OK i think the rest of this menu is more about what we have and need to use up! veggie soup. 10# of chicken leg qtrs to bake, pick, and make more broth: the meat is for taquitos etc. Another roast for when bo's home. Giant baking potatoes. Lots of lettuce for salads. Ground meat for tacos/burritos/manwich. Tamale pie leftovers will be an easy re-heat. Bananas for freezer = smoothies.
