$60.00 A Week Grocery Budget Challenge

I did not get cinnamon rolls made last weekend as I'd hoped.  So I made them yesterday.  And they were deeeeeelicious.  They will be our special treat for this week.

I will be trying 2 new recipes this week - Mongolian Beef and Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups.  I love cookbooks and look through them regularly but am not always so good about remembering to add a dish or two to the upcoming menu plan. This week 2 intrigued me.  My problem in trying new recipes, however, is that I always want to tweak them.  Not a bad thing, I suppose, but I really should try them the way they are written first.  But I don't.  I always have planned changes.  This week is no different.
