Notes for this week
  • Use the extra chicken from Day 1 in Chicken Pepper Pasta on Day 2 and freeze any remaining cooked chicken for later meals.
  • Reserve enough Crockpot Marinara from Day 4 to use in the Meatball Subs on Day 5; you can remove duplicate pizza-sauce ingredients from your shopping list if you do this.
