Still need to plan your Thanksgiving menu? If you're looking for inspiration, then check out this fantastic round-up Classic Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes on Taste As You Go! You know how some people get really excited about the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks? That's how excited I get about turning the calendar over to November. Because November means the coming of the holiday season and the celebration of Thanksgiving.

Menu Plan: May 20 - May 25, 2013

Monday: Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles from Buns In My Oven
Tuesday: Filet Mignon with Fiery Pomegranate Sauce, Jasmine Rice, and Sugar Snap Peas
Wednesday: Stephen's Choice
Thursday: Herb Grilled Chicken with Creamy Broccoli Orzo from Smells Like Home
Friday: Spinach and Ricotta Pizza
Saturday: Pretzel Roll Surprise

Two special items of note:

* I forgot to buy broccoli when I was at the grocery store this morning. Looks like I'll need to make at least one additional trip to Giant this week.

* Last week, I received a shipment of pretzel rolls from company located just outside of Chicago, so I'll be experimenting with the rolls for Saturday night's dinner.

What's on your Menu Plan this week?
