Week 2, Day 2

Usually on Mondays I don't make breakfast other than a hot cereal or eggs and toast because Paul already gets a late start on work and school owing to my Civil War class but he was just so cute and sweet this morning I couldn't say no so French toast it was.
We LOVE French toast. Paul would probably eat French toast 5 times a week without getting tired of it (and that's saying a lot). I especially love my recipe- it has flour in it and makes it taste better than just egg and milk on bread.
Since breakfast was so late, I quickly made Paul a peanut butter and honey sandwich ($0.30) and cut him some apples ($0.96) (which he didn't eat and will eat tomorrow) and sent him on his way. I didn't feel hungry until I was making dinner so there was no lunch for me... whoops.
Tonight for dinner I made Mulligatawny Soup. I made it for a couple reasons, one was that it had curry in it and Paul loves curry and the second was that it reminded me of "exotic" stories I used to escape in when I was little. I'm glad we tried it because it's delicious!
Here's what Mulligatawny Soup works out to:

1 small onion ($0.60)
2 stalks celery ($0.20)
1 carrot ($0.11)

Paul discovered the price of single carrots by accident when he didn't notice the random carrot in his cart- less calculating for me! :)
4 T Butter ($0.28)
1.5 T Flour ($0.01)
1/4 lb shredded chicken ($0.25)
4 C chicken broth ($0- free from cooking chicken)
1/2 apple ($0.24)
1/4 C rice ($0.03)
1/2 C half and half ($0.24)

Mulligatawny total: $1.96

Okay so it doesn't look THAT appetizing in my phone picture but those chunks of celery, carrot, and apple were SO yummy!

This is what today's total looks like:

Breakfast: $0.54
Lunch: $1.26
Dinner: $1.96

Day 2 total: $3.76
