my mom's addition
to the Menu (if you don't blog, feel free to email me ideas, and I'll post them):
Here are two favorites and they both involve tortillas. And are Easy. One is Tortilla Pie
Grease a pie pan and put one tortilla on the bottom and spread with refried beans. Another tortilla and guacamole, another tortilla and salsa, another tortilla and cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 1/2 hour. voila! You can economize by making your own guacamole and salsa, but this is something between regular meal expense and eating out.
This week I have been employing a Southern Livng recipe (These are both from SL)
Mediterraanean Wrap
Spread a tortilla with cream cheese ( I have been using a spinach and herb tortilla) Lightly layer with chopped spinach, tomatoes, sliced olives, avocado and feta cheese. Roll up and cut in half diagonally. I used medium sized torts, but bigger ones would have been better. I don't like all that stuyff as much as Joel does, so I substituted a couple of foreign foods for shredded chicken, which I had in my refrigerator.

Hi J,
Just read your menu blogs. Your recipes sound great. My sister and I just subscribed to a great menu/ready made grocery list site. savingdinner.com The site was highly recommended by flylady.com (a fun place to stop for motivational house decluttering and tidying tips).
