My parents are coming into town this week to go to the circus with my little man.  The ads keep coming on television so this is getting very exciting and we can't wait to go and see what it is all about.  We have an easy week planned with the idea that if we are at the circus for a long time then we will have some take out pizza to make dinner fast and easy.  I think that we are going to have a big breakfast before we go and then snacks at the place and maybe a small lunch so we might have an early dinner.  I was going to plan a crock pot meal but since we don't really know what the schedule is going to be, I am going to make it super easy on everyone.

We are having some of our favorites early in the week and then later in the week we have to feed five so I am planning for meals that we can make bigger easily.  I love making a whole chicken but I am going crazy and making homemade stuffing too since my parents are going to be here too.  I might even make some rolls!!!  It is going to be like a mini Thanksgiving dinner.  It is a really cost effective way of feeding everyone because it provides a lot of meat and I get them on sale for about $4 so the whole meal is super cheap for everyone.  I still have one more left in the freezer so I hope to try it on the grill.  Have you ever grilled a whole chicken?  If so, give me some hints!
