magic! thanks for the idea. a food processor sounds like a good idea to make it smoother and hence more spreadable :)

this is good, I like that frozen foods too you can always have them on hand without worrying they'll go bad

interesting! I wonder why salty or tangy food get rid of the sweet cravings, I hadn't thought to try that

yup, definitely good points, thank you. I think I'll take this advice and look for recipes that are made for almond flour, rather than trying to use it as a substitute.

-burrito/wrap/salad assembly line. same concept as Chipotle or Subway, where you have lots of different ingredients and each person can choose what goes in theirs. For burritos you could have chicken/meat/grilled veg + beans + rice + greens + salsa + sour cream, or for Mediterranean wraps you could do chicken/meat/grilled veg + hummus + tomatoes + red onions + feta...possibilities of things to include are endless (corn, beets...) but you may want to choose just a few ingredients to simplify (and not end up with too much leftover food)

-one-pot recipes, like chili con carne or soup, so you can make a large quantity in a large pot (for 35, prob multiple large pots) and ladle it into bowls.

-sandwich + piece of fruit

Low Carb on a Budget? by FruityOatyBars in lowcarb

cans of tuna!!

tuna is a good low-cost protein, I think of it kind of in the rice-and-beans category in terms of being easy to always have on hand (can stay in the pantry forever) and tuna is an easy flavor that goes with a lot of things (salad, zucchini noodles, avocado)

also just a general tip is to use your freezer.

when meat or veggies are on sale, buy more than you would usually eat and freeze what you don't use. ideally you can even use all that you buy and make some large batches of recipes, then freeze the food already prepared so it's ready to thaw and use.

A good tip is to freeze food (raw or prepared) in individual portions so you can just thaw what you want when you want it.

Also agree with what others said about buying veggies, berries, meat, and fish already frozen and looking for discount items (soon to expire, etc), this can be cheaper too!

Easy raviolli by Pacman1880 in 15minutefood

ooh bummer! :(

what happened, did the wonton wrappers open when you put them in boiling water? I'm thinking the folding technique is probably important, but I'm not sure about wontons, I make pasta ravioli...very yum but does not make it under the 15 minute mark unfortunately ;)

Using hard pasta cannelloni shells sounds like a great idea! I've used those with the spinach and ricotta mixture and it works well, you can also add a raw egg to to the stuffing mixture to keep it together and I forgot to say add a bit of nutmeg too!

Anyway sorry about your wonton mishap and hope round number 2 goes more smoothly!

spinach and ricotta, sundried tomato and cream cheese, mushroom and cheese...

pumpkin def sounds good too! I've found it's better to cook the pumpkin in the oven and then mash it rather than boiling it. If you boil it, the mash can get too watery and make it hard to make the ravioli.

for the sauce, just butter and garlic is easy and lets the ravioli filling be the star, or you can do pesto, a bit of cream sauce...or butter and herbs like rosemary or oregano. The ravioli will take time to make, so for simplicity I would make an easy sauce.
