Food Plan and Grocery List, 020710

Last week worked out well. There was a sudden influx of free avocadoes which meant we had a lot of guacamole frequently, calling for a change-up in the menu. We had a bunch of food leftover so the weekend was easy meal-wise, think tacos, tacos, tacos.

This week I'm going to get to the dishes I didn't do last week, plus there's a new one:

• Chicken Chilaquiles and Mexican rice
• Spinach Salad with Warm Maple-Mustard Dressing
• Shrimp Linguine (an oldie but a goodie)
• Winter Fruit Salad with Parmesan Puff-Pastry Croutons
• Oven-Fried Chicken with corn on the cob and mashed potatoes
• Crispy-Topped Herbed Fish Fillets
• Seared Autumn Vegetables
• Some sort of wings (they're taking over my freezer) with yam fries? And roast brussel sprouts?
