Monday
Meal: Oven-Baked Chicken Leg Quarters with Simply Potatoes and Frozen Vegetables

Sale items used: Fresh Fryer Leg Quarters, Simply Potatoes, Best Choice Frozen Vegetables
Prep time: 10 minutes prep, 45 minutes bake
Serving note: Buy about 1.5 lbs of leg quarters (2 pieces, about 0.75 lb each).
