We had a lovely Thanksgiving Holiday

and I have been greatly enjoying the leftovers

but I have to admit I am ready for some new and different tastes!

I did try a couple of new recipes this past week.

I made a Chicken Parmigiana that was a huge hit

and will definitely be a part of our meals list from here on out.

I made a Greek Lasagna called Pastitsio that was just okay

and will not make our meal rotation.

Finally, I made Country Ribs in the crockpot that were MAGNIFICENT

and they will absolutely be on our meal list.

This week, one new recipe and some old favorites:

Monday: tacos and taco salads

Tuesday: Penne with bacon and mushrooms (holdover from last week- new recipe)

Wednesday: coca cola chicken with rice and organic veggies

Thursday: spaghetti with homemade meat sauce and garlic bread

Friday:vegetarian fried rice, roasted asparagus,  fruited jello

Saturday: TBD

Most of these items are freezer or pantry items so hopefully a low cost week grocery wise.
