Pretty Sure Paula Deen would be proud of me!

I just cooked the best herb roasted chicken you've never tasted!  Fresh rosemary from my garden, 3 cloves of garlic, and a stick of butter (Paula Deen, y'all) was all it took.  And the best part is that the less than $4 chicken fed the whole family, including Joel, with enough left for me to make chicken and dumplings tomorrow.  Here is the break down on the two meals I will have made out of this chicken:

Saturday:  Herb roasted chicken, brown sugar carrots, and Betty Crocker scalloped potatoes (I am only human)
Sunday:  Chicken and Dumplings (will need canned broth)

Total spent on the two meals combined, probably about $5 - $6.  That doesn't count the box of Bisquick, but that's hard to break down since it's something I have "on hand". 

It was a messy pain to clean all the chicken off the bones, but I think in the end it was faster and will taste better than if I had cooked a couple of chicken breasts. 

I have also been browsing the sales for this coming week.  I know I am heading to Publix to buy a London Broil, and I'm thinking I might do lobster tails, too.  Not particularly thrifty, but at $4.99/tail it's not unreasonable.  I know how I'd cook it, but what would I serve with it?  I welcome your thoughts!  That'll have to be a night the girls get to pick their own dinner.  I'm 99% sure Lucy wouldn't touch a lobster tail with a 10 foot pole.  My other two little vacuum cleaner eaters would probably scarf it down, but I'm thinking that lobster might be a little much for a 3 year old and a not-yet-9-month-old!
