Another Frugal Lunch- from "cooking school"


This lunch had lots of helpers!
6 to be exact!

Some peeled potatoes for potato salad, the little ones chopped pickles for it, some sliced carrots into 'sticks', while I made Hummus for the bagel sandwiches.
Then they all worked together to make the smoothie!
This total meal cost was about:$4.75. To feed 7!


Their smoothie recipe:
1 very big apple
1 mango
3 very ripe bananas
8 oz of strawberries
3/4 cup my homemade yogurt
1/2 can pineapple and juice
2 cups of ice
3/4 cup sugar

Potato Salad:
8 potatoes (or amount just right for your family), peeled, chopped, boiled

3 boiled eggs (boil them with the pototoes for one less dirty pot)
3/4 cup chopped dill pickles (or enough to your liking, we like a lot)
3/4 cup Mayo like Hellman's
1/2 to 3/4 cup Mayo or salad dressing like Miracle Whip**
1/8 to 1/4 cup of mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Hummus:
I used Tammy's recipe at: http://tammysrecipes.com/hummus Her recipe was better than my old one! Except I did not have tahini but it was very good!
