Oh I hate when more middle to high class (not rich rich) start to latch onto things poor people have done since forever and make it into ~fancy~ stuff like:

-Biking to your job

-Eating leftovers

-Buying from thrift store/getting hand downs

-Avoid eating out

-Taking walks instead of using your car

"Oh look at this new trick to save money/save the environment" Babe you're stealing poor people culture and gentrifying it instead of making accessible for everyone

#seriously i could find so many recipes of easy cheap stuff to eat at home and candies when you have a budget of 15R$ for treats and then #once middle to high class latched on homemade food everything homemade started to cost a shitton #and every recipe called for like milk from a goat that was milk during the full moon in the mounstains of himalaia #instead of milk you buy on bulk

Favorite easy recipe?

i love this QUESTION!!! whenever idk what to eat i'll make this lentil soup and it is GREAT it has protein and veggies and it is so good and adaptable and good for meal prep!! i'll put a picture of it here and add the recipe below the cut.

adapted from this recipe

Ingredients: 1 cup red lentils (I’m serious, JUST one cup, it’ll make 3-4 servings), 3 cups low-salt chicken stock or water, mirepoix (diced carrot, celery, onion), 2 hot Italian sausages, a handful of kale (washed, stripped from the stems, and torn into pieces), oil, salt, whole spices (I used cumin, mustard seeds, and black pepper) and 3 tbsp lemon juice

Saute the mirepoix in oil until onions turn translucent, then add the sausage (removed from its casing), break it up, and let it get a little browned. Add in the stock/water and lentils (I added in the kale here too since it’s tough and needs a while to cook) and bring to a boil, then turn it down to a simmer and let it go for 15-30 minutes depending on how quickly your lentils cook, stirring every now and then. Somewhere around here, check for salt and add as much as you want. Right after you take it off the heat, add in the lemon juice. During the last 5 minutes or so, take some oil, heat it up, and fry the whole spices to make tadka (infused oil + bloomed spices). Make sure you keep an eye on it and keep it moving so nothing burns (takes about a minute, should smell really good). Serve with some bread if you want and a drizzle of tadka on top!

Kale can be substituted with any leafy green vegetable (spinach and Swiss chard would probably be really good), the tadka can totally be omitted, and the sausage can be swapped for a nice ham hock, chorizo, etc, or omitted entirely to make it vegan :) also I added extra lemon juice bc I like sour things but u don’t need to. This is also good with some hot sauce and/or Greek yogurt on top too!

#it's so good and honestly what i do is when i have a day where i have enough energy i chop up a bunch of mirepoix and freeze it #but yes i love this recipe it's so simple and soothing and so good with some bread OR you could put potato pieces in there?? so good #lentils are also wicked filling and cheap as fuck for a bag of em #this is also a really fun recipe bc it's so simple there r so many ways to customize it w spices or add ins!!!! #answered #anonymous #i have a HUGE growing google doc of recipes if anyone is interested owo i love cooking and food also #if you try this tell me what you think!!

mug cake for when you're actually broke and need to eat (4 ingredients, no sugar, no eggs)

disclaimer: this recipe obviously assumes you have access to the ingredients needed. sometimes you won't. this is for people who do. it's all non-perishable staples, and things you could get in a food bank.

you will need (measurements are not precice, i do this by eye):

2 tbsp of plain or self raising flour 2 tbsp of hot chocolate powder or cocoa powder (or melted real chocolate if you happen to have it) 5(ish, until cake batter consistency) tbsp of cold water or milk (if you have it) 2 tbsp of any fat (i usually use vegetable oil)

method:

put it all in a mug (go for a bigger mug or a bowl if using self raising as it will rise when cooked) mix mix mix until no lumps microwave in 10-20 second bursts until a fork or knife comes away a little crumby but otherwise clean let sit for a minute so you don't burn your mouth eat <3

The local farmers just started selling the first kohlrabi of the year, and I am always surprised seeing people throwing away the leaves of this underrated vegetable. So I would like to share a recipe from my grandma - a wonderful cook, and also a very frugal person. 

For this budget-friendly kohlrabi soup, you focus on the leaves. My grandma often got them for free at the farmers market, even some supermarkets have "waste bins" for unwanted vegetable parts and will give you some because, as I said, most people use the bulbous stem only. 

This serves two (hungry!) people, and you can improvise a lot. You will need half of the kohlrabi stem. Put the rest aside for a snack, you can even eat it raw, cut in thin slices and salted, like healthy crisps, or in a salad. Make the most of it! You will also need all of the leaves, an onion, and three small or medium sized potatoes. You could also use instant mashed potatoes instead, or add other vegetables of your choice. Go with whatever you have. Peel the kohlrabi stem, onion, and potatoes, remove the hardest parts of the leaves as depicted, and chop the vegs. (Frugal option: Put the peels in the freezer and use them later to make your own broth.) 

