[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m curious, and serious. I make pots of things like lentils with spinach or black eye peas seasoned with sausage. I’ve never had anything that I would call a stew.  If you’re still reading this thread, would you include a recipe or two?  Or a link to the types of recipes that you’re referring to? The things that I make that are budget friendly become so because I already have lots of spices and chicken broth in the freezer, so I’m willing to try the types of foods that you’re describing— if you’re willing to suggest a resource for recipes.

FWIW, I have a few vegetarian and “world” cookbooks. Many of them use ingredients that are actually quite expensive in the areas where I’ve lived, and even more so when I add in transportation costs.

Another PP, my mom cooked a lot of porridge with millets or quinoa (protein grain) and we used to eat that for breakfast. Veggies is a combo of potato, onions and carrots (they stay long in the fridge therefore reduce waste associated cost), and meat is usually chicken thigh ($1 to $5 for the fancy pastured chicken) in a stir fry with onions. Occasionally she buys beef and simmer it with pepper and salt for an hour or so, the cut it up to eat them plain.

We never bad eggs in fridge and we didn’t know how to handle seafood hah. [/quote]

Thanks PP! I’ve never tried millet — so I’ll look forward to that.  I don’t usually make dishes with white potatoes, so I’ll have fun trying them in various ways as well.  Thank you for those suggestions! [/quote]
