is there such a book as 'how to eat healthy and cheaply for the person who hates to cook'?

i'd like one of those.

man, me too.

salads are good for that.
pasta is ok too, if you don't mind carbs.

I think it is written for college boys! :)

I'll share the two or three recipies I use all the time!
Lots of times I'll fix these and freeze meal size packages, which is a minor pain at the time, but really good later.

Pasta with Red sauce - posted this a while ago.
Baked vegetables - really fast and easy.
Potatoes and Peas curried, which seems complicated but isn't.

There's a Tribe.net tribe called "Healthy Food for Lazy People (http://healthylazy.tribe.net/)".

Personally, I recommend slowcooking beans and chickpeas overnight in the oven. You can then use the result in stir fries, hummus-like spreads, salads, etc, and it's cheaper than canned.

I've been looking for a "cook cheaply and healthily for a vegetarian who doesn't have the energy to cook and is only cooking for one" cookbook for a long time.

My mom has a book called A Man, A Can, A Plan: 50 great guy meals even you can make! It has some creative stuff, but makes it seem pretty easy.

Also, there are 3- and 4-ingredient cookbooks.

i dont know any book besides "To be on familar with cooking" but i still haven't wrote it...i discovered with 32 years that i love cooking....i imagine that you have a high testosteron level which leads you to despise cooking...

did you see the french film "la grande bouffe"

my interest in sex i don't know if it is pretty high or not... i have a lack of honest comparison-objects.....my last girlfriend once said that she thinks i could go to the monastery...but i think the reason for that has not been primarily my drive but stored experiences
