Weekly Menu (Week 5)

I never managed to post the Week 4 menu, did I? Basically we finished the menu from the week before except for the eggplant bolognese. We had (eggplant parmesan and creamed spinach with chicken teriyaki. Then we wound up eating out two evenings--once in Fairfax and then for the Marine Birthday celebration. Finally, I had a craving for pizza on Friday.

This week's menu started on Saturday. I'm already a day behind as we had leftovers on Monday because I'm trying to make fridge and freezer space for Thanksgiving leftovers. Oh well. Here's the plan. My goal is to make it through item 7 tomorrow and then freeze the pesto sauce. I already posted my Thanksgiving menu, which you can see here.

I don't remember if I have a post scheduled for Thanksgiving and don't know whether I'll have a chance to write one. Thus, best wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with quality time with family (and then lots of good Black Friday shopping afterwards).
