Lunch
We decided to move the lettuce cup to a Kaiser roll and make a loose meat ‘burger’ with tomato, pickled beetroot and cheese. It turned out surprisingly well, with a lot of flavor from the ground beef.
- The Kaiser roll is 50c each
- The beef was $9.91 but we less than half of a half, or $1.24 per serve
- A shared tomato is 30c
- Lettuce is 20c per serve
- The baby peeled beets were $1.99, or 35c per serve
- 12 slices of yoghurt cheese are $4.79 or 40c per serve.
Lunch today was a really tasty burger for $2.99 per serve.
Dinner
Sockeye salmon on a bed of asparagus cooked in a mustard cream sauce “en papillote” (or in a paper parcel). This is a tasty meal but takes longer than expected to cook because of the foil barrier. We served on
- Generous sockeye salmon fillets were $8.63 or $4.31 per serve
- Asparagus spears were $3.99 or $2.00 per serve
- Cream was $2.49 for a pint, or 42c per serve
- Mustard adds 40c per serve
- Steamed lentils are $2.99 for the pouch at Trader Joe’s and we used half, or 75c per serve.
Although slow to cook, this is a great way to prepare salmon for $7.88 per serve.
