My Pinterest Menu: Week of February 24th

Last week, I was playing catch-up a little bit.  We had two special dinner night outs, so I still have a couple recipes to try out this week.  Some winners from last week's menu are the Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas and the Shrimp Etoufee.  I have not made the Fried Chicken and Waffle sandwiches yet, but I am thinking they will be perfect on a warm Saturday afternoon...which it looks as if we may be having  this week.  

I have tried to not repeat the same type of seafood from week to week, but when I saw the Sesame Orange Shrimp recipe, I had to do it.  

Here is this week's menu...Enjoy : )