Now add a tablespoon of vegetable oil (I used olive oil, but this is a "use what you have at hand" recipe.), and one teaspoon of sugar, and roast it gently until the onions start to brown. Add water until the vegs are just covered. Give this mixture some salt and pepper. Season to your taste. I highly recommend a pinch or two of ground nutmeg, rosemary and parsley for the fancy version of this. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Use a blender to make this smooth and creamy. 

For a fancy version, serve it topped with some almonds, nuts, or fresh herbs. 

The taste of kohlrabi leaves reminds of a mixture of broccoli and turnip. You can just wash and chop them and put them in the freezer, ready to be made into soup later. Don't throw them away - and if others do, get them for free! 🙂

The “I am hungover and have no money” Ramen

•First get these things

Plus an egg for every pack of ramen you are cooking, I forgot to get the eggs out

•boil your ramen and strain

•Using the Hatsune Miku chopsticks that you got your roommate for Christmas does make it cook faster!

•In the same pot you cooked your ramen it, lower the heat to like 3 or 4

•Add butter and let it melt, then put in however much brown sugar you want. Preferably less than the amount of butter you used but I do not care.

•it should look like this

•Add garlic obviously, stir and let it cook till it starts smelling really good

•Add the noodles back in and stir with the Hatsune Miku chopsticks

•I like to add about 3/4s of the seasoning packet

•Add the sweet soy sauce, the noodles should look nice and brown from the soy sauce.

• Move the noodles to the side so you can crack the eggs into the bottom of the pan and let them cook a bit like so

•once the eggs are sufficiently cooked, whip that shit into the noodles, almost like a carbonara texture?

Done! It should probably be a bit more brown than this pic but whatever

Is it healthy? no but it is yummy and cheap

Easy and cheap study snacks: stuffed croissants

These are a favorite of mine and super fast. All you need is:

A can of croissants

Stuff to put in them

That's it! Today I used turkey and vegan cheese. Some other favorite fillings have been:

Diced tomatoes, basil, and cheese

Shredded chicken and buffalo ranch

Onion, chicken, and spinach

Spinach, egg, and cheese

These are super customizable and honestly a little fun! Usually I can find crescent rolls on sale and I just use whatever I have at the apartment to stuff them! They can be kept in the fridge and reheat nicely too!

I just put my filling on the wide end and roll and shape the roll!

I've seen people do this with biscuits too so if that's what you have or prefer you just pull the biscuit in half and put your filling in and then put the biscuit back together!

Bake according to package directions and your preferences and you're done!!!

weird i know but would people be interested in a silly little online recipe book? I made it so I, a guy who didn't cook often and doesnt like spending money, could cook regularly while living alone in university. I still use and update it!!

#the words of a fudgecake #power cut so tumblr keeps eating this draft L #Theyre basically recipes that arent super elaborate and food I could make every day without getting extra things from the store #this is a guy who cant cook on the fly and hates measuring things btw <3 for low-ish spoons and decently cheap #I'm having a lot of fun putting it into google docs and adding extra commentary and formatting tbh #It's not perfectly accessible for everyone but it's mostly written for me— sorry if you can't use it because of dietary reqs /gen

Whats your process for coming up with food ideas?

Being hungry all the time, mostly.

Inspiration comes from a lot of things, tunnelbuns are actually based on miner pasties because I wanted to adapt a culturally relevant dish from the area. Other times I just think about the sorts of materials they have, and what I would like to eat it with.

I'm also just a very curious person, so for example, I was once looking at leeches and my brain said, "I wonder if you can eat those."

Some googling later and, yes, you can! Bang that's inspiration for Warrior Bites. APPARENTLY they also become crunchy like a nugget. I'd put them in some butter, add some garlic, fry it up, and dip that in some sweet sauce.

A LOT of my ideas start off as "I wonder if you can eat X" and then going on a trip to Duckduckgo to find out. Most things can be eaten and there's a long history of people eating it. The second question, "can cats eat X", usually only comes up for non-animal foods.

Like mushrooms for example. Cats CAN eat safe varieties of mushrooms AND they can taste it, because fungi have similar proteins to meat, funny enough.

So I guess I should say that my food idea process looks like curiosity. A lot of asking questions and playing around with the answers. I wish I could be quicker with putting Warrior Bites entries out, but I try to only put those out with art.

