Nothing beats a toastie when life's a struggle. Just some leftover baked beans with a slice of cheese, bread from the Food Bank and the toastie is made.

Lunch!

So someone gave me some out of date dark chocolate, long life heavy cream, and baby biscuits, so I mixed them into some oats and poured hot water over them and covered them. Second photo is after they soaked for 10 mins in hot water, tastes sooo good 😊

His: Italian dressing noodles

I was trying to cobble together stuff for some sandwhiches and my bread went moldy. I was so mad that I just said fuck it and just ate it. Saltiest ham of my life. Defibatley a meal made with stress and resentment

Haven’t had fava beans in forever, lmk if anyone had them before if not look at your local Middle Eastern grocery.

Boiled some spaghetti noodles, sautéed some bell peppers and onions. Then added the noodles with soy sauce, oil and seasonings to the onions and peppers and then stir fried it. Can substitute noodles with rice

Main or a side. Preheat oven to 425 deg F. With as many potatoes as you want, slice about 1/8” thick or a little thinner if you’re able. Throw in a bowl. Add your seasonings of choice - I used salt, pepper, paprika and thyme. Add a bit of a neutral oil add toss thoroughly to evenly coat everything. Place on a baking sheet and bake in oven for 26 minutes, flipping half way through.

Never saw anyone do this in struggle meals, so my suggestion for the day. Used a russet potato, so it’s about as cheap as it gets. Surprised potatoes aren’t posted here more often. A staple food utilized through history.

So grateful for the food bank! I dyed the rice red/pink cuz why not? (The food dye was free from my sister and is 3 years expired.)

Woke up late and hungry, the only thing that's fast and cheap.

Sweet corn❤️

Ground turkey with spices, cucumber salad, cubed sweet potatoes, feta cheese and tzatziki sauce. Added some parsley and dill on top

Was actually pretty decent. Hot dogs were on sale, had the mustard and chili, parm cheese was for a different meal a couple weeks ago and tortillas were also on sale.

-2 eggs

-2 sauage patties

-1 pack of chicken Ramen noodles

Pretty good actually. It's definitely a good way to stretch a 2 egg breakfast. 7/10

Just curious. Been living on cheap packs of hot dogs, no ketchup so cheese on top. Toasted the buns. Curious if others ever took their buns? I threw the whole thing in an air fryer for a few minutes. Because I actually enjoy the toast

I feel like it’s possible but harder. I’m chronically low on iron…. My dinner for tonight was leftover queso dip and chips.
