I am doing more menu planning with I'm an Organizing Junkie and finding more deals at Pick N Save for $5 Dinners and putting them together with great recipes:-)First week of school!! Yahoo!! Back into the swing of things and Man, are we busy. I have cookies to bring to a welcome-back luncheon for the teachers. I have to speak at the kindergarten parent information night. I have a meet and greet and a girl scout table to run. And I have a welcome back coffee for the parents. Whew! By the end of the week, I am really going to be missing summer:-)
Thank goodness Pick N Save is helping me out with my menu planning! They have chuck roast on sale for $2.99/lb. (normally $3.69/lb.) !! They even gave me free potatoes and carrots and with onions for the garden, this costs almost nothing!! Of course, I picked it all up so, I could make my life easier by making my Pot Roast (check out the recipe below). It is crock pot season again:-)Here is everything that I am serving this week:
Monday: Spaghetti (Cleaning Day/Welcome Back Luncheon/Kindergarten PIN Night)
Tuesday: Bean Night (trying to incorporate some more fiber in our diets) (Meet & Greet)
Wednesday: Pot Roast (See recipe below) (First Day of School!!!/Welcome Back Coffee)
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Eat Out

i was just reading an article about storing beans, and that if you grind beans into bean flour they take less time to cook. have you heard of this? interesting...but you only use 1/4 C bean powder for every C of beans the recipe calls for.
