Remember my menu planning is a flexible menu.
Having a list of meals I know I have available to choose from keeps me flexible but focused at the same time.
Everything we are preparing for the week may not necessarily be something that I bought this week. I have quick a stockpile in my pantry and freezers that I can choose from.

hey Cindy, Have you ever made Cheeseburger Pie using the Bisquick recipe? If you doctor it with some seasoning, it comes out delicious, even using ground Turkey. I add in a squeeze of ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley. But you can tailor it any way you like. I have added salsa and used the Mexican blend shredded cheese for a change, and my friend has used BBQ sauce to add flare. I double the recipe and put it in a glass 9×13 casserole dish. Here's the recipe from Bisquick:http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes.aspx/impossibly-easy-cheeseburger-pie
Thanks!! Sounds yummy. I will definitely try that.
