Last night I made this: http://chichoskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/04/penne-with-artichokes.html. I added hot italian turkey sausage and we had a salad. It was pretty good. We have loads of left overs.
Tonight we're having left overs from last night and we also have a left over turkey burger. I mixed the ground turkey with feta cheese, spinach and sun dried tomatoes.
Tomorrow - Friday - not sure in which order but I have lots of chicken and ground turkey in my house so I'm going to scour pinterest to see what I should do with it.
I definitely want to do panini's one night with chicken. Maybe also have soup that night.

I appreciate these weekly check ins since it gets my butt in gear to plan meals and gives me good ideas. Im trying a lot of new recipes out of my stack at home to try to clear the recipe clutter so Im feeling accomplished! I also downloaded several recipe apps to my ipad to try to increase the utility of that $400 glorified kindle (no offense to ipad lovers, thats just how i use mine at the moment).
This week includes an inordinate amount of junky food due to unusual work events but hopefully there will be less junky food in my future weeks!
Monday--pulled pork (crock pot) with leftover sides
Tuesday--Pizza
Wednesday--Chinese take out
Thursday--one pot lasagna (new recipe...) w salad
Friday--chicken pot pie w salad
Saturday--leftovers
Sunday--pizza at a daycare fall festival event thingy
No more pizza for awhile! ugh!
