ha ha your menu this week looks like mine last week! We had Bistro Chicken yesterday made with some leftovers from a Rotisserie Chicken I bought on Saturday. I just put the chicken in the dish and poured the sauce over it, topped with cheese. Super easy, and my kids liked it better this way. Go figure.
I haven’t totally figured this week’s menu yet, but it will at some point involve meatloaf, baked spaghetti and crusty bread and chicken/rice soup.
I just had to say that the green noodles turned out fabulous and I’ve already added that recipe to our family favorites special binder. Thank you!
