This week is all about chicken and using what I have on hand.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve got a freezer full of chicken (bought on sale) that I’m trying to use up.\u00c2\u00a0 I still have lots of work to do on slashing our weekly grocery bills.\u00c2\u00a0 I spent $140 today on what seemed to be a shorter than usual list, and I didn’t buy any meat.\u00c2\u00a0 Frustrating. I think one of the big problems is that I wind up buying lots of stuff (processed, unfortunately) for The Littlest Apple in the hopes that he will eat some of it.\u00c2\u00a0 He never eats what we’re eating, and I never thought I’d be the mom who cooked separate for her kids.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve got a post in the works on our food battles with The Littlest Apple…but for now, here’s the plan for this week (for the grownups):<\/p>\n
