I know there are a ton of great food blogs and websites out there, but I was getting overwhelmed from reading so much text. Thus I am turning to you guys to help me find healthy meal ideas!

This will be given to one lucky person via a randomized drawing. Additional prizes will be given out to random participants as well. This giveaway will end Thursday, April 2nd at 11:59 p.m. subeta time.

Rules:

1. Post a link to a healthy recipe that uses ingredients that most people on a small budget would have already (ie: no fancy herbs/spices like tahini, rice wine vinegar, truffles, etc). It could be a main dish or side. NO SALAD. Don't worry about my likes/dislikes since I will be sharing recipes with my friends & family.
2. Ping a friend :)

Additional Prizes: [item=Experiment Beanbag] (more prizes may be added depending on number of entries)

I can't wait to see what everyone shares!

I've lost over 10 pounds and I'm hoping to lose 10 more to be at my ideal weight.

Here's an entire cookbook called Good and Cheap: Eat Well on $4/Day. If I had to pick one recipe I'd go with the Mexican Street Corn. I have my corn on the cob with butter and I've always wanted to try it like this. Just click on the titles in the Table of Contents since all the recipes are linked. Thanks for hosting this. :)

Know any healthy and cheap recipes?

I saved it, thanks! I'm looking to lose some weight too, and avoid the crazy amounts of sodium found in restaurant meals.

Don't forget to ping a friend to enter the giveaway :)

I don't know if a 'healthier' version of a dessert would be of interest, but if it is I know a link to a mini-apple pie made in an apple (and I rather suspect if you wanted to you could skip the topping to make it even healthier). Link: Apple Pie in an Apple
