Week One, Day Three

Breakfast:
4 eggs (cooked the way you like them) on toast. Give more toast to the hungriest ones.
This meal costs about $.77 for all 4 people.


Lunches for kids:
Cheese Toast, (use about 1/2oz. cheese on each of 4 slices of bread. Toast under the broiler, let cool slightly and put in baggies.) cookies, 1/2C applesauce in reusable containers.
This meal costs about $.95 for both lunches.

Lunches for adults:
Leftover spaghetti and green beans. No cost.

Dinner: Chicken Soup with Veggies and bread.
1 whole chicken
1 can mixed veggies (drained)
1/2 pkg. egg noodles
4 chicken bouillion cubes.
Boil chicken (you can even start with it frozen if there isn't a package of giblets inside) in a pan with water barely covering the surface, sometime during the day. Remove from broth, debone chicken, and chop into bitesize pieces. Save about 1/2 of this chicken meat for tomorrow. Skim the top of the broth and add the bitesize pieces of chicken, the mixed veggies, the egg noodles, and the bouillioin cubes. Cook about 15 minutes until the egg noodles are nice and soft. Serve with bread and butter. (Not more than 1/2 loaf bread or 1/2 stick butter)
This meal costs about $3.20 and is very hearty! This will easily feed lunches the next day and maybe another meal on the weekend.

Total cost for the day: $4.92
