I Eat Lunch for $10 a Week. Here’s How I Keep It Simple

Eating at home is one area that has become so important to me, and this simple lunch recipe has been a part of that routine for a long time.

It costs about $10 a week, it tastes good, and it keeps me full (especially when I add rice and avocado).

If you want to see the full recipe in action, the YouTube video is here.

I use:

a block of extra-firm tofu
a bag of frozen vegetables
Maya Kaimal Madras curry simmer sauce

soy sauce/olive oil/garlic powder to season tofu
rice
half an avocado on the side, if I have it

If you have never cooked with tofu, don’t worry. It is easier than it looks. I bake it until it gets firm, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. It takes on whatever flavor you put it in, so the sauce does all the work for you.

Frozen vegetables make this meal fast. They are affordable, and you do not have to worry about anything going bad in the fridge.

The simmer sauce pulls everything together. It tastes like you spent time making a curry, even though lunch for the week didn’t take long.

If you are in a season where you want to eat better, spend less, or get back into a routine, start with something small. One simple recipe. One habit that fits your life.

If you make your own version, let me know. I love hearing what you create.
