“Filipino Adobo, which is very different from Spanish Adobo, is basically anything cooked in vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic. Although, this version is made with chicken, you can use any meat, or vegetable, you like.” Thank you to “Good and Cheap: Eat Well on $4/Day” by Leanne Brown for this delicious recipe. Check out the YouTube link for how I prepared it. https://youtu.be/7oiaff7MqdU https://www.instagram.com/p/BnxNlgKBncm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f0yqxwbopgkj

Created my own kind of ramen with vegetable broth. Didn’t add the seasoning that comes with it. But I created my own seasoning. Hopefully it tastes good. lol. I like chives so I chopped up a lot of green onions for added color. But who says you have to add the seasoning that ramen gives you. 😅❤️👌🏽 #cookinonabudget #makinitunique #makinitfun #makeityourown #workedwithwhatigot https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmrxptBl5_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1exsedil79phd

Ingredients for the next recipe that’ll be ready & uploaded tomorrow!! Yes! It’s vegan. My parent decided to become vegan, so I’ve been learning a bunch of different recipes that accommodate their new vegan lifestyle!!! #vegan #cookinonabudget #makeitunique #makeitfun #makeityourown #quickandhealthy https://www.instagram.com/p/BnZM_A7BIEP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1233zh9tdiksy

Thanks for your patience. #cookinonabudget #cooking #foodie #foodist #foodography here are some kitchen essentials to always have in your kitchen.

Dark chocolate covered bananas. Vegan and delicious. Super simple. Make it in some spare time. Cut up some old bananas and put in some toothpicks of sorts. Throw em in the freezer. Whenever you get your next chance, melt some dark chocolate, or chocolate of your choice, and 15-30 seconds at a time... melt in the microwave and stir in between each time so it doesn’t burn. Dip the frozen bananas in the melted chocolate. Freeze again and have for a delicious treat whenever the next time you want. It sounds complicated but it really is not. You can do it in your spare time if you’ve got 5 minutes to spare. #cookinonabudget #makindesserts #deliciousdesserts #bananas #chocolate #darkchocolate #veganfriendly #makeityours #makeityourown #makeitunique #delicious #foodography #foodie #foodphotography #foodfun #foodist #healthydesserts #snacks #yummmmm

made some vegan tacos. From my new vegan college cookbook. It’s super easy recipes, some take less than 5 minutes to make. Most of them do actually. Tacos took a bit more time cause of cutting up the lettuce and chives. But you can add whatever you want to a taco. So it’s completely individual and it was totally delicious!! #vegantacos #tacos #delicious #cookinonabudget #foodie #foodist #foodphotography #foodography #funtimes #prepwork #makeityourown #makeitunique #makeitfun #collegecooking (at Los Angeles, California)

Asian Pears are delicious! I’m not sure if Asian pears is the proper name, but they are closely resembled to pears, even though the texture is more like an apple. They are high in fiber, low in calories and contain different nutrients that are crucial for the blood, bone and cardiovascular system. They are also really cheap for the size and how many you get! I highly recommend trying some! It’s best to cut them up and eat them, imo. At work, I was giving out some samples and this is where I first fell in love with the Asian pear. #asianpear #delicious #love #lovepears #lovefruit #fruit #lowcalories #highfiber #healthy #cheap #cookinonabudget #foodie #foodist #quick #easy #food #foodphotography #foodography #nutritional #snack #makeitfun #makeitunique #makeityourown

Chicken & rice. So simple. So healthy. Pretty easy. Definitely cheap. You can get so much rice for less than 2$. And chicken, you can get several chicken breasts for 5-6$. And that could be several meals right there. When you purchase the chicken. Take it out of the packaging and put each individual chicken breast in a ziplock bag and put them in the freezer until you’re ready to cook them. Makes it easier to grab one piece or two or however many you need. You can add whatever spices you want to add flavor to the chicken, or even different types of sauces and cover the chicken and rice with it. So many different ways to have such a simple meal. And if you don’t season the chicken, with rice, is super great meal for dogs who are having stomach troubles. #chicken #chickennrice #rice #spices #foodie #foodest #makeityourown #makeitunique #foodography #foodphotography #cookinonabudget #cooking #delicious #simple

Instant mashed potatoes are super cheap and easy to make. Great side dish for whatever you want to go with it. Chicken. Turkey. Maybe not fish. But also steak. On the pricer side of things. But look for those coupons! Typically when things are close to expiration they get coupons on them! That doesn’t mean you have to cook it that night!! You can freeze it and then eat it whenever you want to treat yourself. However you wanna do it. If you don’t freeze it right away, you can still store it in the fridge for 2-3 more days and then make it. Expiration date doesn’t mean it’ll go bad at midnight. It just means that stores can’t sell an item past that date. Make sense? Comment if you have any questions. Can’t wait to eat dinner. #steak #instantmashedpotatoes #asparagus #dinner #delicious #foodie #foodist #foodphotography #foodography #makeityourown #makeitunique #cookinonabudget #treatyourself #splurgealittle

It’s really bad to skip breakfast. The first meal of the day is crucial to the rest of the day for your body and your energy. Oatmeal is a great cheap way to have a healthy breakfast!!! You can add whatever you like to add some extra flavor! However, if you wanna splurge a little more, a breakfast sandwich with egg whites, sharp cheddar cheese, and sausages is really delicious! Very simple too. A little harder than oatmeal. But still. 😅 #breakfast #breakfastsandwich #delicious #cheddar #cheese #eggwhites #eggs #englishmuffin #sausage #cheapeats #homemade #makeitypurown #makeitunique #cookinonabudget

Asparagus is a great source of fiber and vitamins A/C/E/& K. It’s very good if you’re watching your blood sugar. It’s full of antioxidants and is a brain booster!! Oh, and it makes your pee smell weird. 🙃 not everyone likes it, but give it a try! They are really easy to make! #cookinonabudget #asparagus #food #foodie #foodphotography #foodography #foodist #healthyeating #makeityourown #healthy #tasty #tastesgood

Made myself a salad out of my leftovers. Made some chicken earlier in the week, lettuce from a few days ago, and some cheese. A technique I learned within the past year was to put it all in a container that had a lid! That way you can just shake it up. lol. No need for a big bowl and salad tossers, no need for two forks if you don’t have salad tossers, and if you don’t finish it, put the lid on and store it for later! So easy! I like to nuke the chicken in the microwave so it’s not fresh out of the fridge cold, but that’s just me. 🙃 #healthyfood #salad #lettuce #chicken #cheese #dressing #shakeit #shakennotstirred #makeitfun #makeitunique #makeityourown #foodie #foodist #foodphotography #foodography #cookinonabudget

If you want longer and/or healthier hair, try these out! These are only a few options of each nutrient that can help grow strong and healthy hair! Omega-3 fatty acids can also help fight depression and anxiety, promote a healthy brain during pregnancy and infants, and is good for your skin.
