WFD?
all next week? and lunch? 
This is my second day in a row buying breakfast & lunch. planning fail this week. We want to make two casserole type things on Sunday to last us for lunches, and need dinners for S-W and F (thurs we'll get something out due to rugby and Sat we (well at least I) will eat at my game). I need inspiration, as lasagna, fajitas, etc are getting boring.
Re: WFD?
I haven't done next week's list yet; should get the other grocery store flier in the mail today. I usually base my meals around what's on sale.
This week fresh mozzarella was on sale so I made mozzarella stuffed meatballs and we had that for 2 nights. We also got pizza dough and make little pizzas with the mozzarella two nights as well. We have quesadillas/tacos last night. I had planned for hot dogs Saturday.
For casseroles (ish) there's always the cheesey chicken and rice type dishes, baked ziti, enchiladas, chicken pot pie. We also like this recipe and I imagine it would be good for lunch too.
For lunch it is usually a sandwich (lunch meat, tuna, pbj), pasta, or soup (sometime with a grilled cheese). Occasionally leftovers from a restaurant or dinner.
I know Lemony Squash zucchini pizza (I like goat cheese, but M does not, but is equally as good with tomato sauce) I have a whole wheat pizza dough recipe that is amazing. Also salad.
Our farmers market opens this weekend! I will probably go with whatever veggies I find there. Maybe a veggie lasagna? Grilled chicken + veggies & salads from fm??
Also, planing a Trader Joes trip this weekend to get artichokes for an artichoke sun dried tomato pasta dish.
And I just looked at what I typed, I think I need help. Someone give me ideas other that pizza and pasta, geeze. No wonder my diets lacking. I'm start the green monster smoothies tomorrow....
That looks wonderful! I might have to pick up some orzo and try that sometime soon.
I just made a good crock pot dinner the other day.
Chicken and Dumplings
chicken breasts (I used 2)
2 cans cream of chicken soup (I used 1 cream of chicken, 1 cream of celery)
1 bag frozen mixed veggies
1 carton chicken stock (should only need about 1/2-3/4)
1 can refrigerated biscuits
Put the chicken on bottom of crock pot, add soups and mixed veggies. Pour enough chicken stock to cover. Cook 7-8 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high. Shred the chicken. Tear the biscuits into pieces, drop on top. Cook on high 30-60 minutes.

We never plan it out
Truthfully, we're rarely together for dinner so we don't cook very often. I eat cereal a lot.
For lunches, I eat lean cuisine or smart ones or some other various frozen thing. For breakfast I eat the same thing every day: sandwich thin + eggbeaters + american cheese slice = breakfast sandwich.
Clearly, I suck at the housewife thing.

Crystal-that sounds good! DH is not a fan of goat cheese so I may sub it for feta instead.
I am making buffalo mac n cheese but I am "cheating" a little and using Annie's Organic Shells n cheese for the dish
Oh tonight I am making meatloaf "cupcakes" with broccoli casserole.
I am also going to make mexican chicken lasagna too (using
Why do I pick the days to use the oven when it is going to be 80 degrees?!?!
Oh crystal here is a recipe for sweet potato and black bean burritos:

Those look good! Might add them for next week, and follow this blog!
Hmmm, well tonight is Thai delivery.....here's the plan for next week. Lunches tend to be leftovers from "larger" meals. We also have some soup in the freezer that I will probably pull out. We'll have 2 extra pizzas and 2 extra pasta dishes for leftovers. Also a standing lunch date on Fridays.
This week is really chicken heavy because we had a huge grocery trip for the party we're throwing tomorrow. I didn't want to spend a bunch of $$ on fish this week.
