to assist me with menu ideas.
It has been quite a while since I entered any MenuDay posts and quite frankly I've found myself in a rut. So, I thought it would be fun to invite all the wonderful cooks and homemakers out here in blog land to assist me with some menu ideas for the next week or two.
I would really like to cook from my "pantry" this week and avoid the grocer, if possible. All recipes or ideas should serve 6. Below is a list of what I have on hand.

ReplyDeleteMrs.A,

My mom used to make a dish that I loved as a child and when I make it, my ENTIRE family enjoys it. That is no easy feat! I don't have an exact recipe,but.. Using a 9 x 13 pan, fill the bottom of the pan with chicken pieces and cubed potatoes. Bake. When it is almost done put a layer of green beans on top. Then coat the entire dish with a cheese sauce (I use queso). Bake about 10 more minutes and then serve. Yum.
