week 21 – menus and shopping list

This week we start with a roasted chicken and make three meals with it. A great money stretcher, I have found so many good deals on whole chickens. I can buy a frozen one at a national chain fore 85 cents a pound. The chicken tortilla soup is so good on a winters evening. Debone the left over chicken for the bones. Simmer them for 5 hours to make a great base for the soup.
