This is the perfect side dish for just about any meat main dish, from meatloaf t0 leg of lamb. I LOVE scalloped potatoes. I didn’t used to make them because I worked and would get home so late to be able to put them in the oven and have them cooked in time for dinner, so to me they became a “special” side. Despite having my menu planning help me to know what to prepare when and how to have it ready in time for dinner, in my mind, scalloped potatoes are special.

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of April 12, 2010. We are currently in a beach house, so I am not making any breads this week. I did bring some homemade hamburger buns and some French bread loaves, so we’ll be utilizing them as the week goes on.
I’m not baking any goodies, either. I have ice cream in the freezer and fresh fruit galore, so we’re making do with that.
Pin ItI’m sitting on a beach in Florida with my kids, enjoying this beautiful April weather.
I’m taking the week off from my normal blogging schedule. Instead, I have different recipes queued to post daily.
But as I relax and take a break, please take a moment to enter this month’s give-away!
As we enter the beginning of gardening season, I could not help but offer the following as a give-away for the month of April
The Easter holiday is barely removed from its pagan background. Easter even gets its name from the pagan goddess of spring, Eostre. The myth has it that she rescued a bird whose wings were frozen from the winter wind by turning it into a rabbit. Because the rabbit had once been a bird, it could lay eggs. And there you have the modern Easter Bunny and Easter eggs.
