The first day of your 5 days 5 ways meal adventure. I'd try to do this on a Saturday or Sunday, or when you have more time.
Ingredients
  • 2 whole roaster chickens-$10-$15
  • 5 lb bag of potatoes-$2
  • milk
  • butter
  • flour
  • salt, pepper seasonings
  • side dish veggie-$1
Instructions
  1. Cook both chickens either in your oven or in crock pots.
  2. When chickens are done, get ALL the meat off of them and divide into portions for 5 meals.
  3. If you have a large family, you may need either 3 chickens or skip some of the meals and just do 3-4 days of meals
  4. Your first night's dinner is roast chicken, mashed potatoes and a veggie for a side dish. Make gravy with the chicken juice and flour and water.
  5. You should have leftover mashed potatoes.
Notes
This will be your longest day in the kitchen because of the roasting time, picking all the chicken off the bone and dicing it or cubing it, and making the mashed potatoes. This is why I suggest a Saturday or Sunday, but then you will be set for the week!
