Menu Plan MondayAnother Monday, another Menu Plan.  I’m sharing what we ate last week, but I’ve been a slacker and I’m still trying to figure out what we are going to eat THIS week at home!  Eek!  I’m usually better prepared than this.  I guess that today will have to be a “leftover” day or “eat whatever is in the pantry” day.  I’ll have to get right to work on our menu for this week to plan some great meals for my family.  I’ll use OrgJunkie’s Menu Plan Monday post and my Recipe Archives as inspiration, but feel free to leave your own recipes or menu plans for me in the comments below.  Thanks!
