If you can afford to buy a loin roast (if you're eating meat, that is), buy them on sale, trim the fat and freeze it for adding a little oil or flavor to a meal (potatoes work well), and slice the roast into pork chops.

Pork, rice, and veg is a great meal. If you have a rice cooker, try adding veggies on top of the rice and use a little stock and season in place of some of the water.
