I'm going to be going to the store tomorrow and getting some fruits and veggies. I have a poor college kid budget- I was wondering if anyone had some really great healthy recipes that they would recommend? I can think of chicken breasts....and that's it. Tell me your favorite meals to make!

    Tuna and eggs are great cheap sources of protein.
    If you have access to a kitchen, dried beans are good and cheap as well.
    Saute black beans, brown rice and some canned diced tomatoes together and you have a tasty quick meal. If you have it you can add a little ground meat (tukey, chicken, lean beef, etc).
