5. Beef Enchilada Casserole 6. Leftovers
7. Steak and Bacon Tournedos and Béarnaise Sauce w/ Easier French Fries and Belgian-Style Dipping Sauce Baked Potato Soup I’ve given up on this happening for a while since we keep ending up with plenty of food without the addition of soup!

This is an exciting week!  Art is home all week for the first time in at least a month.  How fantastic!  I asked him if he had any special requests, but he just wants “good home-cooked food.”  That, I can do. 

I turned to the 2009 Cook’s Illustrated Annual and the 2009 Cook’s Country Annual for inspiration.  And, since our butcher is finally stocking flank steak again, I’ll finally be able to make the Steak and Bacon Tournedos I’ve wanted to make since November! 

I’m also planning to finally get this Baked Potato Soup made, since it will be great to have for lunches with all of us home.  This will be a fantastic week.
