Quinoa, asparagus and sweet potatoes are expensive! I did make 5 casseroles, to give one to Alicia Philly on Friday. I made four family portions of sweet potatoes and asparagus. The total cost was $39.41. Ouch!

ReplyDeleteYumm, yumm... This meal made my day!! those cookies rocked :)
ReplyDeleteChris says this was his favorite meal so far. I loved it too! Where did you get that Quinoa? I've never seen it with the husk still on. And don't worry about the cost...I'm going to weep when I add the cost for my latest pasta dish.
ReplyDeleteQuinoa was from Central Market bulk section. I chose the red quinoa over the other one because it was cheaper. Still organic, but $0.50 less per pound.
