People, stop treating yourself badly. Eating ramen everyday may seem to be the cheap thing to do, but it's not value for money in the long run.

Here's a site for fellow hackers - Fork the Cookbook (http://forkthecookbook.com). People say it's like github for recipes, but I think it's a pretty site with some great recipes.

Good food does not have to be expensive. Find a recipe you like, and fork it with cheaper ingredients. Let 2013 be your year of healthy eating.

p/s: I signed up anyway, since I love food :P

The issue is not just money, it's time, which includes shopping, preparation, and cleanup in addition to cooking.

I love cooking, but after a long day's work, when you have other stuff you want to do, sometimes it's hard to fit in cooking too; even just "throw some rice and veggies into the rice cooker" (a simple, tasty, cheap, and healthy meal) sometimes seems a huge burden...

A slow cooker is your friend! When I was younger and foolisher, there would be days when I would stay up for 48 hours straight coding. I still always had pulled pork, soup or congee of some sort (three of the simplest things to make with a slow cooker) to keep me going.

Now, I've just learned to take my time with things. No longer do I let things rush me.
