Back to School Menus?

So now that Summer is winding down (this one was a fast one, wasn't it?!), is everyone starting to get back into a more structured schedule, including planned dinners? I'm trying hard at getting back on track.

Friday: Ordered in pizza

Saturday:  DH surprised me the magical words, "Dinner out!" and so we enjoy the Outback

Sunday: Val's Spicy Baked Shrimp, served over thin spaghetti (I did NOT use 3/4-lb of butter, which may be why it could have been saucier, but it was really, really good and a big hit. I only used a 1-lb bag of frozen shrimp, boiled of course, and then omitted the garlic and chili powder due to personal tastes.)

Monday:  BLTs with the extra bacon from Sunday's dinner (rather than freezing it)

Tuesday: Chicken nuggets and fries for the boys, crab-stuffed salmon and vegetable-stuffed pepper for DH and I (a local grocery store down here had them in their fresh fish section and it just looked really good!)

Wednesday: Beef and Cheddar Casserole and some veggie

Thursday: cheeseburgers on the grill or hot dogs, I figure

Friday: take-out (Pizza)

Saturday: Queso fredo chicken with spanish rice

    Emmy--just let them fend for themselves.  Last night I was canning sauce and came into the kitchen to find Nolan at the island.  Eating tomato PASTE directly from the can with a spoon.
