This week’s menu:

Monday: Saucy Baked Chicken & Maple Glazed Carrots ~ appointments ran late so used the same chicken to make a quick soup and grilled cheese
Tuesday: Manicotti & Big Salad – thank goodness this is already in the freezer from the last time I made it, that way it will wait until next week since hubby just came home and told me we’re going to the VFW for a taco night fundraiser. So this got changed twice since we never made it to taco night in the blizzard so we settled for Progresso Pot Roast soup and grilled cheese – I guess that changes tomorrow night too!
Wednesday: Creamy Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese ~ now meatloaf and broccoli
Thursday: Ham Steak & Cabbage Salad ~ Could this week get any screwier? I got caught in a blizzard Tuesday and came straight home instead of going to the grocery store as planned and now have to change tonight’s menu too ~ Now it’s spaghetti and meatballs so I can use what’s on hand
Friday: Shrimp Pasta and Salad
Saturday:BBQ Beef and 3 Bean Salad
Sunday: Hot Wings w/ home made Bleu Cheese (it’s Super bowl after all ~ what else would you have?

My mom has always said it amazes her that I plan the calender out and actually keep to it. We were actually better about keeping to it before this past move and the forced remodel of this house, but we’re getting back on track!
