of all the cheap meals...
Well, since becoming landowners, we have become to own nothing else. As a result, we have gotten very creative for meals. Now, I have not purchased ramen in many years, but it has become a staple in the house. The one thing that is very different then before, is that we do not have a ton on hand. Back in the states we had a pantry full of so many items that you could make in an instant... the difference was, we rarely made them. Many things sat in our pantry for too many months. Well, right now, we litterally have a bottle of oil (one evoo and one regular) a small bag of black beans, rice, flour, a little pancake mix and 1 box of cereal, oh, and a bag of bread and a ration of fresh tortillas, oh yeah.. and about 14 packs of ramen. Our fridge is a little better, it has a few chicken breasts, milk and eggs that have no purpose being in the fridge other then it makes me feel better. and a bunch of veggies.
but here are a few meals that we have managed to make on what can only be desctibed as a very tight budget...
last night we made a chicken chow main. Jamie Olover gets the most credit. visit him at http://www.jamieoliver.com/ and then the other day.. when we were truly iron chefing things... we made this take on pasta con carbonara. We used chrizo ( beacuse that is what we had) and the vegies on hand and ended up with...
and our lazy version of chicken soup--- mostly something to get our kids to eat veggies ( increasingly rare since we have lived here) is the ramen chicken soup with veggies. ans then we made these great quesadilla/ tacos we threw a few tortilla a slice of cheese, left over meat, some tomatoes, and some letuce on the the stove and walked away with a great meal.

Eeek, Fud brand always skeeves me out. I preferred San Rafael, if you have it in your supermarket. And if you ever make it to Walmart in PDC, get the Otiro ramen soup - spicy beef. I lived off that shit down there. :)
