Menu Plan Monday: Five Star Edition

Still working on the recipes from 2 weeks ago.

• Polenta with Quick Mushroom-and-Meat Sauce 7 points Guess what, I really like polenta!  It's also a great option for those who can't have wehat.  Who knew?  The kids ate it up too.

• Fettuccine Alfred with Bacon 7 points  Just delicious as it sounds.  I think it's only 7 points, mainly because you only get a cup of pasta.  I needed at least 10 points to fill me up.  Sad news, but I'm sure a regular cream/parm cheese alfredo is at least 15 points -- for just a cup!
• New England Baked Beans -- 7 points  Totally everything you think baked beans should be.  A great foray into dried beans for those who haven't tried them before.  I made them in the crock pot.  I cooked the beans on the stove and then for the 2.5 hours of cooking time, I did it in the crock pot (I did it more like 3 hours on high, I think I could've done 4 hours on high -- I wanted them a little more cooked).  Also, this serving size is high.  I could easily do a 5 point serving. :)
• I made this for Family Home Evening tonight.  It looks absolutely delicious, but it's in the fridge.  I hope to give it five stars next weeks (5 points).
