What's for supper?

So answering Kathleen's request, here's the dinner menu in my house tonight:

Roast Chicken (roasted in the crockpot)
Mashed potatoes
steamed asparagus

Tomorrow evening:
Chicken burrito or taco salad with corn and blackbeans


It's relatively easy and cheap....
I bought a whole chicken and put it in the crockpot this morning (around 10:45am) I used a chicken spice rub on the bird - just sprinkled it on, put the lid on the crockpot, turned it on low and walked away. You can use taco seasoning, Season All, or Italian seasoning depending on the flavor that you are looking for.... I have a bunch of whole chicken in the crockpot ideas....

After 6 hours, the chicken is cooked and ready to fall off the bone. I'll cut it up after I take it out of the crockpot.

I am making mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus because the asparagus was on sale.

After dinner, I (or Mark) will debone the remaining meat off the chicken. That meat along with a can of kernel corn and a can of black beans and probably a packet of taco seasoning will become the base for taco salad / burritos tomorrow evening. Will add green salad, shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Served on tortilla chips or rolled up in a tortilla.

Both dishes are relatively low carb, although you have to be careful of serving size if you are watching carbs (esp. with the mashed potato)

Happy Eating!

P.S. May add some sliced fruit - we have kiwi and mango in the house that need eating...
