Stone Soup blogThis blog was recommended by a friend. Otherwise, I might never have found a minimalist food blog from Australia (sounds rather obscure, I know). However, there are some very appealing features here for medical students.

Where else will you find (mostly) healthy recipes with 5 ingredients, ready in 10 minutes, for meals that add up to $2 per day? I’ll admit: so far, I’ve only tried the self-saucing ginger pudding. It was excellent. However, the sauteed chickpeas with cauliflower seems like a smart mix.

Try exploring this site. Use the search box to see if there’s a variation on your favorite recipe that might fit more easily as a weeknight meal. There’s only one downside: many measurements are by weight. If you get stuck, there are helpful conversions here.

Go ahead, check it out!
