Menu Plan Monday

Here is this week's menu.  I am trying a new recipe tonight that I found in a Southern Living holiday magazine at my parents' house.  We just got home from a visit with them--we left Thursday after cross country practice, and we came home just a while ago.  One of my grandmothers is in the hospital, so we visited her.  I also went to Target and did a little bit of Christmas shopping.  Julie had a home ec sewing lesson--helping to make a Snow White costume for Leah, and all of the children had a relaxing time at my parents' house.

Saturday
Brunswick stew.  I would like to have homemade bread with this, but I don't think I have time to buy groceries and make bread before supper.  I will pick up some bread at Kroger.
Sunday
leftover stew, hopefully homemade bread (lunch), and cereal, toast and/or oatmeal for supper
Monday
shrimp scampi
Tuesday
bean soup--I never got to cook this last week.
Wednesday
spaghetti with homemade sauce from the freezer
Thursday
leftovers from the soup and spaghetti
