Food Plan and Grocery List, 042812

I need to get more of what's in the freezer out. While I made some of a dent, the acquisition of chickens, though I ate most of them immediately after purchase, meant more wings, drumsticks and frames going into the freezer. A recipe to use some of that stock and all of those wings are of necessity. And because I don't want to waste the ricotta that's left, I'm going to redo an older recipe.
