NBR: Weekly Menu - What's on yours?
There was some interest in doing this weekly, so let's share!
I'm not cooking much this week. I have two concerts to go to and a hair appointment. Tonight I'm doing something quick, probably Texas Hash and corn on the cob. I'll do chicken with a brown sugar and mustard glaze on the grill if the weather is good. I also have stuff for chicken Suiza tacos.
What's on your menus this week?

I made a lot of chili in the crockpot yesterday, so we're going to eat that a few days this week.
I think DH said he's planning to make some kind of asian chicken/veggie stir fry with rice.
We're hoping to use up some breaded and frozen eggplant that's been in our freezer for ages, so I think we might also have eggplant parm one night. I dislike because the eggplant is sliced really thick, so I dread when DH makes me eat it. I usually end up just having a bowl of pasta, eating 3 bites of my eggplant and then telling Dh he can finish mine.
