February Dinner Menus

Happy February everyone! I  have to admit this is one of my favorite months of the year. It is short and it includes Valentine's day and my birthday! We have a LOT of activities going on this month. My school/parish Fish Fries start the Friday after Ash Wednesday and this year I've been hired to run the kitchen portion of this event. This means every Friday of Lent (except Good Friday) I will be transitioning directly from my cafeteria job to the fry job. It is a challenge I am actually looking forward to. It also means Friday night dinners are taken care of. :-). We also have plans to go out to dinner three additional times this month, a birthday party today, a fundraiser for the school my DIL works at, and a baby shower later in the month that takes place late enough in the afternoon that it should spill over into the dinner hour.
That left me with 18 dinners to plan. I am trying two new recipes this month. I am mostly going with the tried and true. Dinners using planned overs will have an asterisk, meals that are quick will be in italics, and meals using the slow cooker will be in bold. The one new recipe will be underlined.
