Menu for Week of May 31st

You would think we would be grilling out today since it is Memorial Day and cook-outs seem to be the norm. But our grill propane tank went empty and hubby hasn't replaced it yet and we just have too much on our plate right now to fool with it. Maybe we will get to it later in the week.
