Start Here: About Don't Need Much Money

Don't Need Much Money is exactly what it sounds like: a site about needing less, so you have more. More time. More freedom. More room to actually live. The idea is simple. The less money you need to survive, the more time you have to thrive. Lower your living costs, live a healthy lifestyle focused on longevity and mobility, stay out of debt, and build a little savings, and you buy yourself something far more valuable than money: time. Time to do what you actually love, spend with people you care about, and put toward things that matter. This site is my own real life running that experiment. Most of what you'll find here are recipes and day-to-day habits. They aren't filler posts, it's intentional. Cooking from scratch, buying smart, wasting less, eating well, and staying healhty, fit, and limber all without spending much are some of the most direct ways I practice this philosophy day to day.

Lunch Toast #3: Roasted Red Peppers, Hummus, Sauerkraut, Balsamic Vinegar

This one rounds out the trifecta of lunch toast. All you need is a jar of roasted red peppers, a few tablespoons of hummus, a scoop of sauerkraut, and balsamic vinegar to drizzle on top. 

My favorite place for jarred roasted red peppers is Trader Joes. They have the best price at only $2.99 (as of the time of writing this) and there are typically two large red peppers stuffed inside. All I need for a single lunch portion is one of them, so I save the other red pepper for another lunch later in the week.

My favorite hummus is Costco's prepacked single serving hummus. I've written about this hummus before so check out that post for more detail. I haven't seen anything that competes with it as far as price, convenience, and flavor.

Then the topping combo of sauerkraut and balsamic vinegar packs a puckering punch but is so good. it's what makes this dish so craveable and keeps you coming back for another bite. It's like that first time trying a back of salt and vinegar potato chips where it seems over the top vinegary, but then your pallet settles down and is ready for more.

This combo is definitely worth trying.
