Wow! What a week it's been! Getting ready for Christmas and Santa in addition to just getting back into frugality! I didn't realize I had bought groceries for 2 weeks when I did last weeks grocery shopping, so this week, I was able to spend just a few dollars to get what we needed for meals this week. I took advantage and got a few things that will carry over for next week.

So, you will be happy to know that the 10 pounds of chicken leg quarters I got were only $5.90. I put all of the chicken in my crock pot on Thursday and cooked it on low all day. This was perfect because the girls and I decided to have leftovers instead of our chicken that night. So yesterday, I pulled all the chicken off the bone and saved the broth for later this week. We were able to split the chicken for 4 meals! I thought I was only going to get 3 out of it, but there was more than enough.

So, this weeks meals are:

Friday we had BBQ chicken with mashed potatoes.

Saturday I am making Crock pot chicken and rice burritos and homemade refried beans.

Sunday the girls asked for breakfast for dinner, so we are having sausage gravy over biscuits with eggs.

Monday I'll be making a pot of beans and cornbread

Tuesday we are having home made chicken and rice soup.

Wednesday we will do Sloppy Joes with French fries.

and Thursday is our spaghetti night.

Its sure to be a yummy week here!
