We visited a chicken farm today. Free range, chemical free, local and all that. Like to see where our food comes from. I think 'free range' can be a bit of a loosely-used term. It was still chickens sitting in a big shed being fed grain. They did have access to plenty of grass and herbs outside however, which apparently they like to get stuck into in the early mornings and late afternoons (we visited at hot midday and they were all in the shed). The upside was that I bought 5 kgs of chicken legs for $8. Bargain. There would have to be 8 meals in that. There were a few breasts in there too (I prefer boney bits) so I chopped one up and fried it in coconut oil with an onion, and put it on the pizza base I had removed from the freezer earlier. I had also spread some peanut butter on the base (great tip from a friend), and threw on a few sliced zuccs, celery, some olives, cheese on top. Even little person (4yo) liked it. It was just the two of us today, so that pizza, which would have easily cost $22 from a shop, cost us about $2. Tasted better too...
Lunch was leftovers, won't bore you with the details. Cost factored into previous meal.
Little person was being fussy, so I made some stewed apple and poured plenty of cream on top. Only took about 5 mins to make. Probably cost $1. We're cheap to feed today!!
