But you can create your own “happy” meals that are tasty, nutritious, and inexpensive. To complete this How-To you will need: Oatmeal Evaporated or powdered milk Frozen and canned vegetables Seasonal fruits Bananas Apples Air popper and corn kernels Nuts Inexpensive cuts of meat Peanut butter Eggs Chunk light tuna Beans Brown rice Baking skills A Crock-Pot Step 1: Start with hot cereal Start the day with a hot cereal; they’re much cheaper than cold cereals. Oatmeal is a nutritional winner and very inexpensive if you buy a container of plain, old-fashioned oatmeal. Step 2: Stretch your milk Stretch your milk dollars by diluting a can of evaporated milk or some powdered milk with water to create whole milk. Step 3: Stock up on frozen veggies Stock up on frozen vegetables when they go on sale. Unless your produce was just picked, it’s just as healthy — or even more so — to eat the frozen stuff, which locks in the nutrients. Tip: Canned vegetables are another cheap alternative to fresh, but rinse them before eating because many are loaded with salt. Step 4: Eat fruits in

    @MrDip02 By not using salt in moderation, of course.

    @FakeApology how can magicly make food “unhealthy”

  5. gearlockT

    @gearlockT oops I said oil, but meant to say sunflower seed butter.

    The thing about Peanut Butter is that the Peanuts are grown in the south with cotton as their rotation crop, and cotton crops are routinely doused with high amounts of pesticides. Peanut plants also have an uncanny ability to suck toxins out of soil. I would recommend sunflower seed oil, tastes way better in my opinion and it’s not loaded with cancer causing endocrine disruptors.

    @MrDip02 Then you’re the one making it “unhealthy”, aren’t you?

  8. MrDip02

    @FakeApology im not speaking in moderation

  9. FakeApology

    @MrDip02 A nutritionist you are not. Olive oil is great for you and salt is good in moderation.

    I have done my research and I have found an inexpensive, low water use, green gardening system that provides nutritious fruits and vegetables that give you more bang for your buck. You will be able to sustain your own family and even share with the neighbors. I have seen the system myself at one of the Garden clinics they provide and I was amazed. . His name is Ted Hallett and they call him The Garden Master. Google him for his website and other articles.

    CROCKPOT

  21. lorainedelaney

    Thank you so much. Succinct and easy to absorb. Got a lot of these items at home and making much better use of my crock pot. I watch out for offers on fish/meat/chicken. But although I’m not vegetarian, I don’t mind using pulses as very good alternatives. Brown rice is a great filler. Pick up cheap tinned tomatoes to add to soups/currys/casseroles. Invest in condiments like salt/pepper/chili/curry powder/garlic powder. You can freeze herbs to use later. Thanks again!

    @megasword33 No, they are a type of drupe. (Quoted from Wikipedia): “In botany, a drupe is a fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp, or skin; and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a shell (the pit or stone or pyrene) of hardened endocarp with a seed inside. These fruits develop from a single carpel, and mostly from flowers with superior ovaries. The definitive characteristic of a drupe is that the hard, lignified stone (or pit) is derived from the ovary wall of the flower.”

    @actsingdanceochsa Nope. In fact I eat alot of meat, tuna. chicken, pork, etc. Although at one point when I started out my new life style of gaining weight and losing fat, I almost became a vegitarian. Now I eat constantly as I am almost boarder line body builder, but I still manage to eat tastey meals unlike most body builders who are nutrition nazi’s.
