/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Sup /ck/. So i'm not particularly well-off, and I need to save money for when I study abroad next semester.

Thusly, I have been trying to eat cheap, using the "large batches of nutritious but not expensive food" strategy.

Now while none of the stuff I've been eating for the past 4-5 months has been "bad", I've gotten very tired of eating nothing but beans-and-rice, bean soup, stew, chicken-and-noodles, etc.

So.

Does /ck/ have any suggestions for cheap, easyish meals that dont take the form of glop or stew?
I'd really like some variety in the texture of what I eat, at least for a little bit.

thanks in advance
