My Pinterest Menu: Week of March 3rd

This week is going to be a big blur...so casseroles, salad and soup sound good.  I need to be able to make it ahead of time...or really quick. I picked this week's recipes purely for that reason...and because they all look delicious : )

Some highlights from last week were the Sesame Orange Shrimp and the Balsamic Roast Beef French Dip Sandwiches.  Both were crazy good!  I hate to run...but my day started about 3 hours ago, and I already feel behind. 

Here is this week's menu... Enjoy : )
