My favorite is to go to the grocery store and buy all kinds of peppers, mushrooms, celery and onions and spices. Then I cut them all up in 1 serving baggies. you want about 1/4 cup of stuff in total per baggie.

In a pot put a bit of Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) in the bottom warm up, put a bit of garlic (or garlic powder) add the baggie frozen, cook until veggies are softened, then add Rago or another cheap pasta sauce, warm on LOW heat, then pour over spaghetti.

Go to yoga later that night or run with pup, cause the carbs will catch up at exam time...

(I eat spaghetti like 5 times a week when I'm broke).


I also like to make my Alfredo and prima vera sauce only half from scratch to save money (but still keep that homemade taste).
I buy Havarti, it's a decent cheese that isn't as expensive as some. and a package of Knorr Alfredo or prima vera mix. I use half a pack for two people, follow the directions on the back and add a bit of real cheese and a tiny bit of cornstarch, and cook over medium heat, one of my girlfriends uses Asiago (if I spelled that right) and said that was good too.


I also recommend you buy a crock pot...

I'll keep thinking of what other stuff I make. I live with my bf so I have to feed him every day. But honestly it's exam time and I've been falling back on frozen crap and kraft dinner. That and Harley tends to get better food than I do (man we spoil our dogs).
