Wonky Weekly Menu

Hellooo! I'm posting early. Primarily because I didn't even try on this week's menu. Travel always mucks things up. Also, though since the move, I've been doing my grocery at the end of the week which I don't love. So this week, I'm shopping for a week and a half to get me back on schedule. Shopping done. God bless Peapod. Groceries arrive on Saturday morning and here is the menu for Saturday - Saturday. This will get me back so that next time I can post my menu Sunday- Saturday.

Don't even talk to me about the gym. It's not happening.

Friday: Dinner out to Black Bull with the Rhineharts!
Saturday: Foil packet tacos with sweet potatoes and black beans
Sunday: BBQ Salmon with roasted broccoli and pasta
Monday: Spaghetti and Meatballs (I'm trying to add in one brainless, super cheap meal. Gets cost down and doesn't feel like I'm cooking everyday of the week)
Tuesday: Lime-Soy Chicken with rice
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Honey Mustard Chicken with baked fries
Friday: Turkey Chili
Saturday: Out

Friday/Saturday might be flip-flopped.

Stay tuned for the review of the World's Best Chicken recipe.... spoiler alert- it wasn't.

Weekly Menu 8.12.12

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been MIA these past few weeks... just lots of fun little trips and visitors in town that have prevented me from cooking too much. But this week will be a bit more normal. 

Monday: left overs 

Tuesday: Kobe's White Fish Special & Veggie Stir Fry 

Wednesday: Pulled Pork Sandwiches & Potato Salad - I'm especially excited about this meal because I've never used my slow cooker. If anyone has tips, I'd love to hear them.

Thursday: Homemade Baked Falafels 
Friday: Chicken Pot Pie
Saturday: Homemade Pizza (I bought the dough this time)
Sunday: Chicken Curry & Coconut Rice

I hope you all have a great week! Thank you for sharing recipes, I use them all the time!

What else is new, you ask? well...
1. ryan bought a motorcycle. i just cant.
2. i go to cape cod with fonzie for 3 weeks on monday!
3. i convinced/forced ryan to book a ticket so he is coming to cape cod too for 4 of the days (miracle he booked it. guilt/freaking out works wonders)
4. fonzie got neutered last tuesday. since then he tore the stitches out and had to get staples put in (thursday for an additional $100), tore the staples out and had to get new ones put in (saturday at 1am for $100), ate a computer cord (sunday), pooped on the floor and puked on the carpet (last night). soooo he is obviously uncomfortable/pissed off. i feel bad for him but OMG chill out!!! icant wait til the staples are out and we're in cape cod so he can settle down. i will be posting a video of fonzie's first frolic in the ocean when that happens.

Aug 6- Weekly Menu

I can't believe we're already well into August already! Elisa was here this past weekend and totally whipped us into shape. She was tackling the to-do lists like it was nobody's business and really would not be where we are if she didn't come to our rescue! Will took it upon himself to bust a hole in our downstairs fireplace, so he spent the majority of the weekend fixing and painting the downstairs. Meanwhile, Elisa and I went to Ikea, organized the upstairs, got rid of boxes. It was awesome. Things are getting more normal and thankfully we've been able to stick to the schedule for dinners. Can't say the same for going to the gym, but we'll get there! We had a huge brunch/lunch on Sunday in celebration of mom passing her clinical entrance exams (whoop!). So we're starting the week easy.

Below is what we have going on:

Sun: Zuppa Toscana
Mon: Leftover cassoulet (I'll post the recipe!)
Tues: Dijon pork chops and mashed potatoes
Wed: Baked chicken legs and green beans
Thur: Out for an SCU alumni Cubs game!
Friday: World's Best Chicken. We'll see what all the fuss is about :)
Saturday: Fish Tacos

What's on yalls list?
