Tuna mix included green olives, onion, pepperoncini, jalapeno, mayo, mustard. The bread is pumpernickel rye that I crusted with cotija cheese. For the cheese I went with smoked cheddar.
Was it tasty? Yes. The extra crunch from the cheese crust was amazing. I gotta use up this cotija before it goes bad and it is a perfect parmesan substitute for lots of things.
Cost was about $5.25 per person.
I'm in a Facebook cooking group and they do a theme challenge each month. April is Depression Era or Frugal. So I decided to go as cheap and gourmet as possible. Soldiers and eggs with dead nettle pesto.
Homemade: bread, butter Home raised: goose eggs Home foraged: pecans, dead nettles, wild garlic
I made a soft skin and a hard skin loaf because my wife likes a softer crust.
Paid for: Salt, pepper, EVOO, flour, yeast, heavy cream. Cost per person: $1.13
I had to throw together the pasta real quick when I realized I had no mashed potatoes (well, no milk) which was the plan
Home made bread. The omelet filling is the leftover taco filling from last week and some smoked cheddar. Mixed into the egg is some chopped up giardiniera so there is a bit of acid to balance the heavy load. I thought I over cooked it but it was perfect. It was kind of amazing.
Cost: $2 per person.
Peasant food. Pollo e Patate. A bed of potatoes and onions tossed in olive oil and salt and pepper with chicken on top all roasted until the chicken juices cook the potatoes.
I don't make this for the chicken. I make it for the potatoes with all that chicken juice tastiness. Though the crispy chicken skin is pretty good too.
I grew up on a variant of this where it's served on a bed of spaghetti and peas are added to the potatoes in the last few minutes. A double starch feast.
Cost: $1.87 per person.
The kitchen is working again after $3500 in plumbing issues. I went through my food stocks and just started grabbing things for dinner. Ended up with crunchy scrambled egg tacos with provolone and an olive salad topping as a salsa. A can of black beans, some taco seasoning and butter turn into refried beans.
I would definitely chop my own olives next time instead of using pre-made olive salad because there was too much oil. But they were tasty.
Cost is something like $2.50 a person because my eggs are freeish.
Although it's not Friday yet, we made this simple yet delicious fish.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Peel the potatoes, cut into equal pieces and cook them in plenty of water with salt, if necessary, for 20 min until tender. Meanwhile, cook the carrots for 8 min. During the last 2 min, add the snow peas. Drain in a colander and rinse briefly under cold running water.
Cut the cod fillet into 4 pieces. Put the breadcrumbs in a deep dish. Beat the eggs in a second plate.
Sprinkle the cod fillets with the flour, pepper and salt. Pass the cod through the egg and breadcrumbs successively.
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the cod fillets in 8-10 min. until golden brown. Turn halfway through.
Finely chop the parsley. Drain the potatoes. Add the butter, milk, parsley and nutmeg and mash with the masher to a coarse puree. Season with pepper and salt, if necessary. Divide the cod fillet with the parsley puree and vegetables among the plates.

The pipes that make water leave our house have completely failed. I thought I had one problem. Turns out we have four problems. This means no cooking that requires dishes.
No idea how this will all be fixed or if I will be totally screwed. It's just a hair beyond my skill level but it's way beyond my physical or financial ability. There is only so long I can spend in a crawl space after breaking my back a few years ago. But a friend gave us some money for dinner. A local Mexican place has a new appetizer. Deep fried pork belly with guacamole. I'd make this at home if I could.
Thanks for listening to me vent. Enjoy your dinner no matter what it is.
It's been a few busy days of not cooking due to a full septic tank. Even today I was on my roof with a hose stuck in a vent pipe after filling in a very large hole with a shovel and my bad back.
Which means I didn't have time to make the quick pickled cabbage topping I wanted for this taco made from both beef and black beans. I was going to try this mix as a way to stretch ground beef. I found the results to be totally worth repeating.
One pound of browned ground beef to one can of drained/rinsed black beans added after the 5 tsp* of homemade taco seasoning is cooked into the browned ground beef.
After two days of corporate food this tasted amazing.
This recipe has become one of my personal favourites. It's quick and easy to prepare, yet also delicious and healthy. What's not to like?
Ingredients:
Directions:
Slice the onions into wafer-thin rings and place in a heatproof bowl.
Bring the vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan, pour over the onion, season with pepper, stir and leave until ready to use. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, remove the seeds with a teaspoon.
Halve the halves widthwise and slice the pieces lengthwise into thin slices. Slice the tomatoes into 1cm slices.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the falafel for 5 min. Turn halfway through.
Heat the tortilla wraps according to the instructions on the packaging. Spread the wraps with the hummus and divide the carrot julienne, tomato, cucumber, falafel and pickled onion over them.
Fold the sides of the wraps inwards and roll the wraps up from bottom to top. Halve diagonally and divide the wraps over plates.

Lemon cream pasta with a salad using some of the pickled redbud flowers I made.
Buried in the pasta is the one asparagus sprig I found in my garden today. Three years after starting from seeds and I finally got one asparagus. Hopefully I'll get more. Next time I'll spring for rhizones instead of seed.
The lettuce was a barter for goose eggs so it was free. Croutons were leftovers looking for a purpose. Redbuds practically free.
So not including the salad this was $2.52 a person.
Potatoes au graten and the half a rotisserie chicken leftover from the rolled tacos the other day.
Cost: $4.00 a person.
Found bags of this at our local hardware store(?) and were like "We have to try this!"
Despite the name, you mix the mix with beer. Yes, they have a pairing chart. For non-alcoholic options, you can use other sparkling beverages, for the cranberry/orange loaf I used a sparkling pear.

Came out super tasty. More dense than "bread" bread, almost a cornbread or banana bread texture. Which makes sense since there was no rising time.
Tuna melts on sourdough with avocado, pepperoncini and brined redbud flour buds. Side of both Nacho and Cool Ranch Doritos because reasons. The same reasons that two high people told me this was the best sandwich ever.
Cost: $4.14 per person.
