low budget cooking
0
I was going to explain why I created this thread at first, but short version, new apartment, no money. Would you be so kind and share your favorite low budget recipe?

Oh come on guys... I was hoping for legitimate recipes... I threw together a soup made of cabbage, ground beef, rice, discount tomato sauce, canned green beans and ramen seasoning... Shit like that, oddly functional and strangely tasty stuff you can make for under $5 USD...

I can help you if you give me a list of what you're working with or a per-month budget.
I recommend buying potatoes (cheap and last) they absorb a lot of flavor.
For meats I recommend buying either a large roast and cutting it into pieces, also make sure to separate your foods into individual portions, so you never make to much food.

Well, operating on my current income, I have negative $14 USD per month, however if my grovelling was successful today I will have anywhere from $70 to $100 per monbut that includes cleaning products, incidentals and savings, not to mention the wild card of prescriptions...

This is a luxury. Cream alone would eat away a good chunk of funds.
As for being able to do a per month cost with 100 dollars max and that's also with toiletries. I'd say you need find a second job. Or it's canned tuna and ramen all the time for you.

One of my favorite things to do is take ramen, I use cup-ramen. Poor hot water in per-usual.
In a pan, fry anything you have on hand, left over meats, veges, etc. Cabbage is my favorite, and you can use it in other recipes. Make sure that everything is cooked through. Last thing you need is food poisoning.
Dump out the liquid, then throw the noodles in and fry for a bit. Viola, easy and cheap fried noodles. Sorry if this isn't really descriptive. Food is what you make of it.
Note: If you ever make too much of something: freeze it so that you can eat it later in the week.

Rent, $750, Cell phone $200, Health insurance $150, Electric $150, Natural gas $75, and somehow I pay ~23% in income taxes.
$1325 is my costs before food per month, at my pay rate of $11/hr and 30 hrs/wk I make $1016.40 per month from one job, the other pays $8/hr at the same tax rate with far fewer hours, varying from 0 to 10 depending on how much they need me. I'm going to beg for a minimum of 33 from 1, 20 from 2 and if this third job I was offered plays out, 5 hours from week (which will pay $20/hr with scarce work)

Yes, in an income restricted apartment complex. If I have a roommate the combined income only raises by $4,000, meaning a roommate roommate is a no-go

Recipe:1 cup of rice
1 pound meat/chicken (99¢)
Potatoes
1 tsp stuffed olives
Parlsey (optional, and may be substituted for oregano, it's delicious)
White rice with potatoes with chicken
Make rice separate.
Boil water (twice as much water than rice), add rice with salt, lower heat and wait. Make sure you don't overcook it. Add a bit more water before it finishes cooking, turn off stove, serve.
Make chicken an potatoes in another pan
Season with stuffed olives, parsley, garlic powder (DO KOT ADD SALT, IT MAKES THE POTATOES COOK SLOWER).
When chicken is nearly cooked add potatoes, add water to cover potatoes.
After that, serve.
That's a quite common and a survival food for me. Hope it helps you. You seem to have life very tough.
Where do you live that chicken is 99¢/lb???

Near a hispanic mini-mart.
Rice is 50¢ per pound on special (rarely, usually twice a year, otherwise 0.75¢-$1 per pound) thus 10 lbs for $5, and potatoes for 3 dollars the 5 pound bag. An entire chicken (with a paper sack conviniently containing the heart, lungs, and crop of the chicken) for 99¢ (specials too, usually costs $1.69 if regular price). What the fuck is the price you are paying for the said basic items?
I don't have a Hispanic market here (which is odd because we have an Asian import market, mostly Hispanics and almost no Asians... The best price I found was $2.50/lb containing organs, $3 without. Rice? 50Lb bag for $20, already have...

My favorite scrambled egg recipe.
Ingredient:
Egg
Soy sauce
Salt
White pepper
Cooking oil
Tool:
Frying pan
How to make:
Crack the egg(s), and mix them in a small bowl. Then preheat the frying pan, then pour the cooking oil. When all's properly heated, pour the egg and just simply scramble it in low heat. Then add soy sauce, salt and pepper, mix them evenly. Cook it to your prefered degree of cookedness. Some like it half-cooked, some like it fully-cooked. Eat with white rice
Do note that you should add the seasoning to match your own taste. My personal favorite would be 2 eggs, 2 tablespoon of soy sauce, 2 teaspoon of salt and half tablespoon of pepper. Also I like adding sliced tomato on the earlier stage of cooking, about ten seconds after I put the egg.

Much appreciated. I don't typically use soy sauce in eggs, though I can't think of a reason not to.
