What's Cooking?
In this hot, hot heat, some inspiration would be welcomed!
Monday- We were going to grill ribs, but DH decided it was too hot, so we cheated and got ribs to go from Chilis instead.
Tuesday- Pizza, since I had some dental work done and needed something soft that I could break into pieces
Wednesday-Thursday- We are headed for the shore this weekend for a few days, so we'll clean out whatever is in the fridge/freezer.
Re: What's Cooking?
This week is going to suck in terms of healthy meal planning for us. Monday is the only day I actually cooked anything.
Monday - grilled italian sausage patties with peppers and onions on sandwich thins, tomato/mozz salad
Tues - work picnic
Weds - out to dinner with my parents
Thurs - girls' night...probably pizza
Friday - who knows.
Monday - chicken kebabs on the grill. They were thrown together last minute and pretty delicious actually. If I'd planned ahead, they'd have been even better.
Tuesday - cereal
Wednesday - scrambled eggs and toast
Thursday - dijon chicken panini (if I remember to cook and shred the chicken)
Friday - Phillies game with girlfriends
Sun- BBQ
Mon- another BBQ
Tues- grilled strip steaks, mash and roasted broccoli that I burnt
Wed- whole roasted chicken and I threw extra carrots and potatoes underneath so they will be the sides along with a salad
Thurs- T1 wont be home so probably something he doesnt normally eat, salmon or some sort of fish
Fri-take out of sorts
Sat-Phils game

We haven't planned too much this week...
Tues -- spaghetti using leftover sauce from freezer, Carlino's baguette which I ate more than half of
Wed -- frozen pizza
Thurs -- baked potatoes (with cheese, broccoli...DH likes baked beans on his)
Fri -- maybe croque madame
Sat -- probably indian food
AND, if you like mushrooms, cream cheese, and bacon and you need an easy appetizer please make these. A friend made these for a Memorial Day party and they were seriously amazing. I could have eaten all of them.

Last night we grilled turkey burgers and hot dogs wrapped in pizza dough stuffed with all sorts of random items.
Tonight we'll grill chicken. I refuse to turn on the oven. Probably have couscous with the chicken.
Tomorrow - DH and SIL love pork so they'll probably eat something pork in the crockpot and I'll have left overs.
Friday - hopefully out with friends.
My little nuggets
I need to get on track here...we have tons of food in the house, I just haven't figured out meals out of it all. Slacker.
Monday- BBQ @ my parents'
Tuesday- I ran around like a nut all day, plus our air conditioner was broken (guy came to fix it late afternoon)- so I hadn't planned anything...we wound up having chicken nuggets, veggies, and some leftover pizza skins from Sunday night.
Wednesday- I'm thinking sloppy joes and veggies or fries, if I have any left...gotta check.
Thursday- possibly pasta and meatballs
Friday- thinking maybe a chicken & stuffing bake I cut the recipe for a million years ago and didn't make yet...we'll see how hot it is out by then to decide if I'm using the oven or not.
Saturday- DH has a work staff meeting at 5:30pm, and isn't sure how long it will last...I am thinking either something super easy or leftovers if we have them...or maybe even take out or going out. We do have a few gift cards we could use...
Monday we made burgers, a salad and mediterranean orzo salad.
Tuesday was leftovers from Monday.
Last night I sauteed some shrimp in olive oil, S&P, garlic and parsley and served that with roasted asparagus and the orzo salad.
Tonight ILs are coming over and we might get takeout from the Greek restaurant up the street. I have a hankering for some hummus.
Friday - Phils game
