I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanskgiving...and for those who braved the Black Friday crowds, I hope you escaped with all of your appendages still attached.
We're doing really well sticking to the menu - this past week was easy because there were so many nights we planned for leftovers or eating somewhere other than home. But all of the recipes were successful, especially the Oatmeal-Cornflake cookies...I ended up baking SIX batches before the week was done. I scored some cranberries on sale and chopped two cups of those in the food processor for some of the cookies - they didn't add a lot of flavor but made them look VERY Christmasy! I was thinking chopped dates and nuts might be pretty good too...
Here's our plan for the week - don't forget to visit I'm an Organizing Junkie for more inspiration and to post your own menu! Also - I've added a MPM calendar in my sidebar - let me know what you think!
monday - Leftovers night - free!
tuesday - Autumn Chowder, homemade rolls ($4.85 for 6 servings)
wednesday - Homemade Hawaiian pizza (with pineapple and bacon) ($3.74 for 8 servings)
thursday - Slow cooker chicken and dumplings using these biscuits for the dumplings ($3.16 for 6 servings)
friday - Ham and cheese oven omelette using this recipe and leftover ham, toast ($3.15 for 6 servings)
saturday - Chicken leg quarters from this sale with Italian dressing marinade, veggie, rice ($4.23 for 4 servings)
sunday - Dinner at the in-laws! Free night!

Great recipes! And I love the recipe sidebar too-great idea. Makes me hungry, though! :)
I like your breakdown of price and I lobe your blog header :)
Suzie, those are some awesome menu ideas (especially the dumplings)! I'll have to check back here more often!
Excellent menu, especially the chicken & dumplins!
