Menu Planning Monday

I am participating in Menu Planning Monday hosted over at I'm An Organizing Junkie.
I posted this over on the "Beans Blog" too.
Technically it is still Monday here in Alaska. 10:30pm to be exact. I was so excited to join in Menu Planning Monday because I ACTUALLY had a list, and was going shopping today! I had to post! Here is our menu for the week:These are all new recipes for us. I can say that tonight's recipe "Turkey Loaf to Live By" was excellent. You can see a photo at the end of my post. I will type out the recipe on the "Beans Blog" tomorrow.

Here's my grocery tab for this week:
