I too have been following this thread and changed from eating frozen pizza and canned soup (how did I think canned soup was a good deal?) to making rice and veggies every day. Veggie soup is so cheap. The first time I made it I put a lot of veggies in, because hey it was like $3 worth, and it came out to be like 5 cans worth and tasted way better. I then went to good will and got a veggie steamer/rice cooker and a wok. Haven't used the wok much, but the steamer makes some drat good rice, though it does take about twice as long. One of these but an older model http://www.amazon.com/FLAVOR-SCENTER-STEAME-REPLACES-HS80/dp/B0002YSVEQ I've been doing this for the last two weeks, and eating veggies and rice is starting to get a bit old sadly. I don't want to go back to my old ways, so it's time to add some more to the rotation. I asked for a crock pot for xmas, so hopefully that will add a lot to the mix.

Here is something that I've been making a lot recently. 1 can cream of chicken made with 1 can of milk 1 cup rice about 2 cups mixed veggies (corn, peas, carrots) Cook rice and veggies. Then cook cream of chicken, mix together and eat. It makes a lot of food for little money and adds a lot of flavor to the regular rice and veggies.

Just made some stuffed green peppers using this recipe as most of the ingredients are things that I had. Only needed to get meat, green peppers, and tomato sauce. Really good and pretty cheap http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Stuffed-Peppers-4/Detail.aspx Love https://www.allrecipes.com so many awesome dishes on there, I get lost just trying to figure out what to try next. Tomorrow I'm going to try and make this pie http://allrecipes.com/recipe/apple-pie-by-grandma-ople/detail.aspx using this crust http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pastry-for-double-pie-crust/

big rig nig posted:What are some good recipes that incorporate chicken breasts? I bought one of the frozen 3 lb bags and the suggested baking on tinfoil is too boring even for me. Dip in flour, dip in egg, coat with Panko bread crumbs, then fry.

The only thing I use my slow cooker for is making oatmeal because I'm lazy in the morning and never feel like making anything. Completely different outcome then making it on the stove. The only thing is that you have to use those slow cooker bags otherwise half the oatmeal will stick to the side of the pot and it's really hard to get off.

PiratePing posted:growing your own herbs I would like to start doing this and would like some info on it. Is there a cheap kit I can get off of amazon? Also how much direct light would I need? I'm in Wisconsin so I wouldn't be able to have them outside, but I do have a kitchen window that I could put them in.

Was excited to go to the farmers market today as I like to go and stock up on veggies in the summer. Prices were pretty crazy though. $4 for a pound of green beans compared to the $2 it was last year. Hopefully it's just because it's the beginning of the season but the grocery store sells a pound of frozen for $1 on special pretty often.
