Weekly Menu, November 2nd

okay, okay, I am slowly getting back to a "regular" schedule. Here is the weekly dinner plan:

Tuesday: Beef Roast, Creamy Potatoes and Mushrooms with Sage*, Steamed Broccoli
Wednesday: Grilled Chicken and Baked Polenta with Cheese and Kale*
Thursday: Hungarian Beef Goulash with Homemade Spaetzle*
Friday: Smoked Turkey Pot Pie


*I am testing some recipes out of a new cookbook I picked up over the holidays titled, "The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever" by Beatrice Ojakangas. Not often does a cookbook catch my eye (I prefer cooking magazines because they come seasonally). But something about one-dish meals (or side dishes) appeals to the busy mom in me. What I really love about the recipes in this book is that they call for real food ingredients. In other words, no cans of condensed soup or tater-tots often associated with "casserole." These recipes use simple, fresh ingredients. I love it. I will let you know how they taste.
