February Menus

  I have finally finished up my menu plans for February. We have several special events coming up for which I do not need to have a dinner plan in place. We have one wedding, one 50th anniversary party, a Super Bowl party, and a Night at the Races fundraiser all in February. I am sure we will also attend at least one Fish Fry at my school but I made up dinner menus for all Fridays just in case we decide not to. Even after doing the Pantry Challenge this month I still have quite a bit of meat and fish in the deep freezer and a lot of canned goods on the shelves. I took this into account when coming up with these menus. I will do a shopping list based on the menus as well as taking a look at what needs restocking in the pantry and what we need to have on hand for breakfast and weekend lunches.
New recipes that I am going to try out are in bold. Recipes using planned over ingredients have an * next to them.
