Menu Plan Monday

Wow, I can't believe so much time has gone by since my last entry. I've been keeping busy:

• following up on the pending sale of the Kernersville house. Negotiating with the buyers over repair costs; faxing urgent paperwork; keeping FedEx and UPS in business with overnight mailings. Still no closing date, but it can't come too soon!
• keeping my house cleaning business going until the job at CMS comes through
• submitting my application for the job at CMS (a story in itself, and probably not very entertaining except to those involved). I had an interview scheduled last Friday, but at the last minute, the manager had to cancel. Tentatively rescheduled for Wednesday (two days).
• organizing my finances in Quicken (checking account, VISA) and working out a budget. This was a lot of work, and this story needs to be told, as I hope others can benefit from some of my ideas -- separate post to follow in the next couple weeks.

Without further ado, this is what we have planned for this week. All the dishes were cooked yesterday, as usual, so we should stick to the plan, since all the hard work is done!

Monday: Szechuan beef stir fry ; rice; Indian-spiced green beans

Tuesday: Sausage and herb lasagna; tossed salad

Wednesday: Chicken Breasts with Italian Dressing; tossed salad

Thursday: Leftover stir fry

Friday: Leftover lasagna

And for dessert this week: Apple cranberry crisp
