Today I found a challenge that was something I just had to try, making dinner for five dollars or less. Why five dollars? It's the price of an average fast-food value meal.
I know that I treated myself to a mocha and a cookie this week that cost more than that.
Dinner came in at $1.61 a person, plus I had a glass of wine that would work out to somewhere between $1.50-$2.00.
Zucchini stuffed with quinoa, corn, bell pepper, a touch of walnut, a few spices and topped with cheese. With a yogurt-basil dressing. So good...
And all organic, all local except for the quinoa (but was organic) which was purchased in the bulk section at the co-op. Time to make, less than an hour.
I think I can still afford a serving of strawberries for desert.
Berries won't be arround much longer. It's certainly autumn.
The fall crocus are here.
