Menu Plan for the Week of January 13th

Hope you are staying warm and comfortable wherever you call home. Once again as typically happens around the first of the year, I feel the strong urge to clean out my pantry and freezers, and use up what I have on hand. That being said, you may find some repeats from the last few weeks on my menu plan. Although I love Christmas, I am glad to have a lot of that extra busyness behind, and am finding more time to devote to getting my house back in order, which includes purging, cleaning and getting organized in lots of areas!
