What you can get for $15

The BC Farmer's Market Association has a program where they provide selected families with $15/week in coupons to use at the market. Yay! I thought I would feature some ideas that the $15 will get ya.
First, a photo of $15. That's lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, garlic, green onions, potatoes, baby carrots and a dozen eggs. I probably could have purchased more economical foods, but the garlic and carrots lured me with their siren song. I also got a lot more than 2 potatoes, but we eated them.


Potato Salad
4 good sized potatoes (4-5 lbs)
baby carrots
1/2 c mayo
1/4 c mustard
3 cloves of garlic
Green onions
Salt and pepper

Boil potatoes and chill overnight. Cut into bite-sized pieces and add carrots and any other tasty veggies from the garden. Radishes are very nice.
In a medium bowl, mix together mayo, mustard, garlic, green onions, salt and pepper. Toss with potatoes and add seasonings as needed. Top with devilled eggs because that way, you only bring 1 bowl to the picnic

For Devilled Eggs:
3 hard-boiled eggs
1 tbsp mayo
Salt and pepper
oregano
1 clove of garlic, minced
paprika
Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half, scoop out the yolks. Mash yolks with remaining ingredients except paprika. Put the yolk mixture back in the whites and sprinkle paprika over top.

Boi rates the dish 4/5. Needed salt but we were on a picnic which makes it a little hard to add.
