The Merry Month of Maying.

In many ways, menu planning is a loathsome task. Don't I have deeper thoughts to ponder? Haven't I got better ways to engage myself? But the reality is, I love to eat, and I have small children to feed. Well, one small child and a husband to feed, really, and while I do eschew the idea of being a Hausfrau, I am, in fact, at home. I consider it a point of pride that my family not eat cold cereal for dinner more than twice a month, and so here I am, planning out the meals for the entire month of May.

I will skip Friday and Saturday nights. Friday night is Shabbat, and that's chicken soup with knaidlach and schnitzel. Saturday nights are left overs from the (over) abundances of the Shabbat's meals, or peanut butter and jelly.

So that breaks down to 19 dinners for May, minus three meals for leftovers, minimum. I can do this. Because if don't no one else will. I have gleaned (a.k.a. stolen) these recipes from a gajillion other sources and I have provided links to recipes where I found them.
Let's break it down by category, just for this month.
