Menu, Grocery List, Recipes Year 2 Week 31

This menu is full of some of my favorite dishes.  So much so, I actually printed this menu and took it to the store on Saturday.

See, I don’t always use the menus I provide here.  That would be convenient, but then I wouldn’t have all kinds of new recipes to share with you.  So I usually wing it at the grocery, buying common pantry ingredients with a few inspiration ingredients thrown in.  Then I invent new dishes.

I’ve got to say though, it was truly nice to be able to print and shop.  And I’ve found that I can easily alter the menu for something new, because most all of my recipes use common ingredients.  So even if I don’t make one of the meals, the foods can still be used in something else later.

We had the Italian Seasoned Salt Chicken on Sunday, but I didn’t have time to cook it in the slow cooker.  I popped it in the oven instead, for about 1 1/2 – 2 hours while we were at church.  It worked wonderfully.

On the menu, you get 6 dinners and 1 dessert, as always.  Serving suggestions are included in bold on the recipes and in curly brackets {} on the grocery list.

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

• Italian Seasoned Salt Chicken in the Slow Cooker, couscous, steamed green veggie
• Garlic Lime Tilapia, baked potatoes, salad
• Broccoli Tomato Tortellini Salad, garlic bread
• Chicago Style Pizza Pot Pie, salad
• Honey Hoisin Chicken in the slow Cooker, rice, steamed veggie
• Lentil Tacos, salad, chips & salsa
• Lemon Cheesecake Dessert
