February menu

This month will be crazy. Every Monday and Wednesday, I'll be at class while Jay stuffs food in the girls' mouths and shuffles them to dance/4-H or religious education. Despite that crazy schedule, we are determined as ever to minimize our eating out and see how-low-can-we-go with our food budget. I need food to take with me for lunch and supper on MWs, and we need to cook things that are either crockpot or are fast and easy. The nice balance is there are three big events this month that require some food fun: Valentine's Day, Natalie's birthday, and the start of Lent. With that in mind, here is our very simplistic, cheap, and quick February 2010 menu:
