November 22-28


Sunday: Alfredo Linguine
Monday: Shrimp Scampi
Tuesday: White Bean Turkey Chili
Wednesday: Baked Macaroni & Cheese
Thursday: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! No cooking for me today...just sides and dessert!
Friday: Mozzarella Meatloaf
Saturday: Roasted Vegetable Orzo Salad


Review from the 15th-21st:
Sunday: Crunchy Onion Chicken: Quick and easy. Very good

Monday: Turkey Meatloaf: "Exceptional" "Great" "One of the best meatloaf recipes" "Delicious" (ALL words used by the husband and kiddos to describe)

Tuesday: Meatball Sandwiches: So easy...definitely cheated on making these!

Wednesday: Creamy Italian Chicken: First dud I have had in a long time. It was bland as bland can be. You know it's bad when the husband compares eating it to eating a sock! But for some reason the kiddos devoured it!

Thursday: Chicken Quesadillas: No recipe here...just tortillas, chicken and cheese. The kiddos made them themselves and loved them.

Friday: Salmon Patties: Yummy..now if only I knew how to use my Deep Fryer a bit better.

Saturday: Turkey Enchiladas Suizas
: Still in process although I'm thinking it might be a disaster waiting to happen...no sour cream and I can't roll an enchilada to save my life. Here goes nothing!
