Menu plan 8/29/11: Out of the house

This week in menu plans:  Unlike many weeks, I'll be out of the house at least one full day and one full afternoon.  I hate rushing to make dinner after being out of the house for several hours, so this week I'm going to try using my crockpot to help make things go quicker.

One night, I'm going to try cooking a whole chicken in the crockpot.  I've never done this before and I"m not sure why I never thought of it.  The other night, I'll make my vegetable chili, then quickly make some pasta to serve it on once I"m home.  I'll let you know how these work out!

So here's what's for dinner this week:

Monday - spaghetti and meatballs, salad

Tuesday - chicken cooked in the crockpot, tabbouleh, veggie sticks

Wednesday - 3 Can Veggie Chili (made in the crockpot) over pasta

Thursday - veggie burritos, fruit

Friday - steak, rice, salad, challah

Saturday - ravioli, salad, breadsticks

Sunday - dinner out!
