FSP Week 9

I'll admit that I'm getting a little burnt out...  I haven't blogged in so long, so this constant updating is tiresome ;)  Also, the husband is starting to gripe about canned chicken because chicken thighs are sooooo much better.  And I'm tired of experimenting with canned vegetables.  But, BUT!, I have enjoyed knowing exactly what it is I'll be making for dinner and it's still fun to challenge myself to make sure these meals are as palatable as possible.  So, here we go: on to week 9 (only one more month left).  We got this!
