I got most of my once-a-month -shopping completed Saturday so it's now time to begin formulating the menu plan! Yippee!
I got my hands on some pretty cool things and some pretty neat deals!
I discovered that Kroger gives their beef fat away, so I was able to get a few pounds and bring it home to render. It is now a tub of beef 'lard' ,so to speak. I think the right name would be 'edible beef tallow'.
(I'll be posting about this later, if anyone is interested.;0)
I was so excited to find lots of good chicken on sale, so some of my menu plan will be flexible to allow for new recipes -to keep everyone happy! (Anyone got any good, quick, easy, frugal, chicken recipes? Please post me a link if U do!)

ooooh, I love pastitsio! Yummy looking menu! :)
YOu inspired me to get back into one a month shopping and meal planning. So far so good and although a great deal of work in the beginning, the end of the month will be relaxing
