week 16 – menus and shopping list

This week we found a good buy on both a pork roast and a whole chicken at 69 cents a pound. Find some root vegetables that you like, even a good squash works well when the oven is on and you are roasting a chicken. This meal is different every time I make it because I never use the same vegetable combination. It is good to use up what you have in your refrigerator. Make it your own. We use some of the chicken in a easy to do chicken and rice  (and broccoli) bake. I buy my organic broccoli frozen and in a big package that keeps the cost down on a weekly basis. Mid week we have a simple easy to do fritata on the menu. On Friday if you have some of the soups that we make on a weekly basis frozen take one out and warm it up with the grilled cheese sandwiches on Friday.
