Tonight- Crabs and macaroni at my parents' house

Rest of the week- I would like to try this recipe one night:

I have the makings for chili, so I will probably make that one night also, since it is one of DH's faves.

DH was drooling over Red Robin's Oktoberfest Burger last night when a commercial ran for it on TV and since I have a gift card, we may trek up there on Thursday night.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday- I have to work on Sat and Sun and I won't know what times until later in the week, so probably something quick and easy (pizza, leftovers, etc.)

sun- burgers al pastor, cilantro fries, dulce de leche banana cream pie

mon- veggie quesedillas, black beans and rice

tues- pork chops

weds- i have a work event so we will be doing something simple like leftovers or kielbasa and perogies. 

thurs- no idea.  we have ground beef so maybe a chili.

fri- sausage and peppers sandwiches

Monday: Some sort of canned soup, since that's all I want right now is soup.  it will be either Italian wedding or chicken and dumplings.

Tuesday: I have some soup mix from Harry and David that I would like to throw in the crock pot if possible since I have my big growth u/s.

Wednesday: I imagine leftovers.

Thursday: country chicken with mashed potatoes (this could be interchangeable with Wednesday)

Friday - Something easy but I don't know what yet.  Maybe just grilled cheese or something.

ering - please elaborate on these cilantro fries as I think my DH would go wild for them.

last night i made the veggie lasagna that i posted on the blog a few weeks back, along with some marinated chicken legs.  dh is out of town until tuesday night so i will be eating the leftovers until they are finished.

i also made crab and pepperjack bisque over the weekend that i will be eating for lunches.

might do a pork tenderloin on weds/thurs - i have some sweet potato gnocchi that i want to use up.

friday dh suggested we do a date night since we slept in separate rooms all week so i could have the bed and all my germs to myself   i had a horrible cold and now that it's gone, he is away haha.

jess- here is the link to the recipe.  it was good.  the only thing i did differently was add about 1/4c olive oil and make the cilantro and garlic more of a pesto so it wasn't leaves of cilantro on my fries.  they went well with the mexican-ish burgers.  you could probably make them with some sort of grilled chicken and peppers and make it a little gd friendly for yourself (or an easy meal once that kiddo comes out)

eta: the link..... ugh.

start with a basic white fish, tilapia or flounder, since that is easiest. place in a casserole dish and top it with some butter, chopped garlic, lemon, and white wine and bake about twenty minutes till the fish is white and not translucent

Anna - I do shrimp a lot...I keep it in the freezer and defrost for last minute dinners.  I cook shrimp for stir fries, pesto pasta, pad thai, or just marinated and grilled.

Also, like Kelly said - tilapia, flounder, any other white fish is really easy to bake.  I posted a couple good and easy salmon recipes on the blog a while back too.

I feel like we eat lots of chicken also.  DH does not like fish at all, whereas I love it.  He is very, very picky and likes things plain and simple.  If it was up to him, we'd eat pizza and cheesesteaks all week.  I, on the other hand, will try just about anything you put on my dish.  Meal planning definetly gets frustrating for me at times.
