Not so sure about a recipe section tbh - gmprunner, on 10/11/2007, -0/+69Paris Hilton's personal thinning diet/lifestyle is to shop for a week, eat once.
- meshman, on 10/11/2007, -8/+60"Shop Once, Eat for a Week"
Why would you shop multiple times per week? - davidrools, on 10/11/2007, -2/+46DesignEx:
Most nutritionists recommend eating breakfast to lost weight. I think, among other things, it helps you prevent overeating at lunch.
And yes this is a great step-by-step for anyone who always eats out and doesn't think they know how to cook. Cooking is awesome! It's fun and you can do it while you watch TV and you get to eat delicious rewards and everyone loves a guy/girl who knows how to cook. Seriously it's hot. and it goes both ways...in a straight way. - krebcycle, on 10/11/2007, -3/+43Not anymore, now it's get in line, eat gruel.

- jm9206755, on 10/11/2007, -3/+35How about no. If you're too stupid to be able to pay attention to and follow a simple set of step-by-step instructions because it's "too long" then feel free to eat at McDonalds.
- taron, on 10/11/2007, -4/+35I've been doing that for a while, really ;)
Shopping once per week and prepping food for a couple of days is easy.
I didnt read to the end, but do they also mention leaving dry dirty dishes to soak? ;) - shlemielo, on 10/11/2007, -1/+28 Apparently "Eat for a Week" means no food on Fridays and Saturdays.

Son of a... - Gazpacho, on 10/11/2007, -4/+28I shop a few times a week if I'm eating a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. Snow peas aren't as delicious after sitting in the fridge a week after you bought them.
- DougPenn, on 10/11/2007, -5/+29WTF?! No Krispy Kreme?
- cyclox, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22You have the statements "exceptionally well" and "Totino's Pizza" in the same post. Hmmmm?
Other than that, great ideas. - mhockey14221, on 10/11/2007, -6/+23I am in full support of a recipes section.
*extreme stereotyping ahead*
Digg is full of nerdy guys. Guys dont know how to cook well. The internet knows how to cool well. Nerdy guys like you or me could probably make good food in a manner I could understand from sites on the internet(s).
There's alot of crappy food articles, I've looked, I want something that's easy to make, tastes good, and doesn't need a castration to make. - slayerab, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15enjoy the mercury poisoning
- spidur1, on 10/11/2007, -15/+29Becuase you don't know on Monday what you want to eat on Thursday. I shop almost every day. Of course I walk to the grocery store.
- Al3x, on 10/11/2007, -5/+18I personally don't know how I survive....I can barely feed myself without a girlfriend. Everything looks like random items on shelves...how they put it together into food/meals is beyond me. Am I alone?
I'm going to give some of these a shot. - LaueOfficer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Anything that goes with ramen?

offer to help a girl cook a dish that you want to know how to do
repeat several times
youll now find you know how to cook that dish
and will have made friends with the girl
...who will know other girls - toby34a, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15I've got an easier way to cook and to spend less money. It's called frozen food. A 3lb bag of chicken tenderloins from Kroger costs $8 not on sale (and often for far less then that). You can use this for stir fry (with the $0.50 spice pack and $1 stir fry vegetables), tacos (again, the $0.50 spice pack, $1/bag tortillas (like 10 of them), and the cost of your toppings) and chicken and rice- all interchangeably. Multiple, differing meals for less then $3/meal.
That, and if you spend $10 on meat, beans, tomatoes and spices, you can make a chili that you'll be able to eat for three days in various forms (with tortilla chips, macaroni, and just without anything with them.) It's easy enough to do this.
Plus, Totino's pizza is an awesome meal and costs only $1 per pizza.
I only spend $100/month on groceries, and I eat exceptionally well. - krebcycle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Those people aren't on digg. Portabello mushrooms are not prohibitively expensive, frozen shrimp isn't exactly a million dollars. I'm sure you could substitute regular button mushrooms for the portabellos and the recipe would be just fine. Better yet, use Crimini mushrooms which cost the same as buttom mushrooms and are actually baby portabellos. Besides, portabellos are overrated, they don't have any more flavor than button mushrooms, they're only good for grilling.

I'd dig you up 10 times if I could. I was just about to recommend Alton Brown from FoodTV. He is perfect for the [stereotypical] Digg reader. He will teach you about food and cooking from the perspective of a science class. He uses chemistry to explain why we cook foods, how to cook foods properly, and what foods go well with others. I recommend his series Good Eats a thousand times over. - killiansman, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10why don't you try growing up, moving out of your mom's house, and living in the real world? maybe then you'd realize that this is valuable advice.
- Iwantawii, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Here's one from Mario Batali, sure to please:
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp hot chili flakes (or red pepper flakes)
1 lb heirloom tomatoes, chopped in 1/2 inch cubes, with all the juices
12 basil leaves, torn in half
1/2 lb spaghetti
Boil six quarts of water with 2 tbsp salt. Meanwhile, heat a 10- to 12-inch saute pan over medium heat and add the oil, garlic, and chili flakes. Cook until garlic is golden brown, about one minute.
Dump tomatoes in saute pan and bring to a splashy boil (about five minutes). Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
Drop the pasta into the boiling water and cook one minute less than the package instructions suggest. Drain the pasta in a colander, toss into the pan with the tomato mixture, and place over medium-high heat.
Toss for 30 seconds, add basil, and toss again. Pour into a warmed salad bowl. Grate Parmigiano-Reggiano to taste, dim the lights, and serve with two forks. - demonotaku, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I think the main point of the article was to show you a way to eat healthy for cheap. Some of the stuff you put up is, and some of the stuff wasn't necessarily healthy. Tacos easily could be. But a lot of the time, they aren't.
- joshtj, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I don't see what's wrong with shopping more than once per week. Buying fresh meat, fruit & vegetables makes cooking a good meal that much better. 1 week old mixed greens and leftovers all week for lunch? Pass.
- Iwantawii, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7"Those people aren't on digg. Portabello mushrooms are not prohibitively expensive, frozen shrimp isn't exactly a million dollars.

