She’s super creative with instant mashed potato’s and using them makes:

Potato patties

Black bean burgers

Shepard’s pie

I actually made some black bean burgers using the recipe and they came out great!

    I mean… if you’re on a super tight budget, like $1 a day, you will be getting most of your calories from:

    Beans

    Wheat

    Rice

    Potatoes

    Oils

    Then a couple cents a meal for flavor.

    So yeah, on a super tight budget if your only source of food is that $1, probably not. Instead of getting that dinky little can of veggies I would probably go for split peas personally, since they are pretty cheap and calorie dense. But mostly sharing cause I thought they were interesting vegan recipe bases that can be added too. The patties tasted good to me and the pie will be good with more veggies I think!

    Hopefully anyone who is on such a low budget will have access to a food pantry or some other resources to assist though.
