Recipies for anything for a poor student please?

Here are two recipes that got me through the rough patches of college.

#1 - Hobo Risotto.

Take ANY canned soup that you like, and pour it, along with a canful of water and a little bit of butter, into a frying pan with about 1 and a half cups of rice. Simmer over low heat, until the rice cooks completely. Add water if it starts to dry out or scorch. Add a little salt, and some black pepper to taste. If you like the soup you used, you'll like the rice, and it's VERY filling. No more hungry. And super cheap...one can of soup, and a handful of rice.

#2 - Rice and Eggs Ranchero

Cook some white rice, then crack a few eggs into a frying pan. Mix the rice in, along with half a jar of salsa. Scramble it up until the eggs are done. Super tasty, super cheap, and again, the rice makes it filling. Plus it's a good way to use the little cartons of rice that come with Chinese takeout.

I never had a problem with Lidl's meats, but things may have changed since I was there. If you can find a good-sized chicken, boil it up. (If it's frozen, thaw it gently first, preferably in the refigerator.) Fixing a chicken like this will give you a good soup stock and will give you meat you can use in many different ways. Use some of the meat for the soup. Beans (dried beans or green beans or any beans) are very nutritious, as are peas. Add some of those to your soup. Also ad other vegetables that you like. Eat the soup with taosted bread.

Other ways you can use the meat from the chicken would include pizza, pasta, and even sandwiches.

If hummus is available there now, it's a good source of protein, too. Also, I recall Lidl used to have excellent prices on yoghurt. That's good for you and yummy, too. Cheese would be good on your bread for some protein.

Shop carefully and avoid prepared foods -- they're pricey -- and you should be able to manage. Look for things that will make more than one meal.

If some of the suggestions and ideas people give you are unfamiliar to you, you can find recipes for them at www.cooks.com. It's a good recipe site for traditional and unusual American recipes. You'll need to convert the measurements and temperatures, but it's really not hard.

Well, you have to make 42 meals of yourself. Make a lot of fried egg sandwiches. Use 1-2 euro to buy some all purpose condiment that will work. This should take care of 12 meals.

Use the pasta, pesto, and tomatoes, and buy some tofu (which should be cheap where you are) to make something that will last.

After that, get some brown rice. Some brown rice, tofu or eggs, and a veggie or two should keep you healthy for about 30-40 cents per meal. Is there an Asian grocery store nearby?

well i would suggest frying eggs,beaten, scrambled consistancy but more cooked, then adding cooked sphaghetti into it for a change (instead of your usual tomato based sauce) with soy sauce, salt, pepper, sweetcorn etc for an asian style fried noodle. You could also use frozen peas/corns/carrots or any kinda vege to that consistancy.

With bread, you could make french toast (w/o the syrup if u can't afford it), or what we call roti-john (chopped onions, minced meat if u can afford, eggs, all mixed) then coated onto the bread and pan-fried.

i live in asia/australia so i don't know how much food u can buy with euros. You could also try tinned sardines/tuna with the pasta or even with bread (as a sandwich).

Extra crunchy Peanut Butter is also a good with bread and it should fill you up.

hope this helps.

Buy a precooked ham (2 pounds or under if you can find it) from a decent store. Seriously. You can heat it up first and buy a potato to go with it. And the sweetcorn of course. Then you can eat the leftover ham (fried up a bit with butter) and eggs for breakfast or another dinner. Buy some bread and make ham sandwiches (with some mustard). Make a ham and cheese casserole (with the pasta or potatoes if you prefer). Eat some of it with the pesto and scrambled eggs or just eat it cold with a carb like pasta. Freeze anything you will not use within a week in order to eat it later. A small ham for two people lasts forever, for one (in the U.S. the 2 pound ham can cost you as little as six bucks) I imagine infinity. Also, buy some ground beef and make spaghetti with that and the chopped tomatoes (assuming they were peeled). Or buy some chicken and add herbs and oil or butter and bake it for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. Eat with pasta and turn the leftovers into chicken salad for sandwiches (add some mayo) or into a chicken casserole or chicken fatijas or quesadillas or enchildadas or something. Seriously, buying some meat and using the leftovers to feed yourself throughout the week (making sure you have plenty of carbs and veggies with each meal to avoid JUST eating the meat) is the BEST way to go. Remember. Bread and eggs are your friend. Boil some eggs and eat it with bread (make an egg sandwich, or scrambled eggs and toast, or egg salad sandwich or poached eggs and toast). Eggs are cheap and give you plenty of protein. Have mayo on hand (it is used in a lot of these recipes). Buy a can of tuna and eat tuna melts or tuna salad or tuna sandwiches or tuna casserole. Cheap and yummy. Buy a bag of carrots for veggies, cheap and they last forever. Boil the carrots, eat them raw, or add some garlic and bake. Buy a cheap bag of frozen green beans also, to have on hand.

Hi! Add som tinned beans to your shopping list, cannelini, or butter beans, aduki beans, you know the sort of thing. If Lidl don't sell them sainsburys do 3 tins for a pound. As much cheap veg as you can get and live on pasta dishes for the next fortnight - easy!!

im a poor college student as well, but in the US. I eat a lot of sandwiches with deli meats and mustard. Also, I find cheap things in the frozen foods, but these things are definitely not so healthy....

i would get together with friends and cook pasta and the like. it's cheap, and fun since you'll be with friends.....

to be really cheap, get some dry rice and dry black beans. you can cook them up and store them for a few days. it may not be the most appetizing thing, but hey it works....

the hobo risotto someone else suggested sounds rather delicious....im totally going to try that!

make a big pan of bolognese sauce, you can then make spag bol 1st day, lasagne 2nd day, chilli 3rd day. if youv made enough you can repeat this cycle again. always have dried pasta, dried milk, dried fruit and tinned tomatoes in your store cupboard. when you are poor you have to learn to eat frugal but boring, otherwise the danger is you will damage your system by not getting the right nutrition, you have to buy what is going cheap, not what you think you would like to eat. fillers are, jacket potatoes, pasta, it might sound a bit out there but baked beans have fibre, vitamins carbs and are cheap, cheap cheap. believe me i have been poorer than a student but have sill lived healthily. best of luck.

I know how you feel! Stock up on things that will fill you up and will last and not go out of date too quick. When I'm strapped for cash I tend to buy things like pasta (v cheap) lots of fruit. If you can't afford much better to eat healthily than unhealthily. Get frozen veg and just eat that for abit as a bit of a detox. Until you get some funds then you can go mad.

only on the backside concern of instructors, i actually think of that instructors start up out desirous to make a distinction, yet study that as quickly as their tenure is widespread they are able to't be fired and after a jointly as in addition they study that college boards and politics are disheartening. on the different hand, some pupils think of that thigs could be ordinary. i could say ninety% of the questions asked right here by pupils might desire to truthfully be spoke back by a cyber web seek of the priority. no longer bragging, yet I discovered maximum folk of my pictures skills from e book discovering, cyber web internet site lookups and experimentation. I quite have labored with another experts...yet whilst i will study each thing i might desire to be a expert photographer with out takinga formal type, then those pupils could be waiting to %. it up. some might require extra study than others, yet that's no different than the different concern. Having a reliable instructor facilitates advance up the preparation technique.
