Dinner tonight is fried or bbq chicken, and homemade french fries.
We had thought about doing a hot dog bar and fries. But the kids decided they wanted chicken, and he child has two friends over. So that would of been a lot of hot dogs. Teenage boys eat a lot. LOL
We went into town to Thriftway. A grocery store that I swear looks like 1975 when you walk into it.
But anyway. I found five and a half pounds of chicken breasts, fresh in the meat department for $16.45. I thought that was a pretty good deal. Can't get it like that at Walmart, Publix or Winn Dixie.
So that's what's for dinner tonight. We had the potatoes and everything.
All I had to get at the store was the chicken breasts.
$16.45 for dinner for 7 people isn't too bad in my book.
So that's what is going on the table here, what are you feasting on?
Here's a picture of the frozen veggie section at the store we scored the chicken at. It always makes me smile that they sell veggies in ziplocks. I told a friend earlier that's how you know we live in a tiny town.

I made the son baked chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, and homemade rolls. He is in a food coma.
Sounds like you had a good dinner!

Well sounds like a good meal too.
What kind of gravy do you make? White or brown?

Chicken gravy,the broth from the chicken was super good, I baked two chickens so I could shred one and freeze it for chicken lasagna sometime soon, so with that much chicken I had lots of broth and used some for gravy. Honestly, he loves gravy, I think he considers it a beverage rather than a condiment!!

I love chili and cornbread together. Also beans and cornbread, and cornbread with just butter...I love cornbread.

@MarieCoyle I used to make chilli cornbread, make the chilli and put it in the bottom of the casserole pan and then put the corbread mix on top and bake it. SOOO Good

I'm sure they are locally grown. That grocery store has been there for about a million years.
I thought they were going home tomorrow morning, but apparently the extra boys are staying tomorrow and just going to school on the bus with he child Monday.

We had pizza last night. Which I am sure you've seen since you tend to work through all my posts when you get online. LOL, much appreciated.
