This week’s menu is another one from the pantry and freezer, so no grocery shopping except for a few necessities like fresh produce. The big hit from last week’s menu was the herb garden chicken in the slow cooker. This was so easy and super tasty! The curried lentils and rice was the hands down easiest dinner ever to prepare, [...]
