/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I'll donate to the cause OP here is something to start with.

Ok, /ck/.

I'm sick of my dinner choices. It's always the same things.
>Digiorno's pizza (filling and cheap)
>Buffalo chicken sandwiches
>Grilled chicken sandwiches
>Stuffed clams with baked beans and buttermilk biscuits
>Halibot's Chicken Pot Pie with baked beans
>Spaghetti (beef, ground turkey or sausage)
>Progresso's Soup

Only meal I make with effort is Cajun chicken Alfredo pasta.

Give me ideas for healthy dinner recipes that are also filling, preferably in image format. I'm the kinda guy who needs to eat a lot or else I can't sleep/get restless. I'm probably 230 lbs, and I need to lose wight.

Here's a picture of various foodstuffs.

Really though, when you're out living on your own what you really want is 2 things from your food:

1. Cost effectiveness
2. Easy preparation

This is one of my favorite recipes since it lasts for some time and is incredibly easy to make and dericious.

Just don't cook out quite as much water as they say to, and add 3tsps of salt on top of it, then mash em up at the very end so that it's something like 50% whole beans and 50% mash. Awesome.

Get a bunch of chicken breast and slice them up thin and coat them in salt and pepper, then either cook up a big patch to eat throughout the week or freeze them in individual packs for later on.

Go find an asian market and get a HUEG thing of rice for cheap, which lasts forever and goes with everything. Those asian markets usually have great produce too, so look around for stuff you'd like to try and then just look up an easy recipe at home.

Just experiment and try not to be wasteful.

Also buy spices like cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, brown sugar, oregano and whatever else.

Hey /ck/, can you guys help me out with a recipe for a bulking stew? I really have no idea what to look for or how to make a stew since Ive been on white rice and chicken breast for the last while. Something along the lines of beef/lentils/beans would be awesome, and having a bunch of veges to get dem dere micros would be great too
