People get $9 per person per day here in California from the Calfresh program for food, and cooksnap readers can eat and drink better with that plan than people who have to spend their allowance on prepared foods and drinks because they dont have kitchens.

Starting with the first payment of $800 per person every 3 months, this recipe plan allows you to add the staples you need, then the foods you enjoy, then any foods published in my recipes in here. I always post the cost of the recipe ingredients and the cost per person.

The one thing you need to get started is a hand food grinder, under $50, the first thing you do next is to save by buying twice as many staples as you need: wheat, rice, corn, beans, flour, lentils, potatoes, carrots. Should you run out of things, or eat more than anticipated, you wont go hungry.

I have posted a menu of recipes in here from people from Nicoya who live over 100 years eating this diet. The cost of these ingredients is well below the daily allowance of the Calfresh program, but you need a small garden plot.

Steps

Varies, see recipes

1

Plan seven different flour based breakfasts, seven fruit based lunches and seven protein based dinners for the week. Don’t make extra,don’t make leftovers, no waste, cook fresh every day. Grind for the week, bake for the week, sprout beans for the week, roast coffee for the week. See my recipes in here.
2

Make wine and beer for 3 months, takes 3 months till ready. Collect only reclosable bottles to use for wine and beer making. Boil bottles and caps to disinfect. See my recipes in here.
3

Save all glass jars with lids, clean, boil to disinfect and preserve fruits and vegetables when abundant and inexpensive in season. Our farmers market will sell any unsold excess fruits and vegetables in season at give away prices just before closing time if you ask. See my recipes in here.
4

Never use no stick pans, they release forever microplastics in food and environment, use cast iron.
5

Plan at least one elegant, multi course, sit down meal a day: hot or cold soup, fresh salad, main course, dessert, drinks, fresh baked bread. You deserve it.
6

Decorate your home windows with large flower pots that grow herbs, vegetables, sprouts and fruits year round.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
