Menu Plan Monday: December 7
6Dec2009 Filed under: Menu Plan Monday Author: twobarefeet
For those new to the Kitchen, I link recipes that are linkable in my Monday post, but always post the recipe the day it is made and when I can, post a picture as well as my review of it in the comments. So if you are intrigued by a dinner, come on back to see what we thought!
Also, not every day is a new recipe. On days where I’m cooking something we already know and love, I try to link to the original post so that you can still try it, but I pose a Question of the Day that I would love feedback on. On days where we are doing Fend For Yourself (FFY) Buffet, I post something that I “covet” for your review and commentary.
This is an abbreviated MPM since I am away in Puerto Rico to celebrate my 30th birthday. I’ll be easing myself back into cooking upon our return. 
Monday – Puerto Rico!
Tuesday – Puerto Rico… and Happy Birthday to ME!!!
Wednesday – we’re landing at the airport at 5pm, so we’re grabbing a bite in the city before we head home in hopes that we’ll miss traffic.
Thursday – chicken fricassee (from freezer)
Friday – soup and sandwiches
Saturday – breakfast for dinner
Sunday – Kielbasa and baked beans
About this blog
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.
