week 15 – menus and shopping list

This week I found I still had some frozen fish fillets in the freezer along with left over tortillas so I made some fish tacos. I really enjoy these even more so than chicken and beef which I usually think of first for tacos. Making your own pico de gallo allows you to adjust the tacos to your own personal taste. At a national chain this week I found a great buy on pork chops and I am starting and ending the week with two different flavors for them. A great roast chicken that I find at 89 cents a pound is back on the menu along with and roasted vegetables of your choice. This time we roast the chicken with some garlic for a nice added flavor. Quiche is great for both breakfast and lunch. It reheats nicely in the microwave. Just don’t over do it. The chicken salad was made with left over celery and dried cranberries from thanksgiving.
