To save on meals and meal planning there's a great collection of recipes with the title: A Man, A Can, A Plan. It usually comes complete with a can opener as well. The nutritional make-up of the recipes is listed, too.
I purchased this for my son when he was a teen in an apt. in college. He was thrilled. Didn't realize that almost each and every recipe requires alcohol. Perfect gift for an underage teen (sarcasm).
