What's for supper??

You know, I used to ask myself this question every single night. At 5pm. When supper was already supposed to be on the table, and husband and child are cranky from hunger. I would read about menu planning and kind of snicker. "That'll never work around here," I told myself. I'm so glad I've seen the light! I tried it for one week...you know, just to see...and I was amazed at the difference it made--not only in my newly-found ease of getting a good supper on the table, but also in the money I'd save during my weekly grocery trips! I'll go into a little more detail of my menu planning in a later post, but for now, I thought I'd share what's hitting the table tonight.

Pork chops in mushroom sauce
Mashed potatoes (homemade, which is an accomplishment for me)
Butter beans (Southerners don't like saying "lima beans" lol)
Homemade yeast rolls

Dessert is rather iffy, as MD likes to "help" me when I'm baking, and we don't need Stomach Bug Sugar Cookies tonight!
