Grocery List and Menu

Here's this week's Grocery List and Menu. With a little planning and prep work, it's possible to have good, healthy meals during the week...yes, even if you're a working mom, although you may need a little help from the hubs. Everything looks really good and I'm really hoping the slow cooker meal turns out well. It's so great to come to home to a good smelling kitchen and a meal that's already ready! Click directly on the meals for links to the recipes.

Menu

• Spicy Pesto Pasta, Asparagus Melon Salad, espresso caramel bars for dessert! (I will make the bars on Saturday...too much work for a week day!)
• Calzone Rolls with Romaine Salad
• Chicken Cutlets with Herbs with Sauteed Veggies (no online recipe for this one; just sautee veggies of your choice after marinating in Dales Liquid seasoning)
• Slow Cooker Rosemary Chicken
• Leftovers/out to eat

I'm also thinking about doing a follow up post/entry to give my thoughts on the meals. For instance, last week, one of the meals ended up need a whole lot more prep work that I really cared for. Would you guys be interested in that. I thought about calling it "Follow Up Friday" or something like that. There may even be days when I just through in the towel and have cereal and I need to fess up to that! Well, in the meantime, enjoy!
