I don't spend much on food and I eat pretty healthy. Quesadillas are a staple, but that's just because I like quesadillas. Tonight for dinner, I made garlic lemon angel hair pasta with wilted greens and lemon garlic swai...that's a pretty well-balanced meal and I have leftovers.

Although, I am lucky enough to live in an area of the country that has cheap produce, even though I'm in one of the most poverty-stricken counties in the country.
