On this link, there are going to be a wide variety of different recipes, from around the world.
Most of the recipes are colourful, healthy and very cheap to make.
They are all generally based on 4 servings, but you could always make a double lot and freeze some.
Remember when you have let hot food cool down, on the side, for up to an hour. To put it in the refridgerater. Make sure the food is covered, or in a container etc. Try to eat it within 3 days, if you do not want it straight away. If you decide to freeze some, then, also put it in a sealed container, in the freezer and use it within 3 months. Always thaw your food out properly, before you cook it safely. To do that, Heat it to above 75 degrees centigrade. When thawing your food, ideally in the refridgerater, in a container overnight. So remember eat healthy, budget, do not be wasteful and use your time and energy efficiently. To get the full benefit and save money from the information in the blue at the top you need to buy the courses.
