chicken legs. i used to make them in a toaster oven in my dorm room all the time. rice maker for starches and salads for vegs. i also had an electric burner so i could cook things if i wanted, but its not necessary.

you can also bake cakes and stuff in the toaster oven. ive made cheesecake in there, even.

chicken legs and thighs are cheap.
i usually got packs of pork rib for around $7 per 10lb pack

i forget what cut they were. but they were cheap and they had lots of meat

You can also try just eating 1 meal a day. I did that when I was a monk.

Instant noodles can be a good choice, it doesnt have to be plain. You can use chicken broth with those cubes. Add vegetables. Drop an egg in the boiling water and mix it after with the noodles and all. Its really good.
As said by many, pasta is also excellent. Just boil it, it takes about 7 minutes and add a sauce that you can buy anymore. I have friends that simply mix spaghetti with ketchup and hot dogs.

Make sure to eat breakfast, so have nutella, peanut butter and jam at your place at least.

Sandwiches are always good, bread, mayo, ham or chicken, salad.

The options are endless.
PM me if you want more info.

-omelette with whatever filling you want.
-pizza bread boiled in the oven - you just put sauce/toppings on bread and bake.
-chicken wings with any bottled sauce you can get for like 3 bucks.
-soft tortillas you mix butter and spices like oregano/basil on top of and boil til brown for homemade tortilla chips.
-spaghetti
-mac n cheese

frozen salmon in a big ass bag or even tilapia. add spices throw in oven 15 mins bam.
canned tuna, can make a lot of easy stuff with it.
ham and turkey and make sandwiches.
shop around in frozen section of Walmart a lot of easy stuff just throw in oven

Salads are super cheap. Those plastic containers with 50/50 greens/ spinach are packed - good 5-8 meals and only $5 for a pack. Then dressing, cheeses, carrots, tomatoes, etc.

Thanks for the good ideas guys

this! theres good deals on them and they tend to last a long while too.

Chicken breasts
bread crumbs or corn meal/any bread product smashed up (I use a mixture of corn meal/corn starch/chicken bullion/cumin/S&P)
onions
corn
carrots/other veggies
eggs
flower

Pretty basic. Chop onions, carrots, and other veggies. Get 3 plates out, beat the egg and put it on one plate, put flower on another and put the bread crumbs on a third. Chicken goes flower -> egg -> bread crumbs. Throw in a frying pan with some olive oil on ~7 heat to crisp the crust (just a few minutes on each side), then add carrots/onions and cook on like 5 heat for awhile, add the corn after you think the chicken is just about done and cook the corn for a minute or two. Check the chicken by cutting into it or look up an internal temperature online.

Pork chops
Caijun seasoning
red onion
brown sugar
rice
green beans

caijun seasoning + pork chops = epic delicious. throw it in a frying pan with a little olive oil and cook it until done (again, slice into it with a knife and look at the inside; it should be mostly whiteish, not super pink). Onions? Slice 'em (rings) and throw them in a smaller frying pan with the brown sugar and some olive oil. Cook them on low heat and for a long time--they'll start to get all limp and stuff, that's how you want them. Taste test and if they aren't sweet enough, add more sugar. You can't really over cook them as long as you're on low heat so don't worry about that. Rice just cook as directed. Be very specific about the rice/water measurements. For the beans, wait until you've browned the pork chops (just like the chicken, high heat for a short duration on both sides) then fill a frying pan with water and boil them for a short while until they start to get soft (if you wait too long, they'll start falling apart, but there's a pretty big window you can hit. Fork should slide fairly easily into them). Drain the water from the pan and wipe it down. Add olive oil to the pan, put the beans back in, add garlic, add butter, add S&P. Don't do a ton of butter--you just need a little bit, enough to spread thoroughly around the beans.

Order of cooking should be onions + rice -> pork chops -> beans. If you're quick about it, you can actually prepare the pork and beans while the other stuff is cooking and if you time it right it'll all finish at the same time, ~20-25 minutes depending on your rice.

Caijun seasoning can be your best friend. You can do lots of stuff with it. Also I love curry so I have a few curry recipes.
