Their Cobb Salad is what I get there....so yummy!

I am truly in AWE (how do I spell that word anyway?!) in Cheryl's menu plan for the whole month. I have no idea from day to day and there would be no way to make a plan like that. That is just awesome! My meals might possibly get discussed the night before and since they are so very simple meals we don't give it a lot of thought. We do however have a general idea what it is going to be. Since I have no prepackaged anything in the pantry it all has to be made from scratch. Last night was all the leftovers in the fridge and it was a vegetable beef barley soup! So good. I used yellow tomato puree and the last of the ketchup in the bottle along with leftover beef roast, cubed potatoes, some onion, carrots, celery, roasted red peppers and green beans. It was a cool night and it really hit the spot.

Today will be 3 leftover hotdogs and baked beans. Maybe a salad if we're still hungry.  This is as far as my planning is going. But assuredly, there will be something on Thurs. but I just don't what yet.

It might be some yellow beans and squash my dad gave me yesterday.  I can't wait to dig into that butternut squash. His garden probably has about 50 of them almost ready to harvest!

I might grab a few ideas from Cheryl's meal plan though since many of them look good and are things I had forgotten that could be an easy meal.

Beth, your meals sound delicious.  I especially like Wednesday's.  If I leave now, I could be in NC by then.
