I don't know how much food you can get for $8 there. Here, it wouldn't be much.

Two things come to mind. Bean corn chili.

Take three cans of beans (different kinds), one can of corn and a jar of salsa. Heat through and serve over rice. Makes a big pot and will last for days.

Peasant omelet. Dice a potato or two and chop an onion. Fry until the potato is crisp. Then add some eggs and cook till the eggs are done. If you have them, you can also add bacon, ham, tomato, mushrooms and cheese.

Or you could buy a pound of ground beef and some tomato sauce to use with the pasta. Or make a big pot of chicken soup with pasta.

When I was really broke, I would live off of pasta and peanut butter sandwiches. If you don't want the bread, you could put the peanut butter on celery. I would have occasional eggs, apples and carrots.

Another option. Go to Costco and hope that they have some gluten free food samples. You do not have to be a member to get in. You can tell them you are using the pharmacy.

yep, make some chili w/o meat or with meat if its as cheap as beans, add some tomato sauce, seasoning and rice if you have some, then dump it on baked or fried potatoes. Have fried potatoes and eggs, put an a tortilla if you have them.

Gotta have meat? go for the chicken too.

Make spaghetti sauce with tomato sauce or canned tomatoes and seasoning to dump on the gluten-free pasta(Walmart sells corn pasta), add beans for protein, or have that chicken on the side if desired.

We did alot of rice, corn and beans this winter b/c my dh didn't get an elk last fall.

Make a frozen veggies and rice stir fry, add eggs or beans or potatoes.

Ham and Peas Pasta

Ham, pasta, broccoli or green peas and parmesan cheese could add garlic and olive oil-boil pasta first, put oil and garlic in another pan and cook just a bit, add ham, veg and drained pasta and toss

Hash

par boiled potatoes- dice and pan fry with ham, bell peppers, onions and ham or hot dogs, salt and pepper

Light Vegetable Soup

veg. soup-chop up onion, saute in oil and add chicken broth, add whatever veg you have, canned tomatoes if you like, leftover chicken meat, rice quinoa or pasta, canned beans, salt and pepper-I've been eating alot of this this week becasuse I didn't want to go shopping!

Broccoli Cheese Rice

cook rice, add chopped raw broccoli to the pan with the rice, or stir in frozen veg.-corn, broccoli after cooking, add leftover chicken, hot dogs etc., and stir in grated cheese, salt and pepper

These are some awesome ideas that I would not have thought of. Thanks guys! It is especially tough being in college, without a kitchen, I get sick of the same foods over and over again.

Some frugal tips.

I should add that I don't throw away the large stalks of the broccoli. They keep a long time and go a long way. I peel off a bit of the hard outer skin and chop and add to soup or use in the broccoli rice dish.

I have been boiling fresh broccoli, carrots and califlower and green beans alot lately for my meals. Rather than tossing the water. I save it in the fridge and use it in soups and mix it with chicken stock. Makes a nice broth and stretches the stock.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
