Today’s Simple Dish on a Budget ☺️

Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well! ☺️❤️🙏

Past 11 a.m., I went to the market to buy something for our viand. Since I’m on a tight budget, I only got a few items: a fish worth 50 pesos, six pieces of eggs for another 50 pesos, and lettuce for 20 pesos. That’s a total of 120 pesos, just a little more than $2.☺️ It may not seem like much, but I always try to stretch whatever I have, especially now that I mistakenly processed a withdrawal on Hive that I could have used for buying food. Sadly, that amount was gone, and it was truly my mistake.

When I got home, I started thinking about what I could do with the fish. In the end, I just decided to fry it. But before that, I remembered that my sister had bought some eggplants the other day. I thought of making an eggplant omelette.

First, I washed and boiled four pieces of eggplant. I chose boiling instead of grilling since it’s faster and easier for me. After boiling, I peeled them carefully and checked if there were any worm damages. Luckily, they were all good. Then I beat two eggs, added salt, pepper, and a little magic sarap for flavor. I dipped the boiled eggplants into the mixture and fried them until both sides were golden brown.

Once the omelette was done, I fried the five pieces of fish. While waiting for them to cook, I washed and cleaned the lettuce so everything would be ready to serve.

For lunch, I had one piece of fried fish, some eggplant omelette, and fresh lettuce on the side. I paired the lettuce and omelette with a simple dip of soy sauce and calamansi. I ate the lettuce first, then had my rice with fried fish and the same sauce. It was a humble but satisfying meal. ☺️

The best part is that the food I prepared wasn’t just for lunch, it’s also good enough for dinner and even breakfast the next day. For just 120 pesos, I was able to come up with a complete and filling meal that’s healthy and budget-friendly. ☺️

A super saver meal indeed! ☺️❤️

Have a Blessed Tuesday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖
