Whoa. Menu #200? That’s kinda nuts. Where does the time go? I took a look back at Menu #1. Good thing my friend Margo commented so it at least there was one comment! To honor the big 2-0-0, I think I’ll have a piece of toast. Yeah, we like to celebrate big around here.
MONDAY:
- Pasta Primavera (have some in the freezer already made – love that!)
TUESDAY:
- Paninis
WEDNESDAY:
- Pesto Tortellini Soup
THURSDAY:
- Happy Thanksgiving! We are feasting with two other families. I’m bringing broccoli casserole, sweet potato souffle, corn souffle, cranberry orange sauce, cranberry slush…and I might have to make these rolls.
FRIDAY:
- Crossing my fingers for leftovers! Since we’re eating with friends on Thursday, we might not have that many. Hopefully there are a few!
SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:
- Spaghetti

I need to come up with gluten-free, sugar-free, soy-free, corn-free, egg-free vegetarian meals. I have thanksgiving planned, but it sort of feels like a thanksgiving of side dishes . . .

I LOVE your blog! Gives me great ideas! (I’d love that Windows 7 phone too…lol)
I made your sweet potato souffle for Thanksgiving and it was a hit! Even my husband, who detests sweet potatoes tried it and said it was pretty good. Success!
awesome! my dad is the same way – I had to talk him into the sweet potatoes, but I told him it was good no matter his opinion on the tuber, he also admitted it was pretty good!
