This past week, our menu plan worked out pretty nicely. We didn't try a ton of new recipes, but certainly enjoyed some good eats:
with herby biscuits
Apple Cranberry Granola
Christmas Eggs
Whole Wheat Apple Cake
Breakfast {Oven} Potatoes
Spiced Country Applesauce
Grandma's Sloppy Joe's
with whole wheat rolls
Over the weekend, my Father-in-Law and family friend came to visit us for the first time! We did lots of grilling {steaks and brats}, potato pockets, corn and enjoyed yummy dark chocolate mint squares for dessert {thanks mom!}. I'll share that recipe later this week.
We enjoyed spending time with them, and got to take in two baseball games while they were here!
I'm starting to add a to-do list under each day's menu... this is to help me manage my time so that we don't end up getting ready for dinner the next night and are missing a key ingredient! Hopefully this to-do list helps :) Do any of you do this with your menus?
