I have included every ingredient you will need this week. Look through the list to see what you will need and what you already have on hand. I keep my kitchen very well stocked, so my grocery list is not nearly this long. For instance, you probably already have salt, pepper, sugar, butter, vegetable oil, and mayo on hand.

I'll be back Monday night with the recipes for the day and our take on dinner. I read the reviews for the pork chops with green beans and pecans and everyone loved them. So I am really looking forward to dinner.
