Menu Planning Monday


Well, my third week of menu planning and so far so good. I've really been able to keep costs down as I'm not constantly running to the store picking up more than I need. I also felt I didn't take into account leftovers last week, so lunch time this week will consist of more leftovers. I hit the farmers market on Saturday for the weeks produce and I have my monthly meat coming tomorrow. Tonight is going to be an interesting meal with a Gordon Ramsay recipe up for the test. I've had some venison haunch in the freezer for awhile and the weather has been so dismal I thought a nice winter pastry pie would be lovely. Watch this space for the verdict and recipe! Also looking forward to making Jambalaya this week, it's been awhile and I love that I actually found crayfish in this town!
