Yesterday was national speghetti day........who dreams these things up?
We had shrimp stir fry with olive oil, red peppers, grape tomatoes and parmesean cheese over tomato speghetti.
It was fast. My granddaughter and I had fun throwing the bag of frozen shrimp on the floor to break it up. Since I am not allowed to bend at the waist, I threw and she handed it back to me, throwing it a few times in between. That was after we put the speghetti on the microwave to cook. We proceeded to read a while waiting to thaw and the speghetti to cook. Non passive time was really short.
You don't have to be into cooking three course meals for hours to scratch cook and save money on groceries. You also don't have to eat food from Mars that you can't pronounce, convince the family to eat, or isn't at a regular grocery store.
I write this blog to help people eat on four dollars a day. Actually, we eat on less than four dollars a day. I'm coming from, been there, done that. I was a single parent with almost no child support, and a low income. I didn't get help. Half my paycheck went to rent, the other half child care. We eked out other expenses from the little that was left. We didn't do it eating rocks or grains that cost eight dollars a pound.
Having a rich person teach you how to eat on four dollars a day is about like a person teaching you how to parent that has had no children. It looses some credibility. I'm a libra that was an accountant for years. Everything I read is tempered with a dose of is it logical and is it balanced!
Cheyenne. Beer bread is a real treat . It's simple. We always have the ingredients and it's quick. There is a mix at the dollar store, but honestly, it only takes four ingredients anyway. Bisquick, sugar, butter and beer. Quick if you only count actual time spent cooking. Passive cooking is the time when something cooks without needing your attention. Like putting somehing in a slow cooker and walking away.
We should fet ads tonight, back later.
