This week is a minimal shopping week. I am planning from the fridge, freezer and pantry with no blank spots for eating out. Next week I am going to work on creating a menu that creates lots of meals to freeze to aide in our quest to be dining-out-free for the month of February.
Sunday – Super Bowl Party - buffalo wings, dino chicken, carrots & celery w/ blue cheese dressing, potato chips & onion dip
Monday – spinach & bacon egg casserole, salad with blue cheese
Tuesday – crockpot Chicken cacciatore, whole wheat flax spaghetti
Crockpot Chicken Cacciatore

INGREDIENTS
* 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

* 2 green bell pepper, seeded and cubed - mixed peppers from freezer
* 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
* 1 onion, finely diced
* 2 tablespoons minced garlic

1. Put the chicken in the slow cooker. Top with the spaghetti sauce, green bell peppers, mushrooms, onion, and garlic.
2. Cover, and cook on Low for 7 to 9 hours.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great week! My family has been making a chicken cacciatore recipe in the crockpot for YEARS and it is always well received, I hope you enjoy it as well!
ReplyDeleteWe also are cooking from our freezer & pantry this month! Good luck with your goals!
Best,
Sarah
I will need to try the crockpot cacciatore. I really like using my crockpot but I think I only have about three recipes. Must expand my repertoire! Thanks for visiting my blog, and have a good week!

You have planned thoroughly this week. I like the sound of the granola bars and might have to give them a try, for the school lunch boxes.
