Yay for apartment and stove!
Only problem is, I'm looking to eat and not spend a fortune with pre-prepared meals all the time. And I don't want to spend 2 hours cooking!
Anyone got any good tips or recipies to share for the student with a stove, tight wallet and tight time that wants to take advantage of this?
The best I've got is simple english muffin pizzas. Take english muffins, pizza sauce, and mozzerella cheese, put them on the english muffin halves, and stick them in the oven for a bit till the cheese is melted.
Not exactly exciting, but it's quick.
I tried to make breakfast burritos once. Turned allright good, but it took almost 2 fucking hours to do (hand cutting, and skillet frying potatoes takes fucking forever). And was just too much to do at once.

Make soups. As long as they aren't some crock-pot affair, they should be pretty tasty and inexpensive, and relatively quick.
Here is a recipe from Food network for clam chowder:
[quote]Ingredients
* 2 dozen littleneck clams
* 2 dozen cherrystone clams
* 1 quart water
* 1 head garlic, sliced in 1/2 horizontally
* 3 bay leaves
* 2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
* 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 4 ounces pancetta, cut into cubes
* 1 celery stalk, diced
* 1 onion, diced
* 2 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 1 cup milk
* Freshly ground black pepper
* 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
* Parmesan Oyster Crackers, recipe follows
Directions
Wash and scrub the clams to get rid of the dirt. Set the littlenecks aside in the refrigerator, and combine the cherrystone clams with the water, garlic, bay leaves, and thyme leaves in a large pot. Cover, and steam over medium-high heat until the clams have all popped open, about 15 minutes. Check every 5 minutes to pull out the clams that have opened (some take longer than others), and give the pot a stir. Pull the opened clams out of their shells and chop them roughly. Cover them and set aside. Pour the broth into a big bowl through a strainer that you've lined with cheesecloth, just in case there is leftover sand; set the broth aside.
Rinse out the pot and melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pancetta, celery, and onion. Saute this together for 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften. Sprinkle the flour into the pot; stir and coat everything well. Gradually pour in the strained clam broth, whisking constantly to break up any lumps of flour. When all the broth is incorporated, fold in the potatoes, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly for about 15 minutes. The soup will start to thicken from the potato starch.
Reduce the heat to low and fold in the cream, milk, and chopped clams. Toss in the littleneck clams and cover the pot to let them steam open, about 5 minutes. Season the soup with many turns of freshly ground black pepper and stir everything together to heat through, but do not let it boil. Serve this in nice big bowls with some chopped parsley and Parmesan Oyster Crackers. [/quote]

It's actually pretty thick so you get like two meals' worth of soup in it if you water it down to your tastes
Okay, you both need nutrition, and money to save, right?
Here's my recipe for some good pizzas.
Bread (Best bread = pitas, second best = french bread)
Can of tomato sauce
Butter
Shredded Mozzarella
Pepperoni (or whatever else you want to put on it, get creative)
Spread the butter onto the bread, then the sauce, spread it out with a spoon.
Sprinkle Mozzarella onto the pizza
Place pepperoni's on the top.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Put pizza in oven for 13 minutes (or the time it takes to smoke a cigarette.
With a bag of mozzarella, can of sauce, bread, and pepperoni, you can make about 5 for about 35 cents a pizza.
This is both cheap, and nourishing, especially when you add extra shit.

Ask your mommy to make one of those for you.
Easy Mac and Cup-O-Noodles are the best things for you price wise, however junk food is never short on the list. But a suggestion of mine is get some celery and carrots, don't just eat unhealthy, my brother gained 20 pounds in his first 2 months of starting college. Remember to go to the Rec Center also if you have one on campus, odds are it's free.

Ingredients too expensive.
[QUOTE=Jessesmith1;18480772]that shits expensive and not worth it[/QUOTE]
If you learn how to mix sales and coupons you can get them for 50 cents each.
[QUOTE=Jessesmith1;18480772]that shits expensive and not worth it[/QUOTE]
Dude just buy your own carrots and meat and celery and shit and dump that shit in a pot and boil it for an hour. I might get some of that too now that I think about it.

Keke ^_^
As far as I see it.
- Mac n' Cheese
- Ramen
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Sausage (everyone loves sausage!)
- Cup Noodle (ramen but easier)
Also my favourite ramen recipe:
[quote=zomgstuff]2 eggs
1 pack of ramen noodles. (chicken or beef)
1 bowl
some water
microwave
okay, first, put the ramen in a bowl with some water and cook for like, 2 minutes.
then, remove it, make sure its cooked at least a little, then drain some water out.
add the two eggs and stir it so the eggs are evenly distributed.
put back in microwave until cooked (can add water to help it cook)
remove bowl, add chicken or beef flavoring, and stir.
this dish is called "Ramen and Eggs."
this is for the people that love ramen, and love eggs. it may sound gross (i thought it did at first), but it is friggen amazing. i wont eat ramen without eggs anymore.[/quote]
Everyone who posts something in a box or a can is dumb.
There's plenty of cheap food if you just look around, and it isn't hard to make at all. Drizzle some cheap oil in a skillet, fry some bacon and eggs for a few minutes, enjoy.

Also you don't need complex recipes like the ones in OP, it's living on your own, not Thanksgiving dinner. Cook plain things with as little ingredients as possible. Also don't be a tool by going out to eat like every other college kid.

oh god I love those so much, best thing to have on a lazy night
Also try bagels w/ cream cheese (toasted) pretty good imo
Breakfast meals are usually easy to prepare and great any time of the day. Try some simple scrambled eggs, add in some bacon and toast; you've got a meal.
