Sweet and Sour Chicken

Check me out over at At Work, At Play or At Home All Day talking about girlie stuff:-)

Here, I am doing more menu planning with I'm an Organizing Junkie and finding more deals at Pick N Save for $5 Dinners .

At Pick N Save, ground beef was on sale for $1.89/lb., chicken was on sale for $2.99/lb. and so were brats again. We had a little bit of everything this weekend for the 4th of July which is a good thing because I have a lot of need for leftovers this week. I did manage to squeeze one new recipe out among the chaos:-)

Here is what I am serving this week:

Monday: Semi-Homemade Spaghetti (Swim Class Tonight)

Tuesday: Leftover Buffet (Echo/Playdate)

Wednesday: Leftover Buffet (Cath, Meeting and Swim Class:-)

Thursday: Sweet and Sour Chicken (See recipe below)

Friday: Eat Out
