Weekly Menu

A few notes on last week before I start on this week -- you may have read that the Sweet Potato Pancakes were a hit. The Potato Lasagna was a hit with five out of six, so that will be on the menu again. Annie's Pot Roast on Sunday and again for sandwiches on Tuesday was a huge hit. Having grown up on "onion soup pot roast," I had no idea pot roast could be so good. I've not made it very often in our married life because I just wasn't crazy about it. But, I am crazy now, and it worked out great in the crock pot. I cut the liquid in half per Annie's suggestion and had plenty for gravy and plenty leftover for au jus with the sandwiches. Since I bought two roasts for $12 (b.o.g.o. at Giant Eagle), that works out to be $6 for meat for two meals. Sunday's sides were cheap, as were Tuesday's, so I did pretty well per serving.

This week, being Thanksgiving week, will be a little simple on the other days, except for Tuesday, which is Doug's birthday. He chose the menu -- it's pretty much what he chooses every year. The whole gang will be home all day from Wednesday on, and after Wednesday night we could have company for any meal with little notice. So, I've kept it simple and planned meals that can be expanded for a crowd.
