So today we are joining the Slow Foods USA $5 Challenge, where we are asked to prepare a tasty meal using as many local ingredients as possible for $5 per person (which is about the price of a fast food meal). We are having friends over, and are looking forward to sharing the meal with them. After purchasing everything we needed, we are coming in at a little over $4.50 per person - not including wine :) The teenager is having his own under $5 meal since our tastes run a little exotic for him. Here are the menus; we'll let you know how it goes...
Menu #1:
Bay scallop ceviche on cucumber slices
Chili-cheese enchiladas with mole
Zucchini frittercakes
Apple Crisp
Menu #2:
Panko-breaded chicken fingers
Buttered pasta shells
Organic seedless red grapes
Organic chocolate chip cookies
