Bring on the crock pot recipes, ladies! I am looking for some tried and true slow cooker meals for the cold months 
This week's dinner groceries cost a mere $40! Yowza! Here's what we're eating:
Monday: Jamaican Pumpkin Soup;
Tuesday: Leftovers;
Wednesday: Lemon & Herb Crock Chicken, roasted potatos and carrots;
Thursday: Leftovers;
Friday: Breakfast! (hashbrowns, ham steak, eggs).
Re: Menu
yum! Pumpkin soup sounds delicious, are you making it with jack-o-lantern??
I haven't made my menu yet, but I'm also doing crockpot today! I have a pork roast cooking all day long, with carrots and potatos
Nah, we don't have trick-or-treaters, so no use for a pumpkin. I am resorting to canned pumpkin
We didn't have any either. Only the neighbours who knew we never had trick or treaters for the last 2 years, so it was kind of annoying that they came because we barely had enough candy for his 4 kids, haha. Your new neighbourhood doesn't have kids either? Is it just because not many people have moved in yet?
There are about 20 houses under construction in our area, but only 5 are occupied. Of those 5 I think only one has kids. We don't have roads/sidewalks yet so it's a big mucky mess out there...not the best for TorTing. Maybe next year! lol
Yummm that Jamaican Pumpkin soup sounds amazing!
Monday: Penne and sausage in homemade tomato sauce, caesar salad
Tuesday: leftover risotto from Sunday night (my dad made), chicken skewers, green beans
Wednesday: leftover pasta from Monday
Thursday: Beef and vegetable stew
Friday: leftover stew
Mel, I used to have this awesome chicken with apple pecan stuffing crockpot recipe... lost it on my old laptop when it died on me. I will go looking for it!
I had to chuckle at "leftovers" two nights for dinner. Even if I make enough for 6 H eats everything. And might I had, doesn't gain a pound. I guess installing hardwood burns a lot of calories.
Chicken breasts were on sale at Fortino's last week, so I'm using up some from the freezer this week.
Nothing crockpot this week. I keep overcooking things.We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
lol I have DH on a diet! We used to cook something new every night...but I found we threw away or wasted so much food that I figure I may as well save cash and eat it again!
Monday - pasta
Tuesday - comfort food! (sausage, brown beans, creamed corn)
Wednesday - salmon, rice, broccoli
Thursday - pork chops, mashed potatoes, green beans
Friday - breakfast (omeletes, toast, hashbrowns)
