Menu Plan Monday - W/O 9/29/09 EIGHT WEEKS Strong!

So ... I am still impressed with this whole menu planning thing. I think the most amazing thing is that I find myself throwing away much less food than I did before. It seems we are able to get things used up BEFORE they go bad. That is good!

I have also added a few more recipes to our menu. I found two REALLY good ones this past week. See my review of last week below this weeks plan.

Found out it is really called Yakiniku (Grilled Beef). Yakatori is chicken. Anyway it was amazingly good!!!
