Dinner Swap

September 5th, 2012 at 12:41 am

I ended up swapping tomorrow's dinner with today's since my nephews got invited out to my eldest neice's house for dinner. So I'll finish making the lasagne tomorrow. I did chop up all the onions and the garlic for it so that will be one less thing to do tomorrow. So tonight is pizza instead. Doesn't it look scrumptious?



It's been a while since I've costed out a meal so I thought I'd do that with the pizza. This is the same size as an XL specialty pizza from Round Table Pizza which costs $28.17.

$5.99 for nitrate free Canadian Bacon
$0.99 for 1/8 pound of pepperoni
$0.50 worth of leftover homemade spaghetti sauce
$0.00 for a quarter of a red bell pepper from the garden
$0.10 three slices of an onion, cut into strips
$2.00 worth of mozzarella cheese
--------
$9.58 total

Salad is free from the garden
Homemade garlic toast is 15 cents.
Milk is $1.50

The total of the meal is $11.23 or a savings of $16.94 for just the takeout pizza with no salad or drinks. And there will be half a pizza leftover for DS's lunches this week. Pretty good, methinks.

    You grown red bell peppers in your garden???? You are so lucky! Too cool on the coast of California (northern)...

    I did make pizza a few times while at my daughter's house. Granddaughter likes making her own. I used turkey pepperoni and cheese and olives for her. She doesn't like sauce so I let her rub olive oil on her little premade crust. She liked doing that. She is 4!

    How can you have any leftovers? We eat a whole pizza and some from a second. Big Grin

    HB--Well, I've managed to successfully grow 1 green and 2 red bell peppers this year. Normally we don't do very well with peppers, but this was such a hot summer we got a few. Next year I am going to try making a small hoophouse for the tomatoes and peppers.

    LF--We had leftovers because DH is in Alaska right now. If he were home there would be no leftovers.
