Cube Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Chillies, curries, stir fries are all cheap and easy. Nutritious depends what you put in them I suppose. One thing that is surprising is how expensive healthy options are. For example: salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arab_freak Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 One thing that is surprising is how expensive healthy options are. For example: salad. Surprisingly enough salad ingredients are dirt cheap here even without government subsidies. I used to take my grandmother to the farmer's market because they were fresher and cheaper than whatever grocery stores had in stock. I was never a big fan of salad though, so I don't see myself buying vegetables unless it's for preparing a proper dish--something I haven't had the time to learn to do lately. Other than that, the beans/cheeses/pre-cooked area of my kitchen is thriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieColeslaw Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Pastas/noodles are quick and easy! Make soup with a blender and freeze it. A good tip is to make a little extra each time, and put it in the fridge or freezer to save you from having to cook everyday/food spoiling. I used to do it with rice, and would always have a few portions in the freezer to microwave for dinner. Good luck and enjoy the independence I love living alone so I can't help with your original question Find interests you're passionate about to keep yourself occupied with?

Ellmeister Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I thought reheating rice was a big no no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieColeslaw Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I thought reheating rice was a big no no? Why? Wrap the rice in clingfilm while it's still warm so it doesn't dry up, let it cool down, freeze. When reheating, unwrap, put it into a bowl with a few drops of water, cover, and heat. It's only dangerous to reheat old rice when it's past two days old, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I think it's all a bit over-cautious anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
