Menu Planning 12/5 - 12/11

I had Pecan chicken on my plan last week and when I took meat out of the freezer, I accidentally pulled pork and not chicken!  So I'm going to try again for this week!  Roast sounds really good this week and so does country fried steak.  We still have to pick up the meat to do both, but both sound really good to me right now!
