    I have no clue.  MH is working early this week so he's in charge of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

    These are in no particular order.

    Lean Cuisine meal
    Veggie pasta with some kind of meat sauce.
    Chicken
    Eye Round Steaks
    Pork chops

    We went to the nutritionist on Saturday so we're going to have to change how we prepare some of these.

  • @packfan20, I have. I don't find it too spicy. You could always leave out the red pepper flakes if you don't like spicy, or add more if you wanted it spicier, of course.
