Monday
Meal: Oven-Roasted Fryer Leg Quarters with Roasted Potatoes

Serving note: Use 2 leg quarters (about 1.5 lbs total), 3 medium potatoes cubed, and 1/2 onion in wedges. Roast at 425F for 45-50 minutes. Total time is near an hour, so cut the potatoes ahead of time and keep them in cold water until roasting.
