Wednesday-Turkey burgers, roasted red potatoes, coleslaw
Thursday-Pork chops, quinoa, green beans (my first time trying quinoa...any good ideas?)

My DH and I love quinoa! We make it with yellow corn and black beans mixed in together..It's absolutely dilish!
Mon: Baked ziti with ground beef
Tues: Dinner at my parents (Baked Ham with brown rice)
Wednesday: Chicken and vegetables
Thursday: ???
Friday: Probably going out to dinner
BTW I don't cook much and tend to eat at the in-laws or my parents..I'm bad
?
Hey, if you don't mind driving over to their house, that is great for you... you don't have to worry about the cooking and cleanup, and you get to spend time with them.
For the first 1.5 yrs, I didn't cook either. We would take-out a lot, or eat at the in-laws. Slowly, I've actually begun to enjoy cooking. I'm not the best, and I make simple meals, but it can be fun. I like to try out new stuff.
I really enjoy cooking something for the first time, or even perfecting a previous meal, and really enjoying it and seeing DH enjoy it too. Self-gratification... it is nice to have a good meal, and know YOU cooked it and that you can do it (sounds cheesy).
