Menu Plan Monday: July 25th, 2011!

This week Joe and I are getting ready to go away for a few days next week to attend a Steam show on the Eastern shore and set up a flea market stand.  So, this week will be full of straightening the house, packing clothes and food and stuff to sell, cleaning up the trailer to stay in while we are away, and probably a few other things that I have forgotten, but are on the to-do list.  So meals this week will be simple, and hopefully the weather will cooperate and be a little cooler...
