Weekly Meal Plan 12
Here are my dinners for this week.
Sunday Chicken Dinner in the Crockpot– I will say it again, yummy! I popped some bread in the oven and made frozen peas to go with it as well. Hit the spot for a cold night. We appropriately had it on Sunday night.
Homemade Gourmet Beef Stroganoff– this is frozen and pre-assembled in my freezer and is ready to be thrown in the crockpot. I will serve it over wide egg noodles and with yummy Pillsbury frozen dinner rolls.
Asian Crockpot Fried Rice– this is a carry over from last week. With the big boys gone visiting family over Christmas break longer than we expected, I got off easy on cooking a few nights last week. They will be happy I saved this meal for them- they love it!
Chicken and Puerto Rican Rice– I have a whole chicken I will cook all day in the crockpot. (Just cover your chicken in water and season with salt, pepper, garlic and poultry seasoning.) I will de-bone the chicken and serve it over Puerto Rican Rice with some tortilla chips on the side. Any leftover chicken can be stored in the freezer and used later for a casserole dish.

Organization, it’s what’s for dinner.
it all looks yummy. i've never done a whole chicken in the crockpot before…one day!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! To answer your question, I haven't tried the balsamic chicken in the slow cooker. I don't use exactly the recipe I linked, but just brown the chicken, add onions, balsamic, and a little water; then cover and let it cook through.
Your plan looks good! I hadn't seen the Asian crockpot fried rice, but that looks like a great way to use leftovers!
I'm glad you liked the Sunday Chicken Dinner. Your other recipes look good too. And I agree, having a meal all ready in the crockpot is a very satisfying feeling.
Tara- cooking a whole chicken in the crockpot and then getting two dinners out of it is a lifesaver! You've gotta try it- soon! And the meat is juicy and tender. Never dry.
Melissa- the Asian Crockpot Fried Rice is absolutly perfect for using up leftovers. And you will not believe how much it tastes like real carry out! Check out the crockpot lady's website for tons of recipes that are just as delish.
Tiffany- thank you so much for checking out my blog. I love your site and all the simple recipes you have. What I like even more is that I usually have everything on hand to make your recipes. Two thumbs up.
These all look like yummy ideas my kids would love!!
