Wes: 10/8/2012
Monday: Shepherd's Pie
Tuesday: Shrimp Quesadillas
Wednesday: Corn Dog Muffins with either salad or roasted parmesean cauliflower
Thursday: Chicken Pillows with steamed mixed veggies
Friday: Who knows? Maybe takeout Chinese?
Keeping it really easy this week since it is just me & DS until Sunday.
Today: I have a barbeque pork roast in the crockpot. I'll serve with roasted cauliflower
rest of the week:
-chicken fajitas
-shrimp stir fry
-ham steak
-turkey breast with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce
We have a baked ziti with eggplant parm in the freezer, and I think that is our other 2-night plan for this week. We aimed to do as little grocery shopping this weekend as possible.
Leftovers from a party yesterday and from the crockpot veggie soup I made on Friday for lunches.
BTW, the Heart Healthy Turkey and Veggie soup from the Crockin Girls website is DELISH. Next time, I'm going to add beans and leave out the ground turkey and just add some barley at the end instead. DH and I both agreed it would be better as just a veggie soup.
Sugar & Spice
Tues - Veggie chili made with lentils.
Wed - Leftover chili. Haha.
Thurs - Mexican lasagna

Leftovers are common when you only cook for two! : )
I found them on Pinterest. I never make the sauce though, because I am lazy. Not very healthy, but tasty and easy.
