How is it already March? ;-)

We've got a somewhat busier than normal week and I noticed an abundance of little leftovers stowed in my freezer which works out perfectly. It's always nice when I don't have to plan a whole week of meals from scratch.

Oh, and I thought I'd add what I'm baking this week as well; I am spoiled by having a bread machine and I use it EVERY week. I usually bake cookies for the kiddos each week, too. Now that it's Lent and I'm not eating sweets, a batch of cookies will probably last two weeks...*a-hem*...I am a total sugar addict!

What I'm Baking on Monday

Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls
(I don't add nuts; I use brown sugar in the filling with the butter and cinnamon; I glaze them with cream cheese icing.)

Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies

Here's what we're having this week!

Monday

Leftover Spectacular!

(I have two different meetings on Monday afternoon and evening so this is the perfect night to empty the freezer and reclaim my Gladware!!)

Tuesday

Baked Penne with Italian Sausage + Crescent Rolls + Salad

Wednesday

Crockpot Chicken & Dumplings Recipe + Salad
(I add a splash of lemon juice to the broth; it tastes fantastic with the thyme in the recipe. And feel free to start with shredded chicken you pre-cooked for the recipe.)
