[quote=Anonymous]Use up vegetables in a stir fry with rice, serve with a fried egg on top for protein. Breakfast for dinner 1x/week: eggs, toast, and fruit/veg.

I shop at whole foods, and buy mostly organic. Get the 5 lb bag of organic carrots for just under $5. Raw carrots are healthy, easy snacks. Chop into carrot sticks and sautee until brown, or roast them. Add them to soups and stews.

Big bunch of organic kale for $2.79 would make 3-4 salads for you and DD. Chop kale and make dressing with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Make sure it's coated. Then add chopped apple, raisins or other dried fruit, sunflower seeds or nuts. Can add cheese or protein too.

Roast a whole chicken. Can get an organic whole chicken for $10, then have roast chicken with roast vegetables 2x. Boil carcass to make soup, add carrots, celery, pasta, and chicken. Freeze the rest of the chicken and half the soup to have an easy dinner another time. Use rest of frozen chicken for rice and bean burritos, chicken chili, etc. These meals will stretch the meat and beans add protein too. GL.[/quote]
