So, hi there. This might be an unusual thread to begin posting with, but it's something that's been rolling around in my head for a while. I am looking for the holy grail of weekly menus: easy, quick to prepare, tasty, cheap and healthy. I was lucky enough to get a "full ride" scholarship at the University of Leuven (Belgium), and they'll be giving me a certain amount each month to live on. In order to limit my foodie-tendencies to blow a lot of money and a lot of time on preparing lots of delicious, who-cares-about-my-research-paper recipes, I am looking to create an easy weekly menu. You know the thing... buy the groceries on Sunday, prepare a few things, and use them in new and creative ways through the week. For example, make hummus (which is ultra-easy and cheap) and eat for dinner with chicken on top. Used left over hummus next day for lunch with crudité. Use the rest on the sandwich for the next's days lunch, etc etc. Has anyone ever done anything like that? If not, do you have any easy/cheap/tasty/healthy/versatile dishes that work for you during your master's program? Thanks! I am looking forward to exploring the forum.
