Here is your Grocery List:

Monday: Calzones- Makes 6 small calzones

1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

*All of the above were the sandwich toppings we chose. You can be creative and make your own sandwich up w/a different meat or whatever you have on hand!

Thursday: Marinated Pork w/ homeade Applesauce and roasted potatoes with green beans
This is my favorite Rachel Ray recipe. Sooo yummy and easy! Serves: 4

4 center cut boneless pork chops
1/4 cup soy sauce
orange juice

4 Macintosh apples
1 cup apple juice (or cider)
brown sugar

1 1/2 lb red skinned potatoes
olive oil

Friday: Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff w/ Steamed Carrots Serves 6
2 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1 3/4 lb. boneless beef round steak (I used 3/4 lb and it was plenty for 6 people or mix it up and just use ground beef to make it more frugal)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup water
1 envelope dried onion soup mix
1/2 cup sour cream
9 oz jar (can or fresh) mushrooms (optional)

That’s it folks. This week is so yummy and sure to provide lots of leftovers to freeze or for lunch the next day!