#I went to England once and I was ASTONISHED by how blackberries just grow everywhere #Like holy mackerel #So here I was #This unstoppable embarrassing American tourist stuffing my face full of blackberries at every chance #Partner trying to hold me back like a dog pulling at a leash #I will eat anything at least once and if I like it you can't stop me from eating it #If I'm not thinking about warriors im thinking about food #I have a massive collection of cookbooks btw #Every time I see a cheap book of recipes I pick it up just to look at the kinds of food I could be eating #So when I read warriors I am thinking about how they should be storing the prey and what they could be cooking #Soups man they could have soooooo many soups #Man I want fish rn #Keep thinking about salmon #Bone babble #Bones gives advice

[mothlagoon]

This katsu was SO good and simple I gotta give you the recipe:

Ingredients:

Golden curry

Vegetable stock cube

Potatoes

Carrots

One onion

Method:

Dice one onion and chop potatoes and carrots (You figure out how many) I like chopping the veg all asymmetrical and chunky so it looks all ghibli

Heat olive oil in saucepan and put the onions, potatoes and carrots for five minutes

Fill about 2/3 of the pan with water a with a vegetable stock cube and boil for 15 minutes

Throw in about 3 golden curry cubes until they've dissolved and it's the thickness that you like.

That's it!

Eating this SO MUCH lately I heckin’ love katsu but usually make it differently, this is way simpler and there’s always too much so I’ve been putting it in the fridge and heating it up with a bit of water again the next day.

✨And of course you gotta have the sushi rice with it✨

Heyy shh shshshshsh don't cry, buy a bulk pack of pierogies (any flavour you like), bake until golden brown, top with sour cream, great value chipotle & ancho hotsauce, honey, and salt and pepper to taste.

Use a spare piece of bread to soak up any sauce left behind.

Ok?

#important #struggle recipes #spoonie food #recipe #struggle food #low spoons #it will all be ok. love and peace on planet earth. #pierogi #it was so fucking good #it was an experiment and it paid off SO WELL #needed to add more honey though or mix it better. should've done the sauce and stuff before I put the pierogies in my bowl. #but holy fuck I am definitely doing that again #oh my god it was so good #SO SIMPLE TOO #I love pierogies so much #pierogies my absolute beloved. #I need to buy more. I hope my roommates will buy more #they're almost always used as a family meal here which is super nice. #the great value ones are dirt cheap thank gods #I hate walmart but I am also reliant on them right now. #but mmmmmmmm pierogiesssss #I will need to invest in more easy filling food now that I'm in school again

Cap'n : *sigh...*

Sweet : what?

Cap'n : nothing..

Sweet : you don't like the food?

Cap'n : I love the pepper steak and mashed potatoes with wine like it's one of the classic expensive food! but ironically I miss eating rice with only sugar so much right now.

Sweet : ????@%^&!%&&*(#&(?!!?!?

#[records] #Scc #Sweet #Cap'n #only filipinos could understand this about why rice and sugar is a good meal #yeh Cap'n likes expensive stuff like he dreamed of but he miss what he used to eat too #some common humans miss the old days we used to be broke and do cheap budget but still enjoyed simple life what god has already given us #and when you reached to the point you're successful like you dreamed of. you miss those times were so simple #Brothers Blood au #<- scc are not the brothers. Mark and Seren are. the scc are also main characters here as Mark's bandmates #Cap'n could still enjoy rice from other countries but he'd love it more when it's imported from the Philippines itself #sadly Cap'n doesn't know how to cook so he needed K_K and Sweet's help for it (he's lucky he got his mom's recipes) #imagine he goes to every fast food chain jollibee they pass by #I want to give Cap'n some more backstories (like his dad has another family aka he has step-siblings and stepmother) #and Cap'n did all his best to get better income for himself (because his mother sadly passed away before he moved out)

Made medieval mashed beans with figs. Or rather "Muos vonn bonen mite feygn"

The recipe is from H. Jürgen Fahrenkamp's book "Wie man eyn teutsches Mannsbild bey Kräfften hält", which is a compilation of historical medieval recipes from different places of what are now Germany and Italy, with a few French and Spanish dishes mixed in. Mr Fahrenkamp has added measurements to the recipes, which was not done back in the day, so following along is very easy and you can achieve delicious meals with very few ingredients.

So in short, i love this book a lot and am glad that I bought it last year on my trip with @marquisevonobst and this is the recipe I have now made at least a dozen times :3

The added veggies are oven baked parsnips, carrots and celery stalks, which go great with the beans. They are leftovers from yesterday.
