[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can make without a kitchen  :shock:

I just moved into a basement with my 5 year old and we do not have a kitchen.

I own a food processor, a ninja, and a microwave.

I have largish mini fridge.

I am going to buy a crock pot but any other purchases will have to wait atleast a month (I hope to buy an electric grill or something)

I need the meals to be cheap and healthy.

so ideas? Id love to keep my food budget to about 50 a week.

$[b]50/week for groceries for 2 people in the DC area is absolutely impossible unless you eat carryout A LOT.[/b]

For 2 ppl, it will be more like $75-$125/week.

Put de-skinned checken thighs in the crock pot with water, chopped 1/2 onion, and either a) Adobo (red top), or b) McCormick Lemon Pepper (lots of it) and a dash of Allspice.[/quote]

You're nuts!  We use thefresh20.com and the meal planning there works out at $50-60 a week for 5 evening meals for four adults.  If you make the same amount for one adult and one child you have enough for leftovers for lunch and the other two days.  And you're eating really healthy unprocessed food.  Or reduce the amounts a little and buy some bread and cereal for lunch and breakfast.  Carryout is likely to be more expensive and much less healthy.[/quote]
