Menu Ideas
Please share your menu ideas here. If you can, please list a complete meal (the main dish and what you normally serve with it).
For any of the menu ideas you post, if you have posted the recipe on GCM or there is a recipe that you use that is elsewhere online, it's be great if you would include a link to the recipe. After you post your meal ideas, they will be added to the running list, and your post will be deleted. TIA for sharing!
