Week of May 18th - May 23rd

Bock! Bock! This week I'm celebrating the original white meat - CHICKEN! This is my attempt to display how two roast chickens can feed a family of five for DAYS on end and in various ways. So read on for a lovely ride ... c'mon, don't be Chicken!

Monday, May 18th - Roast Chicken, Zucchini, & Mashed Potatoes
**Don't forget to make broth with your carcasses! It's the ultimate!**

Tuesday, May 19th - Chicken Tortilla Soup
**So, you guys can figure this out on your own probably, but just in case -- #1 I'm halving the recipe since it serves 10 & #2 Replace chopped, leftover chicken (not all of it) for the 4 chicken breasts and add it toward the end. Personally, I'm putting all the "soup" ingredients in the crock pot around noon, adding the chicken around three and feeding my family by 5 p.m. due to a ball game! REMEMBER cooking is versatile when you know what you're doing!**

Wednesday, May 20th - Fire Roasted Tomato & Feta Pasta with Chicken **the recipe on Allrecipes uses shrimp, but my family would revolt & possibly kill me, so I opted to use chicken instead**

Thursday, May 21st - Buffalo Chicken Sliders

Friday, May 22nd - Out to Dinner

Saturday, May 23rd - Shorty's Diner
**although I may have to come up with something from the freezer instead because we may not have any leftovers!**

As my One year old would say, "Nummy! nummy! nummy! nummy!" For any of you neigh sayers out there - she's a baby & she eats everything we eat (unless it's too spicy - I alter some of that for her). She doesn't like everything, but I've been shocked by her favorites, which were beef stew and carne guisada - who knew?!

So, tap into your inner Pollo & get cooking!
