Sorry....but it is comfort food week

So when I was making my weekly grocery list I guess I may have been a bit cold. We are eating a little less healthy this week, so I apologize for that, but hopefully they will all be tasty. So I have been getting great feedback that people are enjoying the website!! I am so glad that people seem to actually be using it. Please keep up the comments and especially let me know how you liked the food and if you have any suggestions for menu ideas.

Monday- Bandera's Macho Salad
Tuesday- Baked Potato Soup
Wednesday- Crock Pot BBQ Chicken
Thursday- Honey Lime Enchiladas
Friday- Meatball Sandwiches

Bandera's Macho Salad

Picture and Recipe from Frugal Foodie Family. So even though this salad is NOT lowfat, it looks so yummy. I figured with the rest of the recipes this week, I def. needed some greens too. This recipe calls for dates, but I think I am going to use raisins instead (I just couldn't bring myself to buy dates) :) PREMAKE Corn bread for this recipe.



Baked Potato Soup

I have always wanted to make baked potato soup and I have to admit, I never have. I thought this recipe sounded good (Of course because it is from Our Best Bites). I hope it turns out tasty for everyone. Picture also from Our Best Bites. Serve with remaining corn bread from last night.
