Hey there, I was wondering if there is any interest in some kind of recipe posting (at least biweekly) where the main purpose would be to show people how to make affordable, filling, yummy, and super easy to make meals.
Maybe the requirements could be less than 10 minutes of prep, 1 hour of cooking time and under $3ish a serving?
Example:
Lentil Soup
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 pound lentils
- 1 8oz can of diced tomato’s
- 2 quarts vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground toasted cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground grains of paradise
Directions:
- Place the olive oil into a large 6-quart Dutch oven and set over medium heat. - Once hot, add the onion, carrot, celery and salt and sweat until the onions are translucent, approximately 6 to 7 minutes.
- Add the lentils, tomatoes, broth, coriander, cumin and grains of paradise and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring just to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook at a low simmer until the lentils are tender, approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
- All Done!

Yes, I love frugal and easy to prepare vegan meals. Red lentil soup is one we frequent already.
