Low-Low Budget Dinner

[Tony R]

This is a dish my mother would make for us for breakfast or dinner. Back in the day we were low income. Not that right now it's good for me but sometimes doing a simple meal is a good thing. I show my kids what I ate growing up.
I have cousins and nephews that will only eat fast food or microwave meals only...that's another story this kids refuse to acknowledge their roots and heritage.

It starts with potatoes that I had left over from another cook

Added the egg and cooked them together

Some beans

Ready to eat

This is a humble meal and believe it or not I have another one that's even more low budget. Maybe one day I will post it.

That looks very good! I had many meals like that growing up.

looks good to me! I've made tacos out of plates w/those ingredients(potatoes, beans, egg and cheese). mix em up, toss on a tortilla and add hot sauce...great food anytime.

Humble beginnings teach our children what it's like to be without and to work for what you want. I respect humble beginnings and the success that comes from that.
Good post Tony!

Looks pretty tasty Tony!! I don't see anything low budget from here!

 

[Paul Kastner]

Love the cook.

 

[Hamilton Barnes]

Looks great with great taste!!

 

[John Solak]

Great looking meal, we have something similar to that for breakfast too sometimes. Some of the best meals are the cheap ones.

 

[Mike Coffman]

I don't consider it low budget. I consider it a deliciously creative way on using leftovers Tony!

 

[Todd NC]

Looks great. Your bean and your rice side dishes always look great.

 

[Bill Schultz]

Good Eats do not come with a budget, they come from the heart and creativeness of the Cook. You have both my friend. Now pass me a plate, please

 

[russ olin]

i like those kind of meals very tasty and something different

 

[Andy Beers]

Great lookin meal

 

[Pete in PG]

Good dinner!! Simple and inexpensive - yes. But great tasting and very satisfying! Nice job as always Tony and Maribel.

 

[Bob Correll]

That's some fine looking eats right there my friend!

No question about it, you're a great dad Tony!

 

[Dwain Pannell]

SWMBO and I are always calculating the cost of our meals. We find the ones under 5 bucks are some of the best. LOL. When you can BBQ a $40 brisket and get 10 meals out of it -- all different -- is what I'm talkin about! LOL

I've often thought we need a sub forum for leftovers. Where's the suggestion box around here? LOL

 

[Bob Mann]

That looks great Tony!
