An Introduction


Many new college students need to learn to set up budgets. These budgets generally contain costs from electrical bills to gas bills to, what some could say is most important, food bills. Food, however, isn’t as static of a cost as the others. The price of food varies based on tastes and just what you buy. The problem with these prices is that cheap and easy to make food is generally more unhealthy than expensive or semi-difficult to prepare dishes. The biggest problem food is ramen noodles, being very cheap but containing an unhealthy amount of salt.

Each blog post after this one will focus on a different meal. The idea behind this blog is to share meal recipes that are not only cheap, but relatively easy to prepare food dishes that aren’t destructive to a person’s diet.

Each post will contain:

  • A step by step recipe
  • A list of the ingredients and their costs
  • An overall price per serving for budget reasons
  • Areas where you can be “creative” in your dishes (such as adding different spices to your meal)

With this I hope to be able to aid some college students in finding a balanced budget with decent food. I do this because I was in the situation where my diet consisted of a meal of ramen a day, which can be a very unhealthy lifestyle. Hopefully people can enjoy these recipes like I do.
