Menu Plan Monday, February 22nd
For this week’s menu, I’m stretching a whole chicken into two meals. Making my husband’s favorite soup and making a family favorite chili hot dogs. While none of these meals can be call gourmet by any means they are yummy and easy to make.
Most of the meals I make are easy to prepare meals. I find if I plan easy to make dinners we eat out less and save more money. I think it’s been about 6 weeks since we last ate out. While we do occasionally enjoy eating out, it’s not something we do often. Making simple dinners makes eating at home so much easier for me to make dinner every night.
Here’s what’s cooking at our house this week,
Dinners
Crock Pot Whole Chicken, Roasted Vegetables, and Roasted Potatoes
Chicken and Bean Enchiladas with leftover chicken, Salad, and Chips and Salsa
Split Pea Soup, Butter Dips, and Fruit
Cheeseburger Macaroni Skillet, Salad, and Fruit

Way to stretch that chicken into two meals. 🙂 We don’t eat out often, either, but today was an exception. We ate pizza and breadsticks from Pizza Hut because two of my boys had BookIT! coupons to use for reading. And whenever they use their coupons, I always order food for the rest of us.
How nice that the kids can earn coupons for reading! Sounds like a fun time out. 🙂
I wish I could say that we don’t eat out that often, but it really is one thing that we love to do. I’d say we eat out maybe twice a week…usually on Friday or Saturday night and then after church on Sundays.
Your menu sounds delicious, as always 🙂
