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!
