Menu and Grocery List

My sister Michelle and I both have the Taste of Home Cookbook (it's burgundy). We recently picked it up at Costco and we've found it to be fabulous for family meals. In case you picked one up too and would like to follow along as we plan and cook, here is our menu and grocery list. Please note that I also put spaghetti noodles and sauce in the grocery list as a "just in case we're in a rush" meal. Don't be too intimidated by the list of spices on the grocery list. You probably already have most of them.
