What can be done with $6.00? How many people can you feed? How many meals can you make? Take a journey with me through the last two dinners I fixed and find out.
I started with what I already had in our little kitchen, which I have to say, once again wasn't much. Butter, six potatoes, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese, that's it, that's all there was. Our super shopper Marilyn went to the store and found the most beautiful whole chicken on sale for $1.29 and a loaf of bread for 99 cents. Yes, that's correct, there is no typo here, she found that chicken for a little over a buck. Jeff picked up a bunch of carrots for 99 cents and we were off and rolling. Out of that and the other ingredients as listed above I was able to make an awesome Chicken Stew that fed five people.
The next day was just as great. I, of course, saved the chicken stock and deboned the rest of the chicken from the stew. Once again, shopping by the Starving Artist method we now added an onion and bag of short grain rice for a little less than $3.00. This with the chicken stock, leftover chicken and the parmesan cheese was turned into Chicken Parmesan Risotto! Three of us ate dinner (we probably ate enough to actually feed five or six, but we had been hard at it all day and thought we were literally starving), and we have leftovers!
Can't wait for the book to find out how we do this? Stay tuned, subscribe to your blog. We are getting ready to film our first Starving Artist Cooking show! Which we will be announcing here!!
