i'm SO hungry!!! (menu)

my baby has really grown an appetite lately.  i'm excited to see if he's going to be a boy or a girl... but that's not for another week.  two weeks actually. 
anyway, even with my appetite, i had a really difficult time finding ideas for my menu.  i guess i didn't really have a hard time finding IDEAS, just a hard time DECIDING.  following this post i will link a few idea blogs that i've found helpful.

here's my menu (with lots of new recipes to try):

• spaghetti
• beef stew (tryin' a new recipe and it's a crockpot recipe) with a new homemade bread
• adobe chicken stew with another new homemade bread
• stuffed peppers with garlic toast and macaroni and cheese
• layered chicken and black bean enchilada casserole with rice
• a new recipe for pork chops with mashed potatoes and broccoli
• crock pot hawaiian bbq chicken (new) with rice
• and lastly... apple harvest soup with pork steaks  (we got a half-basketful of fresh picked apples from my brother and sister-i-l this weekend.  i wanted to hoard them all for applesauce and desserts, but thought this soup might be fun to try.)
