It has been hot here in Iowa. Too hot to use the oven as it makes the a/c run more. I did a week of planning hot weather meals. Early in the week, I picked up a rotisserie chicken at Sams club and did our easy peasy Chicken Alfredo. Left over chicken was de-boned and in the freezer for quick meal another time. We use chicken mixed into a bag of Knorr Alfredo. I like to do 2 packs so there is enought for left overs for work the next day or so. There was bone in pork chops cooked on the stove top with baked potato in the microwave. On the same day, I put some frozen meatballs from the big box store in a small crock pot with bbq sause to have those cooked and ready to go. This paired well with more easy rice and noodle packets I try and buy on sale for a $1 or so. TIP: when on sale, buy many so have on hand as such an easy side and great for left overs for work. Although i do not do a weekly menu, I am always thawing out meat from the freezer and planning a few days in advance.
Getting by, making do, and moving forward
