So, I'm trying to keep the cost of meals to approximately $1 a serving. My own version of the Food Stamp Challenge. Last night I boiled potatoes and them served them with butter and salt and pepper, heated up frozen broccoli, and made a lettuce salad with a few tomatoes, croutons I found in the pantry, and carrots and then drizzled on some bottled dressing. Cost less than $1 a plate. The meat eaters had roasted chicken thighs. That added about another $1 per plate. But still very reasonable. It was delicious and pretty. There were potatoes and broccoli left over which I took for my lunch today.
Romaine lettuce - one bunch (3 to a package) approx. $.70
Other chopped vegetables and drizzle of bottled dressing. $.30
Served 4 -- About a quarter a serving
Bag of frozen broccoli - approx. $1
Served 4 -- About a quarter a serving
Potatoes - approx $1
Served 4 -- About a quarter a servings
Big beautiful plate of food for about 75 cents.
