Meal Plans Jan 23rd-29th

Weighing In: 242

Lots of really good sales this week at Price Chopper! Mangos were on sale so I rummaged around and found a recipe that used mangos. We'll see how it turns out! I've never had mangos except in a canned fruit cocktail.

One change to the way I'm posting recipes. If there is a link to the recipe I'll just post that and note any modifications I'm making. If it's from a cookbook I'll write it all out as usual.

Instead of Arugula I'm using Spinach since I have a whole bag and it was on sale. I may put a little bacon or shredded chicken on top as well.
