Menu Plan for the week of Feb 14 2011

Image via WikipediaSome weeks I love planning out the menu. Others it is just more work than I want to do. I have found I make much better use of my food when I take the time to quickly look through my pantry, fridge and freezer and decide what to cook for the week. Here is what I came up with for this week!

Eggs appear to have been heavy on my mind for breakfast this week. They are so good for you and so cheap at the same time. Well cheap is a relative word. I pay extra for organic pasture fed. But still cheap compared to grass fed beef! I am ordering pasture raised lamb this week, which I am excited about. I have never done that much with lamb...
