I can’t believe we are already closing out another year. I want to thank all of you who participate in our Menu Monday whether in the comments or on your own blogs. I am very excited about what the new year has in store for all of us. I am quite eager to reveal some big changes here at Home Ec 101, but for the moment a teaser is all you’ll get.

I can’t wait to compare your baked Mac-n-Cheese recipe with mine! ;o)
I have a ton of leftover Christmas ham, so we’re going to be hamming it up for a while…ham-n-beans, ham omlette, ham salad…
I’m not a huge fan of baked macaroni and cheese, so I was really surprised when I found myself going back for seconds on Thanksgiving.
Mmmm I love baked Mac and cheese!
I too want to compare recipes. Baked mac & cheese is a top favorite here…and so simple. I’m not a fan of stove top mac..but I love the thickness of baked. You just reminded me of another way to rid ourselves of left over Christmas ham…
Your menu sounds really good this week. I have never heard of tomato gravy before, but I am willing to try it. It looks really good.
A little behind the curve this week—
Monday- Chicken noodle soup (from the leftover roast chicken, bones and roaster fond), salad, bread, fresh pineapple
Tuesday- Split pea and ham soup (from the leftover ham and bones), salad, garlic bread.
Wednesday- Big treat! Smoked salmon spread, assorted cheeses/sausages, fruit, crackers for appetizers. Grilled rib eye steaks, baked potatoes with all the fixin’s, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed sweet onions in butter, fresh spinach creamed with boursin and wine- of course!!. Happy New Year!
Thursday- Spanish rice and beans with ham. Fresh pineapple (if any left!) Salads.
Friday- (Hub’s birthday request) Chicken picatta with lemon/caper sauce, fresh linguine with light garlic butter, mushrooms/green bean combo, salad with his favorite favorite restaurant’s “house” dressing. (Going to try to reproduce it.) Hot, crusty rolls. White chocolate/macadamia nut and chocolate chip cookies.
Saturday- Clean out the refrigerator day.
Sunday- Homemade pizzas (on pita breads), salads, fruit.
We have a strong Italian heritage, so when I think of tomato gravy, I think “sauce”.
Your recipe sounds delish. Will have to try.
Great menu! Have a Happy New Year!

We loved the tomato gravy. We had it twice in one week, it is very versatile so it is a great staple recipe. Thanks for the lesson!
