GLOP (don’t ask)
1 onion
2 yellow squash
2 green zucchini
Carton baby Bellas sliced
1 pound turkey or whatever protein sliced into 2 inch strips
Good olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Sauté onion and mushrooms in olive oil until almost soft. Add zucchini and squash, cook that down. Add protein and cook until protein is done.
I put this over brown rice. It is low calorie, low fat, low sodium, high protein and low carbs. You can also add bok choy, throw it in a wok with veggie oil and add soy sauce. If you want to fatten it up a bit and gve it more flavor, add a pat or two of butter at the end.
Cost per serving including rice, about a buck fifty.
Sorry, this is not a normal recipe. However with work or lack of, and stuff, i been trying to stretch the dollar.
Next week, I will have something more palatable.
We have a family recipe also called glop... but ours is a means of using up leftovers. It goes as follows....
Any leftover meat, sliced into bite sized pieces.
Any cooked pasta.
Any leftover veggie.
Any “cream of” soup.
Combine and heat. You would be surprised at how well it works. Examples?
Turkey, green beans, Cream of chicken, spaghetti.
Hot dogs, peas, Cream of Tomato, egg noodles.
Roast beef, broccoli, cream of cheddar, farfale.
As you can see.... any combination will work. Make it delux glop by adding sour cream.
Your GLOP sounds good to me! My family is also on low cost dinners due to a significant drop in our monthy income last August due to a family death and unemployment. Last month I began trying to keep the total cost of our family dinners down to an average of $5 total for a for a family of 5 people.
Last month’s average was $5.50 per dinner, since we elected to splurge and get 2 family size Pizza’s from Papa Murphy’s one evening last month, and for the first three weeks of May we have an average cost of $4.41 per family dinner. It is pretty amazing how well a family can eat for $5.00 or less per meal.
