Menu Plan Monday - 3rd Week of October

Menu Monday is upon us again! Organizing Junkie is our host; hop on over to sample hundreds more great recipes. God bless Laura for allowing me a place to share my (semi) talent and gain some wonderful ideas.

It's turning cold and windy here and that turns me to warm comfort foods. It's the time of year when it feels darn good to turn that oven on! Besides the meals listed below, I'll also be baking homemade bread, trying some Amish Potato Rolls recommended by Miles to Go, trying a new recipe: Applesauce Loaf, and whipping up some kind of dessert for the week.

My new craving is English Toffee - think I can do it? I'd better learn since it's sticker shock at $17.95 a pound at the local candy store! I found a website that appeals to me, and shows me step by step, with pictures, how to do it. It's called Cooking for Engineers. I just love the tagline: Detailed instructions on food and cooking for those who like to ask not just How? but also Why? I'm married to an engineer, have an engineer step-father, and worked with engineers for a long time before my motherhood career change, so it makes sense to me!

I didn't get to some of my meals for the week past, so here's another week with carry-overs.

Chicken Biscuit Pot Pie, salad
Oven Fried Chicken, mashed squash/potatoes, fried okra
Marmalade Curried Chicken, bacon ranch zucchini
Leftovers
Onion Soup Pork Roast, mashed potatoes, salad
Burritos/Tostadas

Friday is the school carnival so we'll eat there - junk food galore, I'm sure.

Hope your week is wonderful!
