Anyone have any healthy, cheap meals they want to share?
I know certain ingredients like fresh and frozen produce are cheap, but I can never think of anything really yummy to make.
I'm a sucker for natural, organic stuff. And I'd love to start cooking again, being on summer break and all.

Feel free to share, I'll post up anything I come up with too. =)

    A nice cheap one for us is

    Wholemeal pasta
    Pesto (red or green)
    Chicken breast, chopped small
    Chopped onions
    Chopped peppers
    Mushrooms

    Stir fry chicken and veg in olive oil, while pasta cooks, drain past and stir in the pesto, mix the chicken and veg in.

    Simple, cheap and the whole family love. Not worked out the calories yet, as only started Mfp 7days ago xx

    I like making lentil soup, which is super yummy, cheap once you have the spices and filling and very low in calories. This one is one of my favourites;

    I worked out that it has 233 calories per serving. You could easily serve it with some pitabread or flatbread and make a full meal out of it.
