Fresh-Start Winter Challenge Menu, Classic Week 1

Here's the menu for week 1 of the winter Cook for Good Fresh-Start Challenge.  Make these meals in just 20 minutes a day using the Starter Plan and recipes from Wildly Affordable Organic.  (Recipe titles are capitalized in the menus.) Complete the meals with your own favorites. This classic menu uses dairy and eggs, just like WAO. Here's the shopping list for this menu.

Notice how cooking just a few minutes a day adds up! If you continue cooking just 20 minutes a day, you'll be making about 60% of your food from scratch by the third week. For the second week of the Cook for Good Challenge, you'll be making all of your food from scratch.
