It isn't always easy to eat healthy while subsisting on a steady diet of Ramen noodles and pancake mix. While you try to make the best nutritional choices on a limited income, it isn't always easy coming up with creative new ways to serve up macaroni and cheese.
While most of your culinary choices might be modest, at least it doesn't have to be the same boring thing each night.
If you have a recipe idea that helped you through the lean times, share it with Barry, and we'll post it here.
I'm as poor as a stump, as all my money has gone towards tuition, books, and my transit pass. How can I turn my TV tray into a banquet table?

Dear Broke,
There are many ways to stretch out your food budget, and one of my favorites has always been the "Heinz Surprise". When your ketchup bottle appears to be empty, and all you see are little red globs and streaks on the inside of the bottle, put a little bit of hot water inside and give it a good shake. Voila! An endless supply of delicious red condiment. Tomato soup anyone?!
