Answer 2

I did these for my boy when he was in college and had a huge appetite; Bread Fritters; Go to the bakery section of the store where you normally buy bread. Ask the baker for an "unbaked" loaf of bread. He must put exactly the same amount of dough he would have used to bake a bread with in to a plastic bag for you, and it would cost no more than a loaf of bread. Take that home and in a pot warm some cooking oil to about half the depth of the pot. (Smaller pots take less oil than bigger ones do)... The oil temperature should be medium hot. (About half the heat that the stove plate will go) Now cut from the unbaked dough a slice about the size of your palm, and with a little water on your fingers (to prevent the dough from sticking to your hand), stretch out the dough in all directions until it is about the size of your whole hand including the fingers. That brings the cutting of dough to about twice the size it was when you cut it.... Now with care, drop the stretched out dough in to the hot oil. It would rise almost instantly. Fry it in the oil until it is golden brown all over, taking care to turn it over occasionally. It would be puffy and crisp when done. With a large ladle or sieve, scoop out the bread fritter and place on an absorbent kitchen towel to rid it of most of the oil still on it. Repeat this process until all the dough is done. These bread fritters are extremely filling, and can be cut open and filled with almost anything from grated cheese to minced meat to cold processed meat, syrup or jam. Try it, you will probably have some left over for two or three days, which you can take to work if you like.... Bread fritters can be frozen and warmed up again if you have made too much, but the dough cannot, so rather make the whole lot and freeze what is left over for another day. If you decide to freeze them, do so without a filling. Fillings should always be made fresh.

Answer 3

Tuna Casserole is pretty cheap to make. That's just 2 cans of tuna 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 a bag of frozen peas (1 pound bag) and 1/2 a pound of cooked noodles. (about $5) Boil the noodles in salted water and drain well. stir in defrosted peas, drained tuna and soup. You can bake this mix at 350 for an hour with crushed potato chips on top, or just serve it warm.

Answer 5

Pasta's easy to cook, satisfying and relatively inexpensive...just boil pasta, drain and top with your fave sauce. If you don't have much time to cook, you can get those prepared spaghetti or pesto sauces. (Pasta was my staple food in college). Hamburger Helper is also good - you can have them with a side salad for a healthier meal. Have wholewheat bread, make fresh and filling sandwiches (tuna/ham/bacon etc.) with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and cheese.
