The Sunday Roast Menu Plan - Week 1
I'm starting an experiment: a menu plan based on the old-fashioned Sunday Roast. For the next few weeks, I'll cook a roast chicken on Sunday and use the leftovers to make meals for the rest of the week. This should make menu planning and cooking easier...and more frugal!
Sunday - Brined & Roasted Whole Chicken, Sauteed Broccoli
Monday - Pasta al Forno with Chicken
Slice off some of the chicken breast and thighs for the casserole.
Tuesday - Chicken and Biscuits, Sweet Potato Fries
Slice off rest of breast and thigh meat for tomorrow's meal, pull off all the last bits of meat for the Pot Pie, make broth and use for tonight's pot pie and tomorrow's soup.
Wednesday - Crockpot Italian Wedding Soup, Bread
Use broth and rest of the chicken breast and thigh for the soup. If I have plenty of meat, I'm going to make a double batch of this. Instead of meatballs, I'm probably going to cook up some breakfast sausage links that I already have on hand and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Thursday - Leftovers "Buffet"
Friday - Homemade Pizza
Saturday - Hubby's Night to Make Dinner! Don't you love that?
