This week is a light shopping week, since I still have groceries from last week that I can use. The weather has been hot,  so a couple of slow cooker meals, and easy, short cooking time recipes are in order.

The item that I am planning around is ‘Free From’ whole chickens  – I have these on hand. Here is the plan so far:

Monday: Fusilli with Sausage, salad and veggies

Tuesday: Stir Fry (using veggies I have on hand), chicken and rice

Wednesday: Pasta Fagioli  (I use the Olive Garden version – it is really good!). I can do this in the slow cooker.

Thursday: Homemade Pizza (using frozen dough I made ahead of time)

Friday: Ziti Bake  – I have been using this recipe for years, and it is always a hit.

Saturday: leftovers

Sunday:  Most Tender Chicken, potatoes, veggie and salad – this method of cooking chicken really works well. I was worried it would be underdone – but it hasn’t ever not worked. Test with a meat thermometer just to be sure.

Stay cool everyone! Have a great week!
