You're talking about eating on $5.00 a day for 2 people including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Wow! I'm thinking rice, cooked wheat (porage in the Little Rascals), and tofu (from an oriental market).
So mabye the question should be:
What can I make for breakfast for two for under $5.00, that I can eat at lunch, and dinner too?
Eating the same thing everyday would be awful. But 16 different meals large enough for making 6 meals would be good. Maybe 5 would be well enough.
Here's mine:
Oriental Sausage and rice:
- 1 pound package of oriental sweet sausage
- 2 cups dry rice
In a large pot bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and sausage. Cook about 20 minutes until the rice is done. Then remove the sausage from the rice pot. Cut the sausage into thin 1/4" slivers. Mix the slivers of oriental sausage into the rice. Serve with a vegetable and soy sauce.
