Re: Weekly Menus
Tonight E is having steak. I'm making artichokes and pasta to go with it.
I have a few crockpot meals in the freezer so I think I might do one of those tomorrow for E and I . Wednesday is E's night so I don't know what he is going to do. We have stuff to do stir fry so we might be doing that. It's getting harder and harder to do meal plans since E's schedule changes every 12 weeks for school and I hate making things for just for myself.
Tonight - Chicken with caramelized onions in balsamic sauce
Monday - Spaghetti, salad, and rolls
Tuesday - Taco Tuesday
Wednesday - Chili and Cornbread
Thursday - Black bean burgers with sweet potato fries and salad
Friday - Make our own pizza, with salad
Ha I used to be ericandmarie.
*ding ding* Thanks! You just felt familiar and I couldn't place it.
Were you feeling up your computer? Heh.
I normally just steam mine. However a few times I've stuffed between the leaves with cloves of garlic and baked it for an hour. Delicious!
Yum!
I need to go scavenge in the freezer in the garage and see what crockpot meals I have frozen. I need to figure out how to doctor up all of them. E was not a big fan of any of them the first go around. I hope they turn out better this time.
H is gone all this week, so no real plan. I've been craving this salad, though, or at least my modified version of kitchen sink veggies.

I also have a bunch of cherry tomatoes to use up, so I might get some mozzerella and sea asparagus for my version of a hawaiian caprese meal.
Dont you judge me!
I have no idea what we're going to do. I want to grill tomorrow but our grill died on Saturday. WHAH!
Friday I'm in the office so I'm thinking BBQ chicken pizza...the rest of the week I have no clue.
After scheming with the neighbors I've nailed it down.
Mon - Corned beef, cabbage, potatoes
Tues - Tacos either beef or shrimp, TBD
Wed - BBQ pulled pork, salad
Thurs - Salsa chicken
Fri- We're grilling out. I got apple/chicken/gouda sausage and beef jalapeno
Since I have to be to work at 0530 Mon-Thurs, I see a lot of crock pot meals in our future.
Tonight: leftovers
Tomorrow: soup (from freezer) and sandwich
Tuesday: I'm making a big pot of pasta sauce. we'll eat some, and freeze the rest
Wednesday: our regular take-out pho, most likely
Thursday: I want to make a nice beef roast (if I can find a decent roast... no luck today)
Friday: not sure - probably beef roast leftovers
Saturday: we're thinking of going to a ballgame, so ball-park food.
This blog, this idea from Pinterest, and this idea from Pinterest are where I'd go if I had to bring a lunch everyday. Keeps it interesting.
ETA: I swear there's a girl on one of the other boards (H&F, WC?, MM maybe...) who has a lunch box blog that I loved. I can't find it right now but I'll let you know if I do.
ETA2: HERE it is! They're vegetarian but full of great ideas for all.
I bookmarked that to try soon. It sounds super tasty.
I've been craving pulled pork, so that's on the list this week, along with leftover enchiladas, spaghetti, and a savory French toast casserole from the La Leche League book.
