We ended up using my chicken breasts from the Kroger sale this week on Saturday afternoon to do grilled chicken sandwiches on whole wheat kaiser rolls and a green garden salad. We had one chicken breast left over, so I am going to shred it and put it into the Chicken Thai Curry Soup on Sunday afternoon for an easy dinner. This soup is so good and it is a meal in one pot — it has starch, veggies and the protein!
I still have quite a few of the organic potatoes in my crisper and I need to use them up this week. Plus I have a few peppers left from the garden, and about 3 dozen eggs from Aldi’s great $.49/dozen sale. So I am looking for something good to do. I came up with a Western Omelet, send me a recipe if you have a good one! My brain is fried tonight.
What about you, what is on your meal plan this week? Leave your ideas and recipes in a comment.

there was no form listed below your coupon swap announcement…..and no way to email you…..just wanted to let you know….it may be just on my computer b/c there was just a big blank space……
i’m guessing that due to the swap you are not going to have the class on Drugstore deals that you had mentioned on facebook….? i was hoping to attend so i’d love to know when the next one is that you have planned….
thanks,
susannah macmillan
ok, ignore my previous email….the form for the coupon swap just popped up…..
idea for leftover eggs – yummy quiche, a lady brought one to Sunday school yesterday and I was craving it so I used some spinach I got on sale at Kroger, the egg beaters I got on sale at publix, some mushrooms, green onions, green peppers, and cheese all baked in a deep dish pie shell. YUMMY!!!
Made 3 froze one – having leftovers for breakfast this morning!
