Menu Plan: April 21, 2012

Welcome to Menu Plan Monday! 

My frugal tip of the week: Use more spices and seasonings to change up your normal 'staples'. When you find combinations that your family really likes, use those on other dishes. For example, if your family loves Italian seasonings, use them on your chicken, in your ground beef, in your veggies, and even in your bread. You can take the same basic foods and make them 'new'!
