Thread: Tell me about good, cheap, homecooked food a college student can make

I need to know some recipes for good, cheap food with minimal preservatives/processing ingredients, etc. I like my food to have a more genuine taste. I'd like to know recipes from any culture, in fact i am totally open to trying new foods that i have never tasted or even heard of. But it needs to be something i can make in my kitchen, and preferably take to school for lunch.

It also helps with the ladies if you know how to cook

Dumplings are not that difficult and awesome Also spaghetti and meatballs is easy. Chicken breasts are easy and adding some spices can dramatically change it so that you don't get sick of it. Thyme is a good spice to add, as is oregano, marijuana, and sage. I'm serious about the pot, has a nice taste, and the THC seeps into the juices and can make you a little high Haddock is excellent with some lemon and can just be thrown on a george forman. Classy and easy.

oatmeal.

rolled oats are cheap. you can add berries and stuff. make enough to wait until dinner for your next meal and you're set for college.

Ramen noodles with ketchup, and cheese in between two slices of wheat bread. Rub the top of the bread down with half a stick of butter. MMmmm

Way to be a health nut!

Ooo! I have an original idea! Corned beef sandwhich (I forget exactly what they're called), it's easy. There's like thousand island dressing on it, corned beef, and, what's it called? Tell ya when I think of it. Look it up.
I think that it's that white stuff you put on hot dogs... Well, then alls it is is grilled up, like a grilled cheese.

They're called Reuben sandwiches. You use corned beef, rye bread, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing.

Recipe for my fav cheap salad

Cucumber
Tomato (depending on size I'd say a 3-1 ratio of tomato to cucumber is good.)
Italian seasoning (generous)
Salt (generous, sea salt is better)
Pepper(generous)
Olive Oil (feel it out, you get better with the Oil-vinegar ratio as you do it more)
Balsamic Vinegar

The oil and vinegar may be expensive at first, but you can get at lest 20 salads out of it. Tomato's and cucumbers are cheap too. If you want to add another ingredient go with feta cheese

Haddock is a type of fish.

Also, I've got an awesome recipe for grilled cheese. Actually think I heard it from someone here first.

1. Take Sourdough bread.
2. Lather both sides with Whipped Garlic Butter.
3. Sandwhich is together with 3 types of cheese (Swiss and Mozzarella are a 4. must for me)
5. Grill it.
6. Serve.
