Most are under $2, a number around 1.50 and one as low as .95.

Most are one dish meals.

Good mix of vegetarian, fish, meat, and poultry.

That was kinda awesome - thanks for posting it.

The black bean cakes jumped out at me as something I'd like to try.....

Those do look good, but note that the $3 is PER SERVING -- cheaper than eating out, obviously, but not exactly cheap compared to the way many of us here eat.

Agree the eye appeal is great, too. A lot of them look good enough to eat right off the page.

Good point, lhamo. Lots of people here are awesome cooks. Thought it was nice though to see an article that gave some thought to the meal being a reasonable cost, rather than 10+ per serving. I'll start a different thread for a lower amount per serving.
