In college, I frequently chose the vegetarian dishes in the dining hall because they were one of the only options made-to-order. Plus who doesn't want a fresh veggie stir-fry where you get to pick which veggies go in it?! Or a fresh 5-bean chili?! Or a fresh black bean burrito?! Okay, I'm making myself hungry...<br /><br /><br />The other time was my second year in France, where each month I had to make ~790 euros stretch to cover rent and utilities (~300 euros), to save for travel during school vacations, to pay for occasional drinks out with friends, and to buy food. I basically learned every single different way I could make eggs, which are so cheap that even the "expensive" ones (more sustainable) are cheap. I ate a ton of rice and beans. Oh, and naturally, I ate ridiculous quantities of bread and cheese! Sometimes if chicken breasts were on sale, I'd buy those and freeze them individually. I also sometimes cooked with lardons (a French type of bacon bits). Otherwise, meat was way too expensive.Brita Longhttp://bellebrita.com/noreply@blogger.com
