Karen's traveling so it's just Doris and I for dinner. Doris had a late nap so I had the luxury of making food while she was sleeping. We got these massive sweet potatoes from our CSA. When Doris was a baby she gobbled up sweet potatoes but now they are only okay to her. I thought I would give it a try anyway. I baked one very large sweet potato in our toaster oven at 350 degrees for about an hour. It was perfect inside. When Doris woke up, I sauteed a Quorn Chick'n Cutlet in a frying pan with a bit of oil. After it turned brown, I spread on BBQ sauce on each side and let it cook a bit before serving. Last night's leftover mac & cheese and broccoli were served as side dishes.
Doris ate a lot of mac & cheese and broccoli while "helping" me cook, so she didn't eat much for dinner. I told her about how she loved sweet potatoes as a baby to get her interested in the sweet potatoes, which certainly helped a bit. I thought it was a tasty meal and easy enough to prepare.
CSA veggies: $2
cutlets: $2
BBQ: 10 cents
Total: $4.10 ($2.05 per person) *
*Would be $5.10 ($1.07 per person) if Karen were home.
