Menu Planning Monday - Easy Baked Sweet Potatoes Recipe

After taking advantage of some sales on meats in the past two weeks, I didn't buy any meat this week when grocery shopping, so meals this week are planned around what is already in the freezer. On Wednesday and Friday I babysit for my 2 yr old grandson. He leaves around 5:30pm, and meals on those days need to be quick and easy, so I can have time to collapse in my chair for awhile! (Yes, he wears me out!) In an effort to cut down on our grocery budget, I've recently incorporated one meatless meal each week.
