Dinner Menu

Sorry I haven't put up a dinner menu in weeks!  We've been traveling here and there, and everywhere, and blogging became sporadic...thus no menus.  I am super close to my blog makeover being complete, and I'm really excited about it!  I'll give you a hint about it: it will be green. In more ways than one. :)

Anyway, here's the menu plan for this week...we both have a good many evening gigs this week, so leftovers are going to serve an important role as they are super fast to fix!

Sunday- Spinach Ravioli

Monday-Chili

Tuesday-Honey Orange Basil Chicken w/ corn on the cob and fruit

Wednesday-Leftover pasta primavera from Saturday

Thursday-Leftover chili or ravioli

Friday-Girls night out with my college roommates!

Saturday-Fajitas

What's on the Menu?

Here is what we had for dinner this past week.  Can you tell I'm all about leftovers?  I don't really care for them, but I also hate wasting food and if it means I don't have to cook (and thus, clean), it makes leftovers sound alot more appetizing!  So, what are you cooking?

Saturday: At a family wedding so no real dinner, just lots of appetizers
Sunday: Leftover turkey taco salad form last week
Monday: Kung Pao Chicken
Tuesday: Italian sausage and rotini skillet pasta
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: We split a steak, and added steamed broccoli and shoe-peg corn
Friday: Hubby is at his school's graduation, and I will be with my parents...so, looks like we're each on own tonight!

What's on the Menu?

Here is what we had for dinner this past week; apparently it was a week of leftovers!  I am not a gourmet chef by any means, but I'm also trying to stay away from too many processed foods...I'll be the first to admit that I'm guilty of liking things that are bad for me!  I'm workin' on it though...we try not to waste much food in our house, hence all the leftovers...not my fave, but it means I don't have to cook again, right?

So, what are you cooking?

Saturday: Homemade chili & cornbread
Sunday: EASTER! Lunch wasn't until 3ish, so I never really ate dinner
Monday:Leftover chili for me, leftover random Easter dishes for hubby
Tuesday: Four cheese penne pasta with chicken and broccoli
Wednesday: Leftovers from Tuesday
Thursday: I was going to make turkey stroganoff, but we got an unexpected visit from some family that barely missed the tornado in Alabama, so we took them out for Mexican
Friday: Leftover calzone form my lunch, chicken noodle soup for hubby...random, I know!


I promise I'll actually cook a little more next week....
