Compare costs:We prepared a menu for a week’s worth of groceries and the meals you can make from them. One of our strategies was to roast one or two chickens and serve a roasted chicken one night and various meals on the following nights that used the leftover roasted chicken.We bet you didn’t know that if you cooked 6 meals from scratch and costed out the difference between eating them in a restaurant versus cooking at home that you would save enough money to buy basic groceries for a family of 2 to 4 for one week! PLUS you would save enough calories to lose more than a pound. If you think about how much this would save over a year the results are astounding! You would save more than $3000 and more than 96,000 calories!Here is a list of entrees you can make using roasted chicken:
Chicken Veggie Stir Fry
Chicken Vegetable Soup
Chicken With Rice
Chicken Pasta and Veggies
Chicken Chef Salad
