    INGREDIENTS
    RICE WHITE 0.26
    tvp 0.16
    flour 0.12
    potato 0.25
    Lentils 0.2
    TOTAL = 0.99
    Pierogies
    1 potato
    1/2 cup flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt or more
    For the pierogies, I used half cup of flour and about 1/4 teaspoon salt and mixed together. I made an indention in the flour mixture and poured in hot water and worked it in with a fork. Then added a little more hot water until I had enough. I then made a ball with dough. Put flour on area so dough wouldn't stick and kneaded a little more then rolled out. Cut out with a glass.
    cut potato in slices, boil in heavily salted water until tender. Drain, mash, add half teaspoon onion powder ( or more to taste), add pepper to taste. Check for salt level and add more if needed. fill pierogis with potato mixture and close.
    Boil pierogies in water until they float and then for 3 minutes longer. They are now done. can eat with sour cream or fried onions with paprika or just sprinkle with paprika and pepper.

    I don't think I have ever seen a better $1 food plan!

    That sure made a lot of food for the day. It shows that cooking from scratch pays off!

    When I was very poor, I routinely mixed tvp with an equal amount of hamburger to stretch it out. It worked well with any dish using ground beef.

    This is amazing. At first I thought was $1 a meal. I was shocked to find out it was a dollar for the whole day!

    That was an amazing use of $1! All of it looked delicious and filling. Just goes to show you what you can do with a little creative thinking! Great job

    I used to eat on less than 30 cents a day with foraging and fishng, but your creativity certainly can help in these high inflationary hard times as now.

    My husband is Ukrainian and he makes these. He loves cottage cheese as a filling too. You can serve with polish sausage,minced onions, sour cream. He always boils first and then fries in butter. You did a great job.

    I don’t salt my lentils until they’re done cooking or they never seem to soften. You make miracles happen with every meal!

    I'm impressed by how a small amount of bulk foods plus a potato made so much food! I always have frozen, store-bought pierogies in my freezer but watching you make them made me feel I could make my own from scratch.

    Hi Michelle! Thank you for your wonderful ideas! When I boil potatoes or vegetables, and they are done, I never waste the water. It is full of flavour and vitamins and I use it for making gravy or for soup, You can leave it in the fridge when you don't use it the same day. Many greetings from the Netherlands , I wish you a merry Christmas! Enny.

    Bravo ! You made wonderful food. A great teaching video. Thank you for sharing about the increase in food prices. I feel sad for anyone who is struggling to pay for food right now. I hope they feel they can go to a food bank. Everyone deserves to eat well. I made potato soup today and fried the potato skins to garnish the bowl and give a little crunch. I have put pierogies on my to make list. Please know I appreciate your hard work as a content creator. Thank you.

    Great ideas, in a pinch know that you mentioned it was vegetable short so not good for too many days a week. You are a wizard in the kitchen, thanks.

    What an incredible day of eating for $1! When I first saw your ingredients I thought it looked like far too little to work with, and yet you made some of the most amazing meals. Best challenge yet!

    I love the idea of treats from around the world. It always amazes me at how you are able to eat for an entire day with 1.00 dollar. It goes to show that perhaps I can do more to save money with the portion size that I have been using in my meals. Thanks for the inspiration.
