I didn't spend a great deal of time planning this week's menu plan. I checked out the newest Taste of Home Cookbook from the library and spent a few minutes flipping through the pages to get some good ideas of what to make with what I have on hand. I rarely write up a menu and then grocery shop around it. I do it the other way around - look at the cupboards, refrigerator and freezer and then plan accordingly. That way I can buy whatever's on sale and I have coupons to match to make the most of our money.
We cleaned out a bit of our sorry garden tonight because the weather center issued a frost warning for tonight. Good grief! It's not even September yet! Anyway, this week's menu reflects the garden odds and ends.

Baked Steak & Gravy (done in crockpot)
Baked Potatoes (done in microwave)
