Answer 6

I don't know what you have "around your house" so it is impossible for me to give you a recipe.  Lets say you have staples..........Make some rice, or baked potatoes.  Do you have cheese?  Black, red, or pinto beans? refried beans? if you have tortillas you can make rice and bean burritos, if you have hamburger and spices you can make tacos.  lots of things you can do with potatoes actually.

If you have five bucks go to the store and get stuff for bean burritos, a cheap and filling standby beans are a great source of protein and carbohydrates.  rice, refried beans, hot sauce, tortillas.  Cheers

1 1/2 C. Water

1 C. Rice

6 Pieces bacon

3 or 4 Eggs

Garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Bring water to a boil and add rice. Cook for 30 minutes. While rice is cooking, fry bacon. Save 1/2 of grease. Scramble eggs in bowl, add garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste. Add 2 tablespoons water to eggs and mix well. Fry egg mixture like a pancake. Fry rice, add chopped onion, chopped bacon and catsup. Cut up egg omelette and add rice. Stir in soy sauce. Serve hot.
