Dovetailing Tips: No surprises here - I am going to tell you to do all the onion cutting at once, just like I do every week! :) Quarter the 2 you need for this recipe and dice 1/2 cup for tomorrow!

Bonus Tips and Tricks: If you put your onions in the freezer for about an hour before cutting them they will be much less potent and cause you to cry less!

Wednesday

Gnocchi Alfredo Casserole
Fresh Vegetable Casserole
Strawberry Crumble Bars

Dovetailing Tips: Use the onion you diced yesterday and you have saved yourself some work today.

Now you get to really get ahead for later in the week. Cut an extra bunch of broccoli into florets and 12 ounces of carrots into baby carrot size pieces (unless you prefer buying actual baby carrots, but they are more expensive). Also grate 2 cups of parmesan cheese today and you will have what you need for this meal and Friday's.

Thursday

Caesar Chicken with Orzo
Country French Apple Crescent Casserole

Friday

Calico Seafood Bake
Steamed Fresh Vegetables with Lemon Butter
Fruit Kabobs with Yogurt

Dovetailing Tips: Today you get to use the parmesan and vegetables you have ready to go!
