Food plan 122009

The week of Christmas. Unreal. It's amazing how time moves along more and more quickly as you get older.

This week's line-up:

• roast chicken with baked potato and steamed broccoli
• pizza
• chicken soup
• spaghetti with mushrooms and garlic bread
• meatloaf with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots
• Christmas ham
• leftovers

Nothing new here, just a bunch of stuff I've done before.  I wanted to keep it simple this week since my parents are expected in from MI and I have to do my Xmas shopping yet. I don't know if we'll stick to this plan, but I shopped for it anyway and grabbed some other stuff we might use for baking etc.
