Lasagna and Our Menu Plan

Welcome to another great week for Menu Planning! Last week’s meals went pretty well. Our favorite was the Kung Pao Chicken, I served it with rice and the boys and Doug all loved it. It will definitely be added to our regular monthly plan.

Lasagna…the ooey, gooey, cheesy, deliciousness is always a hit! I have been using the same recipe for many, many years and we all love it!

    Wow! Chili must be on the menu for everyone…we’re having it too 🙂 The temperature here is -9 right now, so I think that might have something to do with it 😉
