What's Cooking?
Sunday- Pinterest 3 ingredient Italian slow cooker chicken with egg noodles
Monday- Pasta
Tuesday- Roast Beef Sandwiches
Wednesday- I have pork chops in the freezer, so I may try this. Seems similar to Sunday's chicken dish and DH actually requests that one, so we'll see.

Thursday-Saturday??
Re: What's Cooking?
Pretty much all I have is chicken right now so I'll be sprouting feathers by the end of the week.
Sunday: baked country chicken with lemon pepper orzo
Monday - leftovers from yesterday
Tuesday - pasta with vodka sauce. I made a batch of sauce last week and froze it to take out as needed.
Wednesday - chicken with brown rice. I want to do something with prepared honey mustard and ideally in the crockpot so I have to find something.
Thursday - cereal or hot dogs or a salad or something. Although I may switch this with Tuesday so I'm not having pasta 3 days in a row.
Friday - take out
Saturday - lasagna soup
I'm clearing the freezer a little bit, and I may have to report for Jury Duty selection tomorrow and then if I get picked the week is possibly blown.
Tonight - Taco salad (leftover turkey taco meat)
Tuesday - Chicken stir-fry w/ soy-ginger sauce over brown rice
Wednesday - Buffalo chili (from freezer)
Penne Puttanesca - I made Halibut with tomatoes, olives and capers on Saturday and so have olives and capers to use up.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
This is going to be a very uneventful week in my kitchen.
Tonight - leftover Chinese
Tues - out to dinner with my sister
Weds - something quick and easy since I have a hair appt late afternoon
Thurs - again something easy with no leftovers...possibly blts or salads
Fri-Mon - out of town
tonight - home made pizza with chicken, feta, red onions and spinach.
tomorrow - something with ground turkey but i'm not sure what yet. maybe meatloaf with orzo. That lemon orzo Jess mentioned looks good.
Wed - probably left overs as I have an acupuncture appt.
Thurs - maybe baked chicken with potatoes and salad.
friday ?
My little nuggets
Sat - DH made spaghetti carbonara
Sun - sausage and peppers in crockpot
Mon - homemade pizza (pesto, mozz, tomato w/ whole wheat dough)
Tues - thai chicken & zucchini over rice
Wed - salad (greens, red beets, goat cheese) with flatbread & hummus
Thurs - maybe chicken fingers & black bean quesadillas
kernal just fyi I did have to change a couple of things, in case it matters to you. I only had a cup and a half of chicken stock, so I had to sub the rest with water. I also don't have mascarpone on hand so I used cream cheese. And I omitted the chives because I don't care for them.
While it was very tasty, it was very lemony, almost overpoweringly so. Next time, I might use a bit less lemon juice and zest because you can always add to taste.
Thanks! thats good to know.
Esyn..how do you make your S&P in the crockpot?
My little nuggets

2 packs of sweet italian sausages (you can use any kind of sausage)
2-3 peppers cut up (we do one red, one green, one yellow)
2 big onions cut up

tomato paste
splash of red wine or water

Let it cook for 6-7 hours...we usually make sausage sandwiches on a baguette or get hoagie rolls.
