Hey campers -
In the spirit of our ongoing economic recession, it's time for another installment of fast, easy, cheap & healthy.
You've come home, have to make dinner for the family. For the about the price of a burger, fries & a soda, what can you come up with?
I'll offer grilled chicken caesar. Feeds three for under $7.
Tasty, nutritious & takes about 20 minutes.
3.00 chicken (a little over 3/4 lb, more than enough protein for 3)
2.00 lettuce (2 romaine hearts)
0.25 parmesan
0.50 anchovies (½ tin)
0.05 pepper
0.15 1 egg yolk
0.25 olive oil
0.70 small lemon / ½ large lemon
You want fries wit dat?
Okay -- a cup of cooked cous cous will add 30¢ or so to the total.
Breakfast is gonna be steel-cut oats.
½ cup (raw) is enough for 3-4, costs a whopping 30¢ for Trader Joe's.
Cooked with half an apple doubles the cost. Adding a handful of berries will bring it up to a dollar/bowl or so, but with a whack more taste & nutrition.
Okay -- who's got lunch?
