Hmmm...I might have to travel to WI to dine with Janet! I'm trying the Beef Enchilada Pie from Its Good For You, using ground turkey instead of beef, and reduced-fat cheese.

I'm trying to plan out my meals for the week so I don't waste $ at the store and/or eat junk food.

She always does!!!! I think we should all make a road trip and see if she really makes what she says, 'cause she puts us all to shame! :p
 
Oh my goodness - I just realized I made Apple Cinnamon muffins in the mini fluted pan yesterday and didn't eat a single one for breakfast! Yikes!Oh well, there is always tomorrow!
 
I'll set an extra plate anytime!!
 
As I'm off to Walmart (it's the last day to donate school supplies) I think I will stop by Wendy's on my way home for a chicken sandwich and baked potato. Then home to do some laundry and watch 90210! What a fabulous way to spend a day off!
 
We had chicken sauteed with onions and some pre-made rice that I bought at Trader Joe's. It had chimichurri in it. That's a South American seasoning blend. It was really good - definitely going on the "buy again" list!
