My menu is delayed this week.  I blame SimCity 4.  I have the usual planning challenges this week.  Four nights without Art and two or three nights of choir. 

I did have a few other goals with meal planning this week.  I’ve been craving Mac and Cheese so it’s on the menu.  Art enjoys grilling at least once while he’s home, so we’ll be doing burgers on the grill.  I also have a bunch of steaks in the freezer that I want to make a dent in, so that’s the inspiration for meal 3.  I’ll also be making fish during the week, since we didn’t have any last week. 

Since the cookbooks I grabbed weren’t offering any inspiration this week I turned to the internet and my own recipe files.

In other exciting food news we ended up getting an additional chest freezer for future bulk cow purchases and also a rice cooker to make the transition to brown rice a bit easier!
