Summary: How to be a budget Kosher gourmet

As somebody who's been there (in college, I dated a few guys who kept
kosher and shared cooking with a few vegetarians), melchadik (sp?) is
the way to go if you don't want to put a strain on your budget.  Food
such as Fettucine Alfredo, Cheese Enchiladas with (vegetarian) Refried
Beans (can be done easily with a toaster oven and a hot plate), pizza,
cheese lasagne, and other forms of pasta work well.  If you use dried
legumes, lentils and black-eyed peas (in that order) cook up the most
quickly and don't require pre-soaking.  Add a salad or some kind of
vegetable and you've got a balanced meal.

Kosher meats can get to be prohibitively expensive; besides, the selection
of desserts goes down if you're eating meat  :-) ...
