Re: Monday Menus
I'm including this past weekend since I did a lot of cooking, and I don't have too much planned for the rest of the week.
Sat - My healthy version of Chipotle: Barbacoa beef, cilantro lime rice, and corn salsa
Sun - Tarragon Chicken, Garlic Rice Pilaf and leftover corn salsa
Mon - Crockpot Bolognese over Rigatoni and salad
Tue - DH has to work late so I'll probably eat leftovers.
Wed - dinner at my parents'
Thur - either leftovers again, or something from the freezer
Fri - TBD, we're leaving for a weekend away, so I probably won't be cooking
Monday: Macaroni and cheese with meat
Tuesday: Chicken with rice and kale
Wednesday: American chop suey
Thursday: Ground chicken and cheese quesadillas
Friday: We're going away for the weekend, so we'll probably eat out
Sun - Chicken Taquitos, Veggies and dip
Mon - Buffalo Chicken Chowder, Bread, Salad

We are leaving on Wednesday for Disney (!!!) so we don't have much planned for this week...
Sunday- leftover BLT soup (this was really good!)
Monday- chicken tacos
Tuesday- finishing up any leftovers we have, or english muffin pizzas
Wednesday-???
Thursday-???
Friday- Dinner at California Grill at the Contemporary Resort!
Sat-???
Sun- Dinner at Jiko at Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Not much cooking going on here this week..
Monday: Chicken something. Still working on it.
Tuesday: Crystal's Crockpot BBQ
Wednesday: possibly my grandparents... if not, then I'm thinking baked ziti
Thursday: M is oot, so leftovers for me
Friday: Date night
Saturday: Nada. M is oot.
Monday: Penne with spicy Italian sausage and mushrooms in a tomato sauce
Tuesday: DH has a meeting so I will probably just have left-overs or a sandwich or something
Wednesday: Tacos!
Thursday: Taco salad with the leftovers
Friday: Corn chowder (my new recipe for the week) and biscuits
I never have anything to add to this because my meal planning is going to the freezer after work and deciding what to defrost...
However, I just downloaded an app called allrecipies. AWESOME. Thought I should share.
Mon- Braided spaghetti bread
Tues- Keilbasa with garlic fries (if I make them right)
Wed- Chicken Mac & Cheese
Thurs- Turkey Tacos
Friday- Leftovers
Allrecipes is cool.
I think this week is about cleaning out the freezer/fridge. I have clam chowder, one tomale, chicken, pizza dough (gonna use for braided spaghetti), ham so I think I'll make the following:
"Red Chicken" (like an enchilada flavored chicken but not enchiladas... watching the calories) with grilled peppers/onions, brown rice and some green vegetable.
Braided Spaghetti with chicken sausage or ground turkey OR pizza with sausage, ham/veggies
Either a quiche or cheesy scallopped potatoes w/ham
Need to incorporate some fish (yummy omega-3s) so we'll see what is on sale at the store.
With it being just me, it's cool b/c whatever is leftover is lunch the next day... TWOfer!!
Ok, let's see if I can stick to my plan:
Monday: Garlic Shrimp Pasta Toss
Tuesday: something lazy
Wednesday: salad
Thursday: fish (Panseared selects)
Friday: something in the crockpot
Tonight: Goulash (or my family's version of Macaroni)
Tuesday: Turkey Macaroni Bake
Wednesday: Steak - Potato's - veggies
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Chicken - Potato's - Salad
Saturday: Leftovers

Crystal, have you checked out www.skinnytaste.com? Just wanted to recommend it because you mentioned watching calories in your post. Her recipe for chicken enchiladas is great, and I just bookmarked one for scalloped potatoes that I'm going to make next week.
