A week of cooking in just a couple hours

I'm busy - I really am.  OK, I'm overbooked, over-scheduled, and over-busy (all my fault!).  When this happens (regularly), one of the places that I steal a bit of time from is cooking dinner.  Why cook when I can stop by my favorite drive-through & pay someone else to cook for me?!  Well, that's easy, but it's really hard on the budget, not to mention the nutrition-less problems!  So, this week, I planned ahead, spent some Saturday time cooking the meats, and I hope that the food will last much better this week!

Here's my menu:
     Saturday - Madison County Chicken
     Sunday - Sweet and Sour Meatballs + Summer Veggie Slaw
     Monday - Olive Garden Copy Cat Zuppa Toscana
     Tuesday - Southwestern Grilled Chicken Salad with Tomato and Black Bean Salsa
     Wednesday - Crock Sloppy Joes + more of the Summer Veggie Slaw
     Thursday - Pesto Vegetable Soup
     Friday - Ham and Potatoes Au Gratin (I substitute ham for the chicken in this recipe)
     Saturday - Slow Cooker Beef Enchilada Stack

Sweet & Sour Meatballs

This is an old family favorite - I've had it so long, I can't remember where I got it, but I find it in my oldest scrap-cook-book, which means I've had it since we got married!
