Menus on Mondays: Menu Plan for the week of 11/26/12

Trying new things is one of the most things to do with my menu plan.  This week, I’ll be cooking with Spaghetti Squash for the first time and also making pretzel rolls.   I hope this menu inspires you to try out a new recipe or pick up a new ingredient at the grocery store.

Oh, and anyone wanna guess what I’m most excited about making this week?  Scroll to the end… you’ll find it there.  Beer. Cheese. Pasta. All in one dish. Heck yeah!

Happy Monday,

Katie

    […] really fit the “health-conscious” mode of this menu plan, but if you missed the Beer Mac ‘n Cheese and Homemade Pretzel Rolls, you may want to make those sometime soon.  Talk about delicious […]
