I like to cook large batches of food ahead of time and save the leftovers. I already do this with pasta, chili, and oatmeal. What are some other cheap and healthy foods that I can cook in large portions?
My favorite is: beans. Pinto beans, navy beans, cranberry beans, etc. Divided into portions, they can become the basis for any kind of soup, you may want to make refried beans [frijoles refritos], pureed beans can be made into the base for soups / caseroles /etc. Very cheap, very healthy and very good sources of fiber for your heart and blood pressure.
