Whats For Dinner Next Week 12-4-11

It is really cold outside this morning, we have all our plants in the barn now to keep them all warm and cozy until next spring. We have just made a fire in the outdoor fireplace, I will  get  you a cup of hot chocolate and  you can  sit by the fire with me. When we are all rushing around trying to get everything done before a certain date, sometimes its just nice to sit with a friend and visit for a little bit. Let's get busy on this menu for next week.

  1. You are so smart to plan your meals for the week. The Tuesday meal with cornbread and beans reminds me of my southern roots.

  3. I am going to give the Slow Cooker Smothered Ribs a try. I will have to leave out the cabbage to get it around hubby. Love beans and corn bread, but haven't had it for ages. Will have to remember that. Thanks for sharing a great menu as always.
