Eating healthy is the best thing you can do for yourself.
We all know this, but for many it's easier said than done. I think time, cooking ability, and finances are the major reasons why some of us pick the cheap unhealthy options off the shelves when we shop for groceries. When on a budget or pressed for time, the last thing someone wants to think about is buying ingredients we may never again use, then proceeding to follow a long convoluted recipe for some dish that promises great things but may not deliver.
I recently came across this book (thanks to my bestie Julia) which I think is a great resource; especially for people who are trying to save. Many of my friends are students and I know we don't have Whole Foods every day money, so I just knew that I had to share.
While pursuing her Master's degree in Food Studies at NYU, Leanne Brown wrote a cook book which was supposed to appeal to the person who wanted to eat a variety of healthy and balanced meals every day but stick to a tight food budget. The book is a collection of healthy recipes designed to serve 4 people, that add up to $4 a day. Yes, I said feed 4 people for $4 a day.
Her book is available for free download as a PDF.
I've looked through it and I must say, some of these sound really good!
