May Dinner Menus

Menu plannerI'm getting a really late start on these menus. We've mostly had dinners on the fly the last few days. I spent the weekend dog sitting at the GF's house and went out to eat once with my youngest daughter then grilled some chicken and served it with baked potatoes and corn on Saturday and on Sunday after the GF got home we took the kids out to dinner for Cinco De Mayo to a new Mexican restaurant we'd be meaning to try. Monday was the tortellini dish I blogged about and last night was my bowling banquet. We have plans for four remaining days this month, dinner out with friends this coming Friday night, Mother's Day at my oldest son's home, a picnic on Memorial Day weekend and the last day of the month we will be traveling out of town to a wedding.
This left 21 more meals to plan for. I decided to pare back my spending on groceries this month and use up some of the meat/poultry/fish in the freezer as well. Meals using food already on hand are in bold, new recipes are in italics, and recipes using planned overs have an asterisk.
