Things We Eat

This is a running list I keep of dinners that were tasty, or hypothetical dinners that sound good, or dinners I intend to make someday. I started this list when a friend told me about hers, and it's awfully handy when I'm staring at the week's meal plan, trying to think of what we might want to eat for the next six or seven days. If I'm feeling extra-efficient, when I complete a week's meal plan, I add any new combinations to the list. They're not in any particular order, but are sorted into full menus, entrees, side dishes, salads, soups/stews and slow-cooker faves.
