Tasty Tuesday

No recipes this week but I am sharing my March Menu Snapshot.  Once again I sat down to plan an idea menu for the month so I'm not scrounging for ideas when its time to go to the Teeter (haha that sounds funny ya'll....its Harris Teeter....ok you can tell I spend wayyy too much time around teenagers).

March in NC tends to be a bit chemically imbalanced. On Monday it may be 40 degrees and Tuesday 78 degrees.  Trust me after 33 years here I am pretty used to it...though I do spend many minutes in prayer that the 78 will stay forever.

With the weather being mentioned March is when I do two things (food wise):

1.  Stop the heavy foods.  Goodbye comfort foods, we don't need you, its warming up we need lighter fair so we can get outside and have fun.....not be drooling on our couch pillows.

2.  Hello GRILL!  (AKA HUBBY COOKS)

So cute, via....

When I plan a menu I always take into account the calendar.

How many days are in the month that I will actually be expected to cook....this time about 20-24.  I don't schedule a meal for Wednesdays because we eat on the way to church.  I also try to skip a weekend day because we generally order out.
