Weekly Menu

This week I am making a big push toward low acid and low fat cooking. I'm trying quite a few new recipes this week -- I think it's time to break into some new dishes! And I'm guessing that we won't even be able to tell they are low fat. Giant Eagle has their 92 % lean ground beef on sale for $2.99 a pound, and I'm going to stock up for future weeks. They also have bone-in chicken breasts on sale which I love to use for low fat soups and stews.
