Old Fashion Apple Crisp and Menu Planning

Last night I made an apple crisp for dessert and it came out so yummy! I used Ina Gartner's recipe {but ommitted the lemon and orange add-in's as other reviewers recommended, as I didn't think we would like the extra ingredients either}. The best part of an apple crisp is the topping and this one is gooood!! I only had 3 pounds of apples on hand {the recipe calls for 5 pounds} so if you follow the recipe, you will have more apple filling than what's seen in my photos below. The recipe for Old Fashion Apple Crisp can be found here.

I planned out my meals, and accompanying desserts, for the next 3 weeks. Wanna know what we're having?.....
