I am sort of cheating by dividing the total cost of the ingredients by 2.5 because I didn't even bother serving this to Nugget. He is really down on eggs lately. Serving him his own meal goes against the feeding philosophy I've adopted, but I had a bunch of other leftovers and he's been sick and I knew there was no way he'd eat this but I wanted to make it for myself so ... Anyway, there was enough left over after Trent and I were satiated that he could have eaten, so I think dividing by 2.5 was justified. Especially since I fed the leftovers to the dog. Who has been acting like we starve her lately and was most appreciative.
