For some reason, chicken-fried steak with cream gravy popped into my head yesterday and try as I might I couldn't shake it out. It is one of those dishes that just doesn't seem to travel well at all - perhaps because people try to fiddle with it or 'improve' it. I looked up the recipes online - there are thousands of them - and went with one that was the simplest.
It worked out pretty well, though the skillet temperature was an issue but one that I can fix next time. The cream gravy was creamy and peppery. I served it with a fried egg and home fries - fried cubed potatoes.
It was so filling that - apart from breakfast - we ate nothing else that day except fruit.
I know the pic and presentation aren't the best, but it was very tasty, believe me!
FOOD COSTS:
Steak $ 7.35
Potatoes $ 1.36
Eggs $ 2.69
Saturday total: $ 11.40
Total for the week: $ 168.64
VERDICT:
I think this is not a bad effort. we had quite a good variety of fruit, meat, vegetables, bread and inferior yoghurt, ate out a couple of times, and shopped at a variety of places. Next up is to plan a weekly meal menu ...!
