Eating on a Budget

Everyone knows that eating on a budget is sometimes unavoidable.  College students are usually the ones to fall victim to an empty stomach and "moth infested" wallets.  I am positive we all have stories of raiding refrigerators and cabinets trying to find something to eat.  As I searched the internet for a good recipe I stumbled on SEVENTEEN magazine's website (I promise I landed there on accident) (ha.ha).  This website can help you tame the Loud Beast in your stomach while keeping your wallet in tact.  I'll post two of my favorite recipes from the website, and you guys can check out the rest on the link below! Enjoy!
