Sounds like my everyday life. Lol.

Probably a pasta dish with fresh tomatoes, lemon, basil and chicken. It’s a crowd pleaser and only takes 30 min. Then I can nap the other 90 min.

A big pot of beans, inexpensive, nutritious, and I can pocket the $18 left over.

Grilled chicken breasts, potatoes, fresh green beans sauteed with butter and sliced almonds, and a romaine and spring mix spinach salad with cucumber, tomato, and avocado, and sparkling cider. I am a careful shopper; drop the cider if it goes over budget.

pizzas at osteria's 2 large pies for $20
if i had to cook i'd probably make curry chicken and white rice if everyone likes a little spicy

Rice and black beans with curry powder, cumin and salt. If theres any money left ill throw in an onion.

Chili con carne. Onions, cheese and soda crackers on the side.

Sandwiches! Jam sandwiches all round.

Sirloin steak, potatoes and broccoli

Ramen
