Menu Plan Monday

Monday, February 07, 2011

Someone who shall remain nameless, but who does the dishes in our house, has requested that I make more meals that use less pots and pans.  Never one to walk away from a challenge, I added that factor in to my weekly meal plan this week, with some success (and some failures, too).  I'll give you a hint.  This person is  not me or the kids.  Hee hee.

Tuesday: Leftovers

Wednesday: Sloppy Turkey Joes and Cheese Fries

Thursday: Chicken with Apple Gravy, Cheesy Rice Pilaf with Peas, and Green Beans with Green Onions
