This Week’s Secret To Success

  • This week we’re making the most of purchasing chicken at the grocery store. Save a little by purchasing a larger package. You can even cook all of the chicken for both meals in the same day.
  • Both meal ideas also include a little fruit which is so important this time of year. We’re jazzing up our side dish options by making fruit a part of dinner.
  • Need a third dinner idea? This week’s breakfast casserole makes an incredible make-ahead supper option when paired with a simple green salad!

EXTRA TIPS: Let’s talk about getting a little extra mileage out of these meal ideas with leftovers!

  • Got leftover Spinach Artichoke Casserole? Take it back to its roots by serving the leftovers like a dip with some tortilla chips. It’s SO GOOD and makes leftovers fun!
  • Purchase a few baking potatoes with all the toppings. Use any leftover BBQ shredded chicken to stuff those potatoes and serve outstanding loaded baked potatoes for supper one night.
