Eating Well and Sticking to the Budget

Food Issues with Kids when Traveling in Mexico.
Different Foods can be a real challenge.
Luckily cereal can help bridge the gap as you introduce new food groups. 

Our diet consisted of  Fresh O.J.  (10 for about $10 pesos)
*See O.J. story bottom
Bottled Water
Cereal/w/milk and fruit
Ham Sandwiches(mayo/ mustard ) on Whole Wheat -Pan Intergral
French Toast
Quesidillias w/ Oaxacan Cheese (salsa/tomato)
Fish-Prawns-Crab
Peanut Butter, Jam Sandwich on Pan Intergral
Chicken, Rice, Macroni Salad, Tortillias and Green Salsa (I Love it! but Not Angel-too hot!)
Pizza
Melon, Watermelon, Bananas, Strawberries, Plums, Mandarins, Oranges
Chocolate Milk(Cold) this was a special treat from the store because you have no fridge

What? How do I survive with out a fridge?
With a cooler and ice!
Ice can add up though and you do have food waste, so it takes diligence, if you can make a deal to use someones fridge then you will have it made. Or if you can fill a couple of the metal Jumex juice cans and then put the in the friends freezer and switch them every day, this can work really well.

Cooking- the first year we bought a little stove top with 2 burners and juicer and blender, but this used a lot of electricity and the owner where we stayed didn't like it. So the second year we made different arrangements.  We tried to eat only one hot meal a day using our friends kitchen, that way we were not in their space to much and kept our costs down by not eating out.
