Some frugal shopping and the generous gift of a friend (thank you Canice!) and I was set.
Pork with Spiced Italian Fruits, Sauteed Spinach and Roasted mashed Acorn Squash. Total Bill: $7.02
Cheap And Easy Pork
3 pork chops of indeterminate origin
Salt
Pepper
Flour
Oil
Pound pork chops down to 1/2cm thickness (just under ¼”). Season with Salt and pepper, dust with flour. Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Quickly fry pork chops (3 minutes, maybe 5. Use your instincts). Serve with either a pan sauce or a chutney/relish.
If I didn’t have the fruit, I would have deglazed the pan with wine, added some parsley, capers and butter and spooned it over the pork.

For a poverty meal it sure looks tasty. The simplest foods can be the most comforting...
poverty? A king should dine so fine! A magic collection of taste texture and scents.
That's one of the joys in life ~ when you can make even the most inexpensive foods taste good.
Of course, there was a time in my life were I was lucky to have $0.70 to spend on food ~ so this isn't true poverty cooking.
very nice use of resources... it's meals like that that make me glad it's fall...
