Meal Plan Monday

In an effort to live a more simple and frugal life, I realized I need to get back to meal planning. It truly does save lots of time, headache and money! 

We have a WHOLE freezer full of organic, free-range meat to use up from our Meat CSA so we need to get a cookin'!

Here's what's on the menu

Monday- Ground beef soft tacos

Tuesday- Cheeseburgers on the grill

                Cole Slaw

Wednesday- Eating out w/ friends

Thursday- Crock pot roast Chicken and potatoes

Friday- Leftovers

Usually we have TONS of leftovers as it's just the two of us eating (Levi wishes!), and most meal recipes are for 4+, so Friday and Saturday and even Sunday is usually various leftovers from the week!

Here's our recipe for Crock pot Roast Chicken....it's super easy!!

You'll need:

4-5 lb. Chicken

Olive oil

Various spices: salt, pepper, paprika, sage, parsley, Old Bay (you can really use what you like!)

Directions:

Rub the chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle selected spices all over chicken. Rub in the spices.

Place in crockpot set on LOW for 8 hours.

Cut up veggies you prefer (we will do potatoes) and arrange around the chicken.

8 hours later...dinner is ready!!

Super easy!

We use the leftover meat for various other dishes... chicken pot pie, chicken enchiladas chicken tacos, etc.

Happy Eating!
