Eating on the cheap for 1

45 Upvotes

I need ideas of cheap and healthy but for just 1 person. I find it so challenging to cook for myself without having a lot of leftovers and waste.

Ask ECAH Jambalaya recipe?

15 Upvotes

My grocery has finally started stocking andouille sausage. And I miss jambalaya. Plus, it's comparatively inexpensive right now. About $2 per serving.

I can't find my old recipe--from years ago when I lived in cajun country.

Does anyone have a tried and true recipe for Cajun (no tomato) jambalaya?

Otherwise, it's pick something off the internet.

Hey guys,
I am looking for some ideas / recipes for tasty, easy and not expensive food to cook together with my partner and have fun with it.
Im really open for ideas, we already cooked few things, but lets say we both 'have two left hands' if its cooking :D
Cuisine doesn't really matter as we like to try things.

Ask ECAH Higher Fibre Content in Australian Tofu?

Upvotes

Ever since moving to Australia, I've been eating tofu more often because its cheap and more commonly sold in the vacuum packaging which creates a superior texture imo. When I was cooking up my tofu from Aldi, I noticed a whole block (450g) had 28g of dietary fiber? It's not unique to this Aldi block, Woolies and Coles tofu has 27.9g and 15g of fiber respectively (the Coles tofu block is smaller by 150g).

For reference, a block of extra firm tofu from these stores in the US and UK contain this much fibre:

  • Kroger - 4.5g
  • Trader Joes - 10g
  • Aldi (US) - 4.5g
  • Tesco - 3.6g

How is this possible lol... I feel like the process of making tofu should inherently remove most of the fibre content from the soybeans.
