Grafton WI.
Well, we made it over a month eating in for dinners. Not one dinner eaten out of the house and no takeout cheats either! On Saturday night, we stopped at Senor Luna in Grafton, WI. This little “burb” town north of Milwaukee has a nice small town feel. A few nice restaurants and lots of

Mango Chutney - Pork.
What a long week! I’m really looking forward to the weekend. Have to come up with a meal plan for the next week or two. Not having been out to eat in nearly three weeks, I have to come up with some meals that will continue to keep me excited about not going out. A
