A friend had brought me some marinated thin fajita meat, so I used that to make tacos, which we ate with applesauce and chips. It’s gotten to be a bit of a disaster because of the last few crazy weeks, so once I take inventory, I will decide on a dinner plan that uses up some of my fridge contents. ?

Monday I got a rotisserie chicken (the $3 one I mentioned in this week’s Five Frugal Things), and we ate that with sweet potato fries and a fruit salad. Tuesday I used leftover chicken to make half of this chicken and biscuits recipe. Halving it worked great for just the two of us! I made a green salad on the side.
