Hi, It was a busy day for me and I didnt have a clue as to what to cook for supper. I thought of grilled cheese and tomato soup, but needed more bread and didn’t feel like burning up a gallon of gas for one item at the store. After looking in the cupboard, I found a bag of Knorr Spanish Rice, I added a can of Mexican diced tomatoes to make it go a little farther. In the freezer was a baggie of deboned rotisserie chicken. I had shredded cheese, tortilla’s and sour cream on hand. I beleive I have enough for 4 meals. Total cost was probably less than $4. which comes to One Dollar per meal.
Although I have small kitchen and not a lot of cupboard space, I always stock up on easy to fix sides for these sorts of days and it is well worth it. There are so many people that do not cook and waste too much money eating out or having food delivered on a daily basis. I literally boiled water and warmed up some meat…. how hard is that?
Getting by, making do, and moving forward
