Menu 2015: March 2-April 5

It's going to be a busy month full of school, church activities, and wedding sewing so I've got lots of slow cooker or quick and simple dishes on the menu.
March 2-8

• Blackened Chicken and dirty rice
• National Cold Cuts Day (3/3) - cold cut flatbread sandwiches, roasted cauliflower, and fruit salad
• Swai Vera Cruz 
• Roast chicken (slow cooker), mashed parsnip and potatoes, and roasted carrots 
• Winter vegetable soup

March 9-15

• Black bean and chicken flatbread paninis, steamed veggies, and side salad
• National Ranch Dressing Day (3/10) - I didn't know there was such a day, but since there is we will be celebrating with chef salads
• National "Eat your Noodles" Day (3/11) - Spaghetti and meatballs (pop frozen meatballs and jarred marinara sauce into a slow cooker and let it sit on low all day), steamed broccoli, side salad, and roasted garlic bread
• National Chicken Noodle Soup Day (3/13) - obviously, chicken noodle soup is on the menu (slow cooker)

• National Ravioli Day (3/20) - homemade ravioli (still deciding what kind) with garlic cream sauce, steamed broccoli, and side salad
