I went ahead and wrote up an easy menu plan for this week, but I have no idea if I will adhere to it or not. The In-Laws are arriving Tuesday night and their visits are always dominated by shopping and eating out at weird hours. I don't mind shopping, but two meals a day out for five or six days gets to be a bit much!(Many recipes from Betty Crocker's Cook It Quick!, because I'm trying to make better use of my cookbook collection ... I own many cookbooks but some see much more use than others and, if I'm not going to use them, then what is the purpose of owning them?)
Monday
Tuesday

Oh, I saw that skillet taco recipe the other day and thought it looked good too! The rest of your week looks pretty good too - assuming, of course, it all works as planned. ;)