It's all about texture. Portabellos (or "portables" according to spell check) might not taste much different but they're less rubbery than the button mushrooms. They're the melt-in-your mouth texture that goes great atop red meat, but less so in casual dishes.
On the subject of mushrooms, for those who don't cook much: get 2 portabello caps and slice them up into 1/4 inch strips. Slice up 3 garlic cloves as thin as you can, half a small onion chopped, 1-2 tsp of seasoned salt (Lawry's, ftw) and some pepper and toss it all into a pan over medium/low heat with 1/3 stick of melted butter. Cook covered for 10 mins, uncover after the first 5. 10 mins is conveniently as long as it takes an average steak to grill. Stir things around in the pan if it starts spattering a lot. When the steaks are done lay a few strips of these atop each one and dowwwwn the hatch! - slezzzter, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Whoa, where are you shopping? If every non-meat item on your list were only $0.99 (and where you get fresh peaches or boxes of cereal for $0.99, I don't know) that means your three pounds of meat average only $2.49/lb which is barely more than Costco/Sam's price on bulk hamburger ($1.98-2.19 depending on fat content). This, of course, does not include sales tax, which I will assume you don't pay on food in your state.
Honestly though, where do you find these prices? I want to start shopping there. - aukxsona, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6The freshest food is the type you grow your self...
I walk into my grocery store once a month to see what they have to offer. I see wilted lettuce, wrinkled peppers, fruit fly infested peaches...etc...heck if I want to loose my appetite I go to the fresh food section. The only fresh food I find appealing in this area...yes for 60 square miles ya'll...is the stuff I and my kids grow. There we pull fresh, spicy turnips and greens, radishes, crisp lettuce, sweet cucumbers, spicy peppers, and sweet tomatoes. I try to garden year round because of the lack of viable fresh veggies and hence a lack of viable nutrient dense food. So the only way I and my family can get "fresh" food in bulk is to grow it or buy frozen.
And someone was bitching about it taking a long time to cook. Imagine waiting 2 to 3 months for fresh vegetables that won't make you ill thinking about where they come from. Every winter we have to wait at least a month before anything will grow. (Usually January) Two whole months with out any fresh food at all. That is difficult. - Grimdotdotdot, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8"feel free to eat at McDonalds."
And to work there, too. - LaueOfficer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Well, I know it's odd to reply to myself, but here is what seems to be a great site so far, I'm sure it's been on Digg:

- jimmy87lee, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls:
* two tablespoons of cinnamon
* two or three egg whites
* half a stick of butter, melted
* stick it all in a bowl (baby)
* stir it with a wooden spoon
* mix in a cup of flour (you'll be in heaven soon)
* a quarter of a cup of unsweetened chocolate
* half a cup of brandy
* a bag or two of sugar
* just a pinch of vanilla
* grease up a cookie sheet (cause I hate when my balls stick)
* preheat the oven to 350°F (and give that spoon a lick) - kiltederic1, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7You find your self shopping more with a wife and child. 3 different stores to get the most food for the least money. I think this article was intended for a single guy.
- BrokenImage, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5"Reserve the rest of the rice and beans in a microwavable bowl or plastic container along with the leftover fajita mix, and use it for tomorrow's lunch..."
This article assumes incorrectly that there will EVER be leftovers. Buried as inaccurate. - Lazerous, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5How do you set a microwave to 400 degrees?
- 0x0000ff, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7This guy got like 5 meals out of 1 chicken. I assume article's author is 3 feet tall, possibly with an eating disorder.
- sarlok, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6I can always have the freshest meat and vegetables if I just buy what I need for a day or two. It also helps that I live less than half a mile from a grocery store so I can walk or stop by on my way home from work. It's also a small local grocery store (which happens to have the best steaks in town), which means that it's fast to get through the store and the lines are never long; plus I can support my local business. Did I mention they have a better beer selection than all the other grocery stores in town?

Take the blood out of an alligator
Take the left eye of a fish
Take the skin off of a frog
And mix it up in a dish
Add a cup of grease swamp water
And then countin' one to nine
Spit over your left shoulder
And you got alligator wine - aukxsona, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I suppose you will like it when they call you twins in the future right?
- Nerdculture, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I live on $30 a week :D Gotta love the college lifestyle! And I do NOT eat Ramen noodles.
