I am adding something new here. I always struggle during the week with what to cook. One thing that has helped me is creating a menu that I can follow.

“Goodbye Summer” salad
When I think salad I don't necessarily think "entree". That's not true thought, is it. Many restaurants serve salads as entrees and done right, salads can be filling and satisfying.
