Real Food Weekly Menu Plan #16 ~ An Even Simpler Menu

It's getting down to the wire, folks.  Little Riddle number five is due in 29 days.  Part of me wants to enjoy the last chance I get for a while to play with new recipes, but the nesting urge says to use that energy to stock the freezer, keep things tidy, and prune and weed the land while I can (and maybe even start some tomato plants to sit on our window sill).  We'll see...  In the meantime, I'm allowing for extra grace in the area of meals, so here's is what we'll be enjoying this week:
