Bills of Fare for January: Plain Family Dinners
The astounding variety in each of these dinner menus makes the reader wonder what a fancy dinner would look like! Of note, our family enjoys apple sauce. We should eat it as a side dish.
Check out the cabinet pudding recipe, similar to the one included in our weekly menu below. This is relatively easy, delicious, and a good use of leftover bakery bits.
Are we inspired yet?!?

One can’t ignore the thriftiness–using elements of one meal to create the next. These snippets are so interesting.
