Menu Mondays

Happy Monday All,

Well, are you all thawed out yet? It seems this past week the East Coast was nothing but frigid temperatures and tons of snow. We got over 12 inches and it seemed to not stop falling. I found a dish to help you take the chill out of January. How about a big bowl of stew! Nothing like stew to warm you up on those chilly January days. Now, if you are on the West Coast this is still a great dish to try out as well. This dish offers a nice twist on stews and also help stretch your dollar at the table. Just add the meat and a few basic vegetables for an easy, satisfying dish.
