Meal Plan Monday Nov. 21

I mentioned last week that I was going to try the Sweet Potato Crescent Rolls recipe.  It was with great satisfaction that I served homemade crescent rolls at dinner for the first time last week and listened while my family asked for seconds. :)

With my new-found confidence in baking with yeast, I'm going to make Cream Cheese Braids to serve with our Thanksgiving meal.  This is a lot different from traditional rolls, but I thought this bread that is made with pineapple, cream cheese and sour cream would add a special touch to our meal.  If all goes well, I hope to share the recipe this week.

I've tried to keep my meal plan fairly simple this week so that I don't get too overwhelmed with the extra baking for Thanksgiving.  Here's what's cooking in my kitchen:

Breakfast

Waffles
Baked Banana Oatmeal

Cheese Quesadillas, Tomato Soup
Ham Sandwiches, Apple Slices
Tuna Salad Sandwiches, Yogurt
