Food Plan and Grocery List, Week of 022711

It's cold here in SoCal. 48°F. Cold and wet. We're talking rain. And hail. In Orange County. This sucks. And it makes me want to be comfortable. I don't know how to turn on my heater. Even if I did, it's blocked by the desk I sit at right now. That means my oven is on. Almost all of the time. As I type even. May just as well get some use out of the heat.

I have some fresh rosemary left from the beef stew of last week and I want to make good use of that instead of letting it wither in my fridge. Chickens are on sale. I want to do a redo of the Roast Veggies. That said,

the line-up this week:

• Beef and Veggie Meat Loaf
• Oven-Roasted Veggies, Take 2
• Rosemary Chicken Lasagna
• Alabama Backwood BBQ Chicken
• No-Stir Butternut Squash and Rosemary Risotto
