"Gourmet meals for less than $5.00..." 'Obama Da dog'


This plate of food could cost 19.95 or more in a restaurant, you make
 this for under 4.00...


All these ingredients were purchased at Costco Kaua'i!

They say in Hawai'ian pidgin; "Broke da mout," and "Wop da jaw," if something is awesomely delicious, ono and mouth watering....

WE all love to eat and for many Americans it's starting to show on their waist, hips and buttocks.

I have decided to start a recipe blog of healthy meals for less than $5.00 that are not only healthy and hearty, but affordable and inexpensive. And with no snacking after dinner you can eat like this and lose weight or maintain your current weight.

Fillet Mignon with bacon wrapped around the sides.  Six fillet Mignon cost 15.99 at Kauai Costco.
That's 2.66 per fillet. I do not eat the bacon , my dog gets that part since she deos not keep kosher.

Costco potato salad for a huge 3lb container costs only $3.49. A  six once serving cost's .35 cents

Costco sweet and spicy bean salad with corn cost $6.00 for 64 oz's. A 2 once serving cost .20 cents

The sunflower sprouts are free, since I trade spinach in my garden for them and the pepperoncinis cost pennies.

I fillet...........................2.66
2 oz bean salad...           .20 each
6 oz potato salad......... .35
2-pepperoncinis.............. .08
I ear corn....................... 40
 Total...........................3.69

with a few spice s and minimum butter on the corn along with an ice cold crystal lite lemonade this whole dinner costs under $4.00 and less than 15 minutes to prepare with minimum dishes.

This same dish in a restaurant would easily sell for 19.95 or more...

Bon appetit, wop da jaw, broke da mout and enjoy!
