btw, those recipes ARE all hella cheap, provided you have the right gear.. that steak was ~18 bucks, but there is enough meat there to feed 4 people if you're all hungry and poor, or for like 10 steak sandwiches.. The decadence can easily be sliced into ~24 slices, and each one will seem huge, because it is so rich in texture and so flavorful.. the chocolate is the most expensive ingredient, i paid about 20 bucks for that whole cake. and of course the salsa is a bit pricey because of the tomatoes, but keep in mind, that's ~3lbs of salsa, which will give you bomb food with cheap chips for like a week.. that bowl went to a party with like 20 drunk people that all super chowed down, and we didn't even kill it..
If you cook at home, you can do shit on the cheap without eating crap like ramen

Hungarian mushroom soup:
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onions in the butter for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 more minutes. Stir in the dill, paprika, soy sauce and broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. In a separate small bowl, whisk the milk and flour together. Pour this into the soup and stir well to blend. Cover and simmer for 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Finally, stir in the salt, ground black pepper, lemon juice, parsley and sour cream. Mix together and allow to heat through over low heat, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not boil, eat that shit hot. Calorie restriction on the healthy and cheap side (it's super lazy, too):
Throw the tomatoes into a pot (don't bother draining them), let them cook. Throw in your leaf greens, followed by your frozen vegetables. Start some instant rice or whatever (I use Success Rice from Wal-Mart, when my rice cooker isn't full of brown). Let it all cook, cover it so the vegetables steam a little if you want to lose some nutrition and make it more soggy. Throw the flax and seasoning in there when it's sufficiently hot, stir, mix in your chosen starch and dump some into a bowl. I also tend to put some olive oil in there to activate the lycopene in the tomatoes. 200-250 calories of starch boils down to: 1 1/2 medium potatoes 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pasta 1 1/4 cups brown rice This will be about 600-650 calories per meal. If you eat it two to three times a day, it's around 1300-1950 calories total and super lazy. This surpasses RDA/DRI recommendations for every nutrient. The only things on the low side are zinc, selenium and vitamin E. It's a huge volume of food, for you fatties that want to lose weight and just stuff their faces all day. The recipe above yields one and a half servings. It's what I'd eat when I was weight training so many years ago (no, I'm not vegetarian, vegan or any of that other non-sense -- it just averaged out cheaper than other sources of protein/nutrition. My stomach doesn't tolerate whey isolate.)
