I made some angel hair pasta, but didn’t realize that I was out of marinara until it was done cooking. The sauce has oregano, basil, a dash of parsley, a packet of red pepper (from Pizza Hut), and oh yeah, the base of the sauce . . .
For some reason, this meal stands out from my childhood when my mom was really poor.
So cheap, but so delicious!
Than the $1 Totino’s pizza from Wal-Mart. It hardly serves 2 people. Who say’s you can’t get anything for a dollar these days?
I am getting e-mails why we haven’t featured the quintessential trashy eat, ramen noodles. Fueling college students everywhere with starch and sodium $0.25 at a time, it just makes sense to be featured here. Well dear readers, here you go.
I don’t eat a lot of meat, but I was craving something like a hamburger. The only thing in the house was french fries with all the burger fixins.
I can’t begin to tell you how sinfully delicious barbecue sauce and parmesean cheese on corn chips are. There is nothing nutritionally redeeming about this, but we’re not going to start worrying about that now.
I didn’t have money to get fast food, but I was craving a fish sandwich for lunch. It’s 4 fish sticks, Velveeta, Miracle Whip, mustard, and lettuce on toast. It was pretty tasty with less grease than fast food.
Lunch today was a pot pie and a beer. The line of work that I am in doesn’t discourage having a beer with lunch. They don’t know it is 24 oz.

Thank you to Jack, the Trashy Eats reader who sent me a Hamburger Helper Microwave Single. The fact that the package says “Meat Included” is merit enough to review it. Hey, if it’s good enough for the astronauts, it’s good enough for Trashy Eats.
