Creating a Champagne Life on a Beer Budget

September 17, 2015

$50 fortnight Week1 – Day 5 and Week 3 – Day 5

$50 Fortnight Week 1 – Day 5

Breakfast
Souffle Omelette
I really enjoy souffle omelettes. The fluffiness of the eggy mixture coupled with a bit of cheese and veges is just a joy to start the day with 🙂  It just seems so much more than 1 egg.

Lunch
Quiche.
If I had given this day’s meal plan more thought, I would not have quiche after having eggs for breakfast.

Dinner 
“Tex Mex Rice Slice”
I invented this combination a week or so ago when I discovered the range of rice and pasta sachets in Woolworths.  One of the rice varieties is Mexican Rice.   I loved the idea of having beef with it, but Mince is expensive from the supermarket so I did not think I was going to be able to do this until I could build up a stockpile.  Then I found the Meat Sauce. 🙂   So my Tex Mex Rice Slice was born.

Recipe (using the Mexican Rice sachet)
In a pot, make up the rice as per the instructions. 
Once the rice has finished cooking, allow to cool slightly.
Microwave or boil a cup of mixed veges.  Add to the cooked rice along with
1/2 cup or so of meat sauce.
Add in 2 eggs which have been lightly beaten.
Mix well and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees C for 15-20 minutes. 
or until well set.
Allow to cool a little before cutting and serving with salad.

OR
Recipe  ( using plain white rice and a sachet of Taco Seasoning)
In a pot, melt 2 teaspoons of butter, add rice and stir until the rice is well coated in butter.
Add 1/2 packet of  Taco Seasoning mix stir well to combine all.
Add 300ml of water and bring to the boil.  Cover and simmer until the rice is cooked.

Once the rice has finished cooking, allow to cool slightly.
Microwave or boil a cup of mixed veges.  Add to the cooked rice along with
1/2 cup or so of meat sauce.
Add in 2 eggs which have been lightly beaten.
Mix well and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees C for 15-20 minutes. 
or until well set.
Allow to cool a little before cutting and serving with salad.

I am going to make this again with brown rice and minced beef.  It would be really lovely served with avocado and a good dollop of sour cream.





$25 Menu Week 3  – Day 5

Don’t Dismiss 2020 as a “Wasted” Year.

As we wrap up 2020, I have seen much discussion given to the idea of “Thank goodness this year is OVER- bring on 2021” However, I prefer to ponder on the 2020 I have had and acknowledge the things I have been most grateful for. Firstly, is the tremendous relief that my immediate friends and…

For me, December is a planning month (along with June).For the most part, I have gift shopping sorted well…

    Hi MintedLife.
    Yes homemade quiche 🙂

    I make quiche often and sort of just make it up as I go along.
    I made this for this blog back in week 2 on Sunday. The method I used was….

    Vegetable Quiche
    In a single serve pie dish, place one piece of bread buttered on both sides.
    Dice onion, carrot and broccoli into very small pieces and either steam. boil or microwave until just tender.
    Break one egg into a cup and add enough milk to bring the volume to 1/2 cup, mix well.
    In a jug, stir well to combine the vegetables, egg mix and 1 slice of cheese ( crumbled ).
    Pour over the bread and bake in a 180 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until set.

    I was really happy with the bread as a base. I have made it a again with this method and even the Man of the House has given it a thumbs up 🙂
