2 servings
Purchased pre-made chicken cordon bleu (low sodium)
Broccoli spears
Homemade mashed potatoes
Chicken: $ 2.50
Broccoli: $ 1.00
Potatoes: $ 1.70 (made with sour cream for some umph, upping the cost a bit)
Total: $ 5.20, or $ 2.60 per serving
Not the least expensive, but healthy and fast! The potatoes boiled while the chicken baked. The broccoli heated up while I mashed the potatoes.
I love to cook, I really do, and I envy those people who can blog about their inexpensive gourmet meals they spent hours making. But I'm a divorced mother of a 21 year old. I work full time, take 10 credit hours with PSU, and rehearse for a renaissance faire on the weekends. Time is a precious commodity! Some day there will be wonderfully creative meals once more - this will probably happen in November, after the seasons are over for both of the faires in which I've been cast!
