With a lighter week and a little less stress I can make more involved meals plus I get to enjoy the kids without the clock ticking away...

One dish I REALLY LOVE is 

Greek Stuffed Chicken,

I bet you have all ready guessed that one right?? I have included it in my menu plan many times yet, unfortunately, I don't think I have been able to make more than twice. 

This week I AM MAKING it!!This dish is healthy, delicious and nutritious!

I am using my freezer storage for all the main dishes, sides & some are pre-made freezer meals, so super easy and FAASSST!!!!

I found European cheese on sale this week, I am excited to try these gourmet, aged, organic & grass-fed cheeses. One type is an Irish Butter cheese, it is supposed to be a smooth cheese with a sweet nutty undertone, another is a creamy sharp and the the third a Swedish with a waxy paper, with a really interesting smell nutty and sweet...it will interesting. I have different apples from the orchard, sweet, spicy, crunchy, crisp, crunchy... all kinds of tastes to describe in our taste buds journal.
