Menu Plan March 24-30

I'm back in the saddle again, home from South Carolina where I cooked for 8 more people than I'm used to. My sister-in-law's surgery went well and she's recovering nicely. I'm so glad I live close enough to my brother's family that I can help out in situations like this.

While I was away, I celebrated my 44th birthday. My brother's family made sure I had birthday cake.

And when I got home, I found that my husband had installed a fantastic new kitchen faucet. The faucet that we had was probably original to the house, built in 1975. It was awful! But this, this is a work of art! And I love it. I can pull the nozzle out to use as a vegetable sprayer. It's wonderful!

Well, it's the last full week of March, and it appears to be going out like a lion just like it came in. We had some beautiful days at the end of the week, but now we're back to cold and possibly freezing temps to start off the week. Spring is a little slow this year, isn't it?

I've got a few new recipes I'm going to try this week. I'll post them as I make them.

So here's the menu for the week:

Monday
Homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese

Tuesday
Baked chicken and rice, broccoli

Wednesday
Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes

Thursday
Loaded baked potato soup, crusty bread in a cast iron pot

Friday
Chicken teriyaki with veggies, rice

Saturday
Steak and cheese calzones, fries

Sunday
Italian sausage sandwiches
