Menu planning is just as important during the summer, maybe even more so! If your kids are home you need to plan for three meals a day and stretch your food budget. Here is my menu for the week:
Monday: Turkey Tacos
Tuesday: Out for our 13th anniversary
Wednesday: Penne with Sausage and Veggies (recipe below)
Thursday: Corn and Crab Chowder, cornbread
Friday: Chili and salad
Saturday: Pork Chops and homemade sauerkraut
Sunday: Spaghetti dinner fundraiser
