Menus on Mondays: 10/15/12

menus on mondays

I’m scurrying to put this menu together today.  I meant to do it yesterday, but oh, time slipped away.  I meant to do it before I took the kids to school, but the kids slept in and so did I!! (Happy dance going on over here!) So now, I’m pulling it together crazy fast ’cause we’re out of milk, out of diapers, and momma’s got to go to the store!

I’m craving comfort foods this week, but a lighter version.  I hope you dig these meals.  I sure can’t wait to sit down for dinner tonight!
