November Dinner Menus

Month of November Turkey Clip Art Image - the word November in brown ...  About thirty minutes of diligent work and I have come up with my menu plan for November. I have several off days this month, no school on election day and the entire week of Thanksgiving off.  My standard quick/slow/quick weekdays are in play for the weeks I am working. Some menus that don't fit into those categories are for my off days. I have one birthday child this month that we will be going out to eat with as well as a Ladies Raffle one Friday night. The remainder of working Friday night's are GF's choice since I work until 6:30. This means either he cooks or as is more likely we go out. LOL. The holiday will be spent with my sister M at her house as is our tradition. No word yet on what my assignment will be. I am trying a couple of new recipe from Gooseberry Patch's Slow Cooker Fall Favorites but the majority of the recipes are tried and true family faves.

  1. Nice menus. I see several dinners showcasing what has become quite pricey meats. Do you have a local source for more affordable meats? things already in the freezer, bought on sale? or do you manouver your budget in other areas so as to afford these cuts? I am struggling with meat prices, and fear the worst is far from over. Youtr thoughts?
