Weekly Menu Plan, Oct 13 – Oct 19

Last week, we liked the Chicken Enchilada Casserole even though I left out the cream cheese and altered a few other things.  I also made the macaroni and cheese with white cheddar, and it was so yummy like that!  Only one new recipe again this week, and we’ll probably just add the hot…
