Roasted Spicy Asian Chicken Veggies – .55¢
Yet again, I struck gold at the farmer’s market. 3 red peppers for $1! There are ways to find cheap veggies, guys and gals- don’t let the “Vegetables-are-too-expensive” argument bring you down. Start with cutting up your veggies and throw in a big bowl. Use whatever you’ve got leftover in the fridge, but I used [...]

Easy Chicken Soup Recipe – .59¢ per serving
Last week I got strep AND the stomach flu within a few days of each other. I craved something hot, chicken-y, salty, and most importantly, simple. I was also not interested in digging out my huge camera for these shots, so I used my iPhone. Sorry about that, but hey, I was sick! If you [...]

Red Wine Reduction Sauce over Roasted Baby Eggplant
The title of this recipe should actually be: Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid to Experiment in the Kitchen. I got home from work, hungry, tired, and wondering if I should have stopped by Taco Hell on the way home. The only major ingredient I had was some baby eggplant I picked up at an Indian [...]

“38 Special” Chili {Sausage, Beer, & Spinach, Oh My!}
I would say that I’m not a very competitive person. Bragging about how good you are at something and winning is the stuff of daydreams. But bragging and then losing is pretty humiliating to experience and watch others go through. With that said, at my 8-5 cube job, we had a chili cook-off and for [...]

Sauteed Salmon over Black Bean/Mango/Pineapple "Slaw" & Steamed Broccoli – $2.80
(Sorry, this was an old post. It’s not nearly as interesting to read without all the photos.) This simple meal is a perfect example of how healthy, delicious food can be easy on your pocket! For under $3 I prepared a filling meal with protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin C and plenty of [...]

The Anti-Depressive Dinner Party
We all get the blues. There’s no way around it. I looked up what the experts have to say about it and they recommend Vitamins. Up your doses of B, C, and D, they say. Buy a natural-light lamp, get some excersize. All of which are good ideas. Some of them may even work, although [...]

Chorizo, Veggies & Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers – $1.66
Ever had chorizo? It’s a spicy mexican sausage that you can get at just about any grocery store or Latin market…well, in the South you can, anyway. I recommend the pork sausage instead of the beef variety. You might be thinking, “Hey you, sausage isn’t healthy.” Yeah well… it’s not super healthy, per se, but [...]

Balsamic Chicken, Feta & Veggie "Flatbread" Tortilla Pizza – $1.93
The other night I was dying for some pizza. Honestly though, I never have the energy to make dough. So I thought I’d go Euro-style and make some ghetto super thin “pizzas”. If you have a pan with holes in it like this, sweet. If not, maybe you could cook the tortillas on the oven [...]

Sauteed Mini Eggplant, Red Pepper & Garlic – $.39
Ever been to your local farmer’s market? If not, this Saturday you should definitely check it out if you have one close. There’s one here in Charlotte that has unbelievably cheap veggies. Guess how much I got this big bag of mini eggplant for? ONE buck! Couldn’t believe it. I used most of these for [...]

Chicken Wrapped Veggies with Balsamic Sauce over Rosemary Roasted Potatoes – $1.63
Here’s a fancy shmancy little meal to impress that special someone. In my case, that special someone was myself, but whatever. So, cut up a potato, toss it in a splash of olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary, and space the pieces out on a pan. Heat the oven to broil and stick it in. [...]

Balsamic Mushroom "Bruschetta" – $1.15
I hated mushrooms for the first 23 years of my life, until my friend Lindsay sauteed some portobellos in balsamic vinegar and garlic and put it on some french bread. I was suddenly hooked! Here’s a version that’s quick and yummy, and even if you’re a mushroom hater like I was, try it anyway! These [...]

Thai Style Chicken Veggie Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Dressing – $.90
Dude, these things were awesome. Here’s a nice break from the ordinary meal! Though I’m calling them wraps, they were so big, it felt more like a burrito, but use whatever portions you like. You could easily feed two people with this recipe if you made smaller wraps. Cut up 1/5 onion and a little [...]

Stupid Good Avocado Soup – $.74
I think if we have food in Heaven, avocados will be there. As well as mangoes and bacon. I had a very random thought this morning: avocado soup. Avocados give amazing texture to anything you put it in, especially if you blend it till smooth, so I figured it’d be perfect for a healthy soup [...]

Thai Style Chicken Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce – $.70
I’ve been noticing a boring trend in my recipes I’m posting- some kind of meat with sauce over starch. Booooring. That’s largely due to the fact that I’m still unemployed (only for a little while longer) and well, the task of going grocery shopping tends to be low on my priority list. However, this is [...]

Spicy Orzo, Chicken & Veggie Stuffed Green Peppers – $1.85
You don’t even know how much I love Texas Pete hot sauce. The other day I wanted fatty, greasy, crunchy, Texas Pete & butter covered hot wings, but that doesn’t really qualify for this site. So this is my way of satisfying my hot sauce desires, Broke and Healthy style. Cut up 1/2 chicken breast [...]

Chicken Penne "Lo Mein" – $.60
Here’s a great “I’m Starving!” meal to throw together for just yourself or for the whole family. If you have a thick spaghetti or yaki soba noodles you can use that to look a little more like real lo mein, but I used whatever pasta I had, which was penne whole wheat. This is a cheap [...]

Experimental Black Bean Vegan Burger: Prototype 1 – $.33
Yeah, I’m not gonna’ lie- this is all one big experiment. I plan to improve the recipe by trying again and hopefully hearing some advice from you all who feel like experimenting too! I don’t mind buying veggie burgers, but they still have ingredients that I have no idea where they came from like protein [...]

Skillet Baked Balsamic Glazed Chicken & Veggies – $1.48
Some recipes are for shock and awe. This one’s for convenience and taste. But hey, we’ve all been there- you’re driving home from work and all you want is a big fat Taco Hell burrito with no beans and extra baja sauce with a Dr. Pepper. Or is that just me…. Anyway, here’s a quickie [...]

Spinach Pepper Soup – $.60
So it’s the end of the week and all I have left in my fridge is some leftover chili, an onion, a bell pepper and some spinach that isn’t quite fit for eating fresh. What to do? Soup! That’s what to do! What I love about soup is that it’s flippin’ fast, easy, and you [...]

The Best (shh, Vegan!) Chili in the World – $.70
I’ll be honest, there are few things out there that I think are better withOUT meat. For me, chilli is one of them. This recipe really doesn’t need meat in my humble opinion. However, if you choose to add some, try adding something more interesting than ground beef. Try kielbasa, chicken, or ground turkey. Watered [...]

Blue Collar Curry Chicken Fajitas – $.63
For this recipe I used some chicken from my Blue Collar Baked Chicken recipe I posted a few weeks ago. You don’t have to make this chicken for this recipe, but that’s what I’m basing price on. This is a great little dish to throw together at the end of a long day when all you [...]

Fluffy Salmon Over Tons o’ Veggies – $2.60
For those of you that whine about not being able to cook, this dish is for you. Let me break this down for you people (ahem, bachelors!) who think this looks too hard. Oh, and if you’re wondering if this was yummy, let’s just say my plate was clean before the movie previews were even [...]

Simple Sauteed Chicken, Red Peppers & Sliced Garlic with Ground Sumac – $1.45
Who says you have carbs in every meal? Who made that rule?! That’s what I want to know. I say if I have nothing but a head of garlic, a piece of semi-freezer burnt chicken and a red pepper in my fridge, I can make a meal out of it! These were taken with my iPhone [...]
