Heard. But beans and lentils (esp dried) are classic poor fare. 2 tablespoons of olive oil, some spices from bulk store, maybe some alliums, 45 mins prep time, and you've got a meal for about $2/serving. Recipe can be riffed on or scaled up effortlessly if you've got a big pot.

EDIT oh I just read the actual article — yeah fresh fruit and veg is definitely harder to come by, especially outside of the peak growing seasons.

Doing exactly this every day. I have MDH "Kitchen King" spice mix right now and it is awesome.

You have to eat seasonally. I've been getting dirt cheap bok choi recently, but it's about done I think. I actually think seasonal variety is a feature, not a bug, but I sure do eat a lot of carrots, cabbage, and potatoes half the year.

I've been going kale crazy because of its long growing season. And yeah, potatoes, carrots, and frozen kale pucks (new username) can easily upgrade a soup.

I used to be all about the frozen spinach, but I got a batch that just turned me right off somehow and now it's team frozen kale.
