No Meat Monday!

in #food5 years ago (edited)

Haven't done one of these in a few weeks, but recently I saw a post going on and on about how "privileged" Vegans are to be able to live their extremely expensive lifestyle.

So, tonight I made this incredibly healthy, super delicious meal! Mostly because I'm petty A/F and wanted to prove them wrong. 😘

First off, what's in the burrito?! Super simple. Red beans, black beans, rice, corn, tumeric, bell peppers and paprika.

The beans, rice, spices and pepers were pre-packaged for convenience, so it cost me $3.48, the can of corn was an additional $0.80.

Flour tortillas, we used half the package $1.09.

What's in the salad?

1 mango, $1.50

1 Zucchini $1.29

Half a bag of lettuce, $1.32

Walnuts, best guess we used about $0.25 worth of the bag?

Raspberry vinnegrette, again about $0.25?

Wash everything, chop, mix, top with walnuts, done!

All together we are at $8.48 for a dinner that fed all four of us. Sparrow and Inari both ate a second burrito and Willow had 3 servings of the salad, AND there are left overs to take beans and rice to work with me for lunch tomorrow.

Total cost per person $2.12.

Totally costs a TON to feed people a vegan meal! Yes, that was sarcasm.

This was super easy, super fast and super yummy! Give it a try!

The burrito must have been super delicious and the salad too looks very tasty. A wholesome meal. Being vegan is good and healthy practice.

Yum! Sounds so good!! Nice job mama! On th3 delish meal and leftovers for your family. And, for proving your pint so plainly! Haha i hope you feel satisfied with your efforts 💜❤💙

That looks super delicious!💜
I don't get why people have to judge other people's diets. 🤷‍♀️

Great post @hickorymack, you make such a good point about being able to eat veggie/vegan on a budget. Of course there are overpriced vegan prepackaged foods but same goes for meat based foods. It’s about how savvy you are at the shop. Makes me roll my eyes so much when people tell me I must spend loads on food as a vegetarian! Couldn’t be more untrue :)
