something simple like boiled eggs (cold) broken over a bread roll with sliced tomato, lettuce and low fat cheese maybe even some olives & mayo tastes fantastic with a apple and a small orange juice.

How did this taste?
@SoitGoes please stop adding to that bowl of beans and vegetables you hadā¦hahaā¦if you want my recipe for jambalaya it is a rice dish and you can eat like a king for a week. what do you say?
Sounds good manā¦ I just gotta wait a week hereā¦
Iām going to break it up into portions and freezeā¦ I was going to say tomorrow but I might as well now.
I got a bag of shredded cheese for a buck 60 todayā¦
The pancake idea is going to work out great with my breakfast planā¦ they even have dozen packs of premade panackes but they are pretty small.
1$ a day for breakfastā¦ 30 dollars a monthā¦ I can make adjustments and substitute things out over timeā¦ they have 5 lb tubs of yogurt for sale there as well. only a few flavors. but i think Itāll taste good spread on a pancake and that wonāt take very much so the yogurt will last a loooong timeā¦ perhaps too long but Iāll adjust the quantities and do my home work. perhaps the 2 lb vat is a better idea. Iāll start with that. Then Iāll have yogurt galore.
dude donāt buy for the whole monthā¦buy about five days worth at a time so you donāt get overwhelmed.

Iāll look for the brand. Itāll probably save me a little making more room for the yogurt.
I donāt mind making the cakes. Iād make a weeks worth at a time and freeze them.
I need more things to do like that.
Buy it on sale. I used to get bags of shredded cheese. A lot of times I could get them for 2 for the price of 1.
Shredded cheese is good to mix in while youāre scrambling eggs, on omelets, or on baked potatoes. You can also put a little oil in a frying pan and fry a corn tortilla and put shredded cheese on it while itās hot so it melts and eat it just like that. Or put some shredded cheese on a flour tortilla and wrap it up and nuke it for 49 seconds until the cheese melts.
Or make yourself a burrito. You get a flour tortilla, a can of refried beans, shredded cheese, and salsa and sour cream. Lay the tortilla on a dinner plate, put a gob of re-fried beans in the middle and sprinkle the cheese on it. Put it in the microwave for a minute than when the cheese is melted, take it out and put a tablespoon of salsa and a tablespoon of sour cream on it and wrap it up. Itās relatively inexpensive and everybody likes Mexican food.
I like taking fresh vegetables and chopping them up and chopping up some meat. You fry the meat in oil, then fry the vegetables and mix them together. You can make it into a Chinese dish by dousing it with soy sauce and adding garlic. I use mushrooms, hot peppers, bell peppers,onions, asparagus, and green onions. For the meat you can use steak, pork, or chicken. Simple, fast, and tasty.

Hey Bryan, do you like pudding? You can buy fat-free, sugar free instant pudding, it goes on sale all the time where I live. All you do is open the box and empty it into a bowl and add two cups of milk. Stir for two minutes then refrigerate for 5 minutes. You gotta have dessert every now and then.

Pudding is alrightā¦ Iāll look into it
I run a different strategy. Its based on the use of a deep freeze. When the meat is on sale/ not discounted. I will stock up on pork chops. and splinted chicken breast. Then when steak is on sale I will get that too. We cook most all of that on a gas grill.
Then I get my rice and pasta or noodleās and throw them in the pantry. Mack a cheese au Groton potatoās. whatever. I really like Key lime pie but I donāt get it much.

I mean everyone has to figure out what they wantā¦ food is so variedā¦ tastes area big factorā¦
For now I was just looking at canned goodsā¦ for meat itās not the best optionā¦ typically there is always something on sale from the butcherā¦
Iāll probably get a set of knives in addition to my pots and pansā¦ then I can do some real cookingā¦ I bet by the end of the month Iāll have a 30$ list of spices built upā¦ thatāll be killer but once I get those theyāll last.
Manā¦ Iāve done a total 180ā¦ I love this consumerist ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā right now at leastā¦
I also have a canned food, black beans and rice, and a few others one of which is Garbanzo beans (chickpeas) - The Worldās Healthiest Foods. also corn and green beans.
Yeah canned beans all the wayā¦ my chili divied up to be 3.5 portions instead of 7ā¦ so was over estimatingā¦ gotta hit the drawing boardā¦ but I spent money on minced garlicā¦ those mushroomsā¦ cut those out and thatās 4 dollars of the price tagā¦ Iām going to get a larger jar of minced garlicā¦ it should last and its not that expensive.
non canned meatā¦ chicken breasts is what Iām thinkingā¦ that would be cheaper as wellā¦ or at least Iād have more meat in thereā¦
so excitedā¦ god damnā¦ just about a week nowā¦ 8 days at most. Iāll be able to start sorting through all this.
Rice is definitely on my listā¦ Iām thinking a combo of canned salmonā¦ scrambled or boiled and then diced eggā¦ and rice with beans carrotsā¦ maybe brocolliā¦ the right kind of sauceā¦ fucken endless combinations. HAaHAa I get to eat it all. 
This next year is going to be greatā¦ recovery is kind of taking a back seat as I get some sustainability in my lifestyleā¦ but within a few months thatāll balance out and Iāll have time to keep reconfiguring those subconscious beliefs and self induced āignorancesā that change and prevent voices.
I often make my rice in a rice cooker, then bring the beans up to temp, and cover the rice with the beans, or Garbanzo beans.

I get chicken thighs myself. Theyāre pretty meaty and their cheaper than the breasts. You can cook chicken in the microwave, it comes out fine and takes about 8 or 9 minutes, depending on how many pieces youāre cooking at one time.
rice cooker huh? I forgot those are a thing.
Yeah Iāve microwaved chicken beforeā¦ well dethawed it in the microwaveā¦ noticed that it seemed to be getting cooked a little bitā¦ but those temperatures are so unevenā¦
I mean Iāve got the time at home here to move what I want to the fridge in the morningā¦ itāll thaw in there over timeā¦
As for thigh meat I wouldnāt want to deal with the bones and all thatā¦ I think I prefer the flavor of turkey thoughā¦ especially the dark meatā¦ I might get turkey legs on occasion just to have that stuff.
Canāt canāt canāt wait!..
