Menu plan w/c 9/11/07

We have just finished tea, which was Tana Ramsey’s Butterbean chicken. I put it  in the slow cook this morning at 8.30, before I left for work. On arriving back home his evening, I was greeted with the scummy smell of chicken and butterbeans wafting around the house….mmmmm. It was delicous and very country casseroley. I would definetly make it again, it was so easy to prepare, all I had to do when I got home was boil a couple of new potatoes with it and voila!   We had a great meal that was very filling, good for you and cheap to make! :)

I have just completed a quick menu plan to begin from tommorow, as the food shopping will be delivered tommorow afternoon.

  2. I love chicken pie but my one and only attempt to make it was disasterous. Looking forward to your recipe!
