overlapping menus for the week

apple nut butterscotch bars

beans w/ jalapenos & bacon

cantaloupes in front yard

So, here's the plan for this week:   I'm currently simmering some red beans with jalapenos and bacon.  Tonight, I'll make a chopped Southwest salad, with some of the beans, plus cut-up leftover Chicken Fried Steak, lettuce, tomato, onion, homemade salsa, red & green peppers and maybe some corn and crunched tortilla chips.   Tomorrow, I'll serve the rest of the beans with BBQ chicken.  The leftover BBQ chicken will go into a Greek salad with feta, kalamata olives, onion, cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce on Thursday.  Friday I plan to make potato salad and grilled pork chops ~ leftover potato salad with go with Morningside Sandwiches (BLT with over-easy egg on top) on Saturday.   I'll make some coleslaw to go with the BBQ chicken and pork chops too ~ and there's a huge bowl of fresh cantaloupe cut up (I actually picked my first cantaloupe from the vine yesterday!).    ~ Yesterday, I tossed together a batch of fresh apple nut butterscotch bars too.  So, it all sounds tasty ~ yet inexpensive.    (Recipes for jalapeno beans and apple nut butterscotch bars available in my eBay store)
