If you plan living very cheaply add bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, noodles,cereals and other starchy carbohydrates to your diet.
Hi Charis,
I've merged your thread with the Donate a recipe thread, because it answers your question, and it would be good if folks can continue to add to it.

My Famous Meatballs
I have people come to stay pre-book these for the first night!
I use either turkey mince or beef mince
1 packet of mince
1 onion chopped
few tablespoons of olive oil
4 tsp dried parsely
1 tsp dried oregano
pinch of chilli if liked
salt and pepper
1 large clove garlic
1 tin chopped tomatoes or passatta
1 tbsp tomato puree
1 slice bread made into breadcrumbs
2 good handfuls of grated fresh paremsan
To make
1. fry onion in half the oil.
2. whizz bread in processor with herbs, tip onto plate.
3. push cheese through processor to grate, tip onto same plate.
4. whizz garlic and then add the mince and briefly whizz for a few seconds to break it up (do not overwork it).
5. Tip in plate of breadcrumbs, herbs and cheese and whizz briefly until it just combines.
6. Tip fried onions onto plate.
7. Add remaining oil and as that is heating up start making small balls of meat mixture (we like ours quite small like a small walnut), and place in oil, adding more balls until pan is full. by that time it is time to turn them over to brown evenly.
8. take them out and brown the remaining balls.
9. put the pre-browned balls and onion into an ovenproof dish if baking in oven or back into the pan if cooking on the stove.
10. add tomatoes and tomatoe puree and salt and pepper, cover and cook gently for 40 minutes.
when finished the sauce should be thickened and glossy, if not take the lid off for final 5 minutes.
serve with pasta of your choice and a sprinkle of paremsan and twist of pepper to finish, a few basil leaves if being posh.
This serves about 5 generous portions (approx 7 meatballs per portion), we eat 3 and freeze the rest.

Well, maybe not in all cases... much as I love salmon steaks (as per arewenearly's post), there's no way I can afford them just now!! 😀
Love the look of some of the other ideas on this thread so far. Here's one of my own favourites:
Potato and Leek Soup
In a large saucepan, fry 1 chopped onion and 3 sliced leeks in about 3 tbsp butter or oil, until soft and just starting to brown. Add 8 potatoes, sliced about 1 cm thick, and about 4 cups (1 litre) of vegie or chicken stock as preferred. Bring to boil and simmer, covered, until potatoes are soft - about 10 mins. Then mash up the potatoes with a hand-held blender, or just a good old potato masher, till the soup is the consistency you want - chunkier or smoother. Add about 200 ml pure cream (or to taste) and season with salt and pepper. Heat again without boiling. Garnish with snipped chives or sliced spring onions if you like, and serve with bread. Makes at least 6 serves! A delicious comfort food, especially when the weather gets cold.

Louisa, this looks excellent!! (And yes, I do eat lots of those starchy foods.) Thank you!
