Monthly Menu May 2022

 Wow, it's been awhile. I had a good tax season - my mind was sharp, I worked hard, and prepared a lot of returns; but, it took all of my energy and I am just now getting some back. (Who am I talking to? My future self, for when I go to look at past menus and I ask myself why I never have anything for April and May!) I have been writing menus, just not posting them, and they often don't get used because we wind up not eating dinner, just having a salad, or getting takeout. So let's get started with a partial May menu.

16 Mon Italian sausage tortellini with thin sliced zucchini in marinara sauce

17 Tue Crock Pot barbecue chicken, steamed sweet potatoes, Brussel sprouts
