Nice links, Clarallel. When you're used to working with, well, almost everything, a sack of flour and some canned goods doesn't look like dinner. I can be. You just have to know how to cook.
$4 a day means 3 meals, not $4 a serving. I can make meals for less than $4 a serving, in fact I never make anything for $4 a serving, that would be prime rib if I did.
I have found many of the good and cheap type cookbooks to be full of cheap eat recipes along the line of chili and mac cheese. They get tiresome and leave me feeling deprived.

My favorite by far is Melissa on the Food Network, or when she was on. She is one of the chefs that I used to depend on for new, inexpensive ideas: It was feeding 4 for less than $10.00. I gave my granddaughter Melissa's cookbook for Christmas a few years ago. She uses is all the time.

Agreed. I have one and almost every recipe calls for fatty ground beef (the cheapest) and American cheese.
Also advised to never buy orange juice again, save XXX per year. Yeah, but I like my juice...
Chana masala with raita & roti
Broccoli & egg empanadas
Pasta with tomato & eggplant
Summer vegetable cobbler
Leek & potato pizza
Cauliflower tacos
Spicy tilapia
Roasted potatoes w/ chilies
Cauliflower cheese
Vegetable quiche
Chocolate zucchini muffins
Peach coffee cake
These are all dishes that made it into our regular rotation of meals.
