Bean and Vegetable Soup, Salad, Baked Potatoes- frugal lunch


What's odd about this picture? Well, nothing to the average onlooker but I know a secret..... The kids made this meal! Yes, for real.
Some days, we have "kitchen class". On those days, the kitchen jobs and menu items are divided accordingly by age and skill level.
I would have taken a picture, but these guys get a a little bashful about that sort of thing.
The soup was made from a small bag of mixed beans that we discovered in the back of the 'beans and noodles cabinet'. They then added onions, celery, carrots, garlic, and seasonings.
They baked potatoes and set out grated cheddar cheese and bacon bits for toppings and served with a small lettuce salad.
They also made the tea that you see here and one of them made frozen juice and fruit pops for their sweet-treat. (ummm, banana-strawberry nectar and pineapple, I think!
***The total cost of the meal was about $1.50 to feed all 6! Good deal!
