Menu thread 1-2-11

OK, I need to get back on track with planning my meals, so here's what I am thinking so far:

Sun. For brunch- the baked french toast recipe recently posted, bacon

Dinner- Pulled pork (sandwiches on potato rolls for DH, plain for me), baked macaroni and cheese

Mon.- Beef stew in the dutch oven with carrots, potatoes and peas over buttered noodles

Tues.- Rigatoni ala vodka with baby spinach (and maybe chicken), salad

Wed.- Dinner at parents

Thurs.- Shredded pork tacos, rice, black beans, fresh guacamole

Fri- Take out or left overs
