Monday

Dovetailing Tips: The last two weeks have been easy on the dovetailing, but this week we will make the most of it. Today you will grate 2 1/4 cups of Parmesan. The will be plenty to get you through today, Tuesday, and Friday.

You can also get way ahead by doubling the salad recipe and saving the extras for Friday. If you don't want the same salad again, at least cut the greens while you are at it and make Friday's salad easy and quick!


Tuesday

Dovetailing Tips: Use 1/2 cup of your grated Parmesan. Also, if you opt to add pecans to today's Magic Cookie Bars, chop enough that you are ready to go tomorrow when you make your Truffle Pie!


Wednesday

Dovetailing Tips: Ah, onion day. Gotta love it, gotta hate it! At least we can do it all at once and enjoy the payoff more than once. Slice 4 onions and you will have plenty. Save 3 for tomorrow and use the 1/2 cup that today's recipe calls for.

Don't forget to use those pecans if you opted to chop them yesterday.


Thursday

Dovetailing Tips: You know I love a day that I can have all the flavor of an onion, without all the teary work of cutting it! Today is one of those days. Use the 3 sliced onions you prepared yesterday.

Get even further ahead on the week by slicing extra strawberries and any other fruit you use for your parfaits today. You will be able to add them to your Fruit Pizza quickly and enjoy this family favorite dessert!


Friday

Dovetailing Tips: I am so excited for this meal. Who doesn't love a meal that ends with Fruit Pizza? Use the Parmesan, salad leftovers, and cut fruit to make this delicious meal a cinch!
