We've got plans to make a couple goodies for Easter, and continue our sorting and cleaning efforts, but by and large, I've got to keep grocery costs down in spite of the holiday (or, more specifically, in order to make room for the holiday). I don't at this point know if I'm hosting Easter dinner for my daughter's family or if it's just the two of us. (Sadly, Michael can't make it out this weekend, which has me more than a little bummed, even though I understand it.) I'm not too worried about it - if it's just Deanna and me, there will be enough for leftovers... there will be room to stretch to accomodate whoever winds up at the table.
So here's the plan for the week (including Easter Sunday):
Tonight:
Clean out the refrigerator smorgasbord.
We've got lots of odds and ends - salad, cole slaw, red cabbage and apples, some ham and potatoes, some veggies and cut fruit. I'll be making up a skillet combination of ground beef, mixed beans and brown rice out of some of the leftovers and setting out the rest to get finished off.

Salad
Beef Burritos
Refried Black Beans
Brown Rice Spanish Rice
