The Grocery Challenge!
Imagine that you have... Trader Joe's, $45, half a mini-fridge, a microwave, and the need to feed yourself for a week.
Yes, imagine that you are an intern in Washington, D.C. scraping the bottom of the olde stipend. Why Trader Joe's? It's the closest grocery store other than the weird Safeway in the Watergate, and you're a Serious Eater (duh!)
Your reserves: half a cup of granola, a banana, half a jar of peanut butter, a relatively untouched jar of almond butter, strawberry and cherry jam, mustard, three slices of cheddar cheese, a gnu bar, three greek yogurts, lemon juice, and salt.
The stipulations: Nothing too smelly (roommate and co-workers!) No shell fish or bacon. Must somehow create 21 meals- breakfast can be minimal- and a few snacks.
What would you do?
