A Spoonful of Honey and A Cup of Organization

Family Meal Planning Made Simple and Sweet

To celebrate Back To School, I’ve designed a meal plan this week to add a little sweetness and a lot of simplicity to your routine.

Crispy Honey Chicken from The Organized Cook

I start the week with Crispy Honey Chicken and a One-Minute Honey Dipping Sauce served with Buttered Corn on Cob and Spiced Apples.

After pounding my chicken flat, I use a beer batter mixed with honey for bit of sweetness.

Pound chicken with a meat tenderizer between two pieces of plastic wrap

Use beer or water to mix the batter along with a few squirts of honey.

You don't have to use beer if you don't want, but it does give it more flavor

Fry in canola or vegetable oil until crispy-honey brown.

Apples For Dinner?

Why not.  Apples are healthy and delicious, and make a perfect side-dish to this Crispy Honey Chicken.

Meal Planning Made Simple

Using cooking methods I like to call “Reusing Your Time” and “Reincarnating The Leftover” will save you a lot of time and money during the hectic week.

So, cooking more chicken than we need tonight and storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator gives us a head start later on in the week when we reincarnate it into Chicken with Lemon Sauce.

It took me four attempts to perfect my recipe for lemon sauce. The results- delicious!
