This week is going to be a big blur...so casseroles, salad and soup sound good. I need to be able to make it ahead of time...or really quick. I picked this week's recipes purely for that reason...and because they all look delicious : )
Some highlights from last week were the Sesame Orange Shrimp and the Balsamic Roast Beef French Dip Sandwiches. Both were crazy good! I hate to run...but my day started about 3 hours ago, and I already feel behind.
Here is this week's menu... Enjoy : )
