A Dollar A Day – Day 12

Breakfast: None $0

Lunch: Eggplant and tofu from last night $0

Dinner: Mushrooms with Capellini $1.50

The weather here was pretty bad – snow was almost gone but then suddenly we got a heavy snowstorm. When I got off work, I went to the grocery store because I was on my way to my boyfriend’s house and would like to make dinner before he got back. I could not find items that can fit under $1 budget for two people, and finally decided that a box of sliced Portabella mushrooms on sale for $1.50 was my best choice as far as price and health factor goes. I sauteed the mushrooms in butter, added some herbal salt, then add the cooked capellini and more butter. It was fairly good!

A Dollar A Day – Day 11

Breakfast: Nothing $0

Lunch: Lobster Ravioli from Day 9 $0

Dinner: Eggplant and seasoned tofu (bought a while ago) with rice. $0.75

I cut up the eggplant into cubes, pan fried it in oil, then add cubed tofu.  Very quick and easy!  I also had another half for tomorrow’s lunch.
