Hey I just started a really fucking intense degree program and it has severely limited my free time. I am looking for some dinner dishes that can be made relatively quickly, on the cheap, reasonably nutritious, and edible for 2-3 days after cooking. Something I can just scoop out of a pot and reheat at my leisure so Im not cooking every day. But I want enough recipes that I dont eat the same things more than once a month.

So far my staple dishes are
>Fried rice
>Chili
>Fajita skillet
>Noodle salad

Thats pretty much it. Once again only looking for evening meal recipes, I have breakfast and lunch covered. For anyone wondering breakfast is fruit and granola yogurt, lunch is sandwich.
My food budget is around $150EUR/mo in central Europe but less is better.

1 cup of soy sauce
1 cup of orange juice
1 8 oz can diced tomatoes
Half a tube breakfast sausage
A box of noodles.

Stir heat until the noodles are cooked and enjoy

i dont think a cup of soy sauce falls under reasonably nutritious. Thats like double my daily sodium requirements even if it took me a few days to eat

Big batches of pasta sauces, stews, and soups are great and easy to reheat, just make sure you're loading them one with veggies. Casseroles like a midwest US hot dish, or something more EU like shepherd's/cottage pie are other great choices that hold up well for 2-3 days in the fridge. There are a lot of really awful one-pot recipes out there, but there are some decent ones too.

Check out some YouTube channels for inspiration while you're at it: Food Wishes, Babish, Alex French Guy Cooking, or the Jacques Pepin stuff on KQED.

What has shepherd's pie got to do with the fucking EU?

>tomato soup with tortellini and sausage
>1 lb Italian sausage (hot or sweet, doesn't matter)
>anywhere from 1/2 to 1 lb cheese tortellini
>1 large onion
>a few cloves of garlic
>tablespoon of tomato paste
>1/3 cup of white wine
>1 qt chicken stock
>28 oz crushed tomatoes
>14 oz tomato sauce
>1 sprig Rosemary
>2 bay leaves
>1 bunch of spinach
>torn basil leaves
>heavy cream

Brown the sausage in your pot, remove it and sauté the onion in the fat on medium until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or two, then the tomato paste. Cook until the paste reaches a brick red color, then deglaze with the wine and scrape up any brown bits off the bottom of the pot. Add the stock, sauce, and crushed tomatoes, then toss in your rosemary and bay leaves. Let this reach a simmer, salt it to taste, then toss your tortellini in and cook for as long as the instructions say. When it's about a minute from done, stir in the spinach just so it wilts. Add the sausage back in, tear some basil leaves over top, and add a splash of cream to finish.

There must be web sites with recipes for stidents5, which would be a useful resource. You may also find student cook books as well. Good basics include whole foods like brown rice, wholemeal bread, pulses, lentils, nuts etc.utilise fresh vegetables and tinned tomatoes, grated for making a sauce and cooking veg in. Use spices to add extra flavour. I guess with practice you cook something from scratch in 30 mins and make enough for two or more meals or you freeze a meal or two. Spending time preparing and cooking food is a good way to de-stress and wind down. Bon appetite
