Canadian Living, Jan 2014 - online here.
Very tasty, especially with goat cheese, but not very filling. Would be good with some chicken thrown in. Baby spinach works fine in place of the full-grown stuff (although it's probably more expensive).
About $3.54 per serving.

"Superfood" platter
From Canadian Living, Feb 2014. Surprisingly, not online. Maybe not yet posted.
The term "superfood" annoys the tar out of me - in this case the most prominent ingredients are quinoa, kale and chickpeas. Used red quinoa, since it was on hand, and red kale, since it was on special. Suspect this would be yummy (although no longer vegan) with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream to go with.
$2.24 per serving.

Hunter's chicken
From Canadian Living's Affordable Feasts cookbook - online here.
Substituted brown rice for the polenta, since in my total lack of familiarity with that dish I am not sure how well it keeps. Discovered that an egg slicer makes quick work of chopping mushrooms! Have not tasted it but Corey reports it's delicious.
$5.05/serving, though, if you don't count the strained tomatoes as a pantry staple (otherwise $4.38). Tsk.

Week 2.2
Well, with the additional infusion of some salad fixings and a steak (about $25 all told) Week 2.1 was pretty successful! Probably some takeout on Corey's end, but only one instance of cheating on mine.
Cooked so far for this week:
* Mushroom, spinach, and feta pasta
* "Superfood" platter (whatever, Canadian Living - kale, chickpeas, and quinoa)
* Hunter's chicken
* Rhubarb muffins (more expensive than usual - fancy winter rhubarb from holland - but I couldn't resist)
Still to cook:
* Turkey with black beans and orange sauce
Additional salad fixings may become necessary at work, but grocery tally so far:
Recipe fixings = $61.80
Non-recipe stuff = $84.89
----------------------------
$146.69

Quick beef bulgogi
From Canadian Living - online here.
Quick, flavourful, tender - a decent steak cut thin really shines here. About $3.28/serving, depending a little bit on the steak.

Week 2.1, redux
Well, I flunked out of my last round pretty badly, but now I'm broke, so that seems like a good time to reboot!
Got a boost from weekend chili from my mom. Otherwise, planned for the week:
Pork & green bean stir fry
Ginger salmon
Kale salad
Quick beef bulgogi
Groceries:
Recipe goods = $20.56
Non-recipe goods = $200.17
Total = $220.73
