Menu Planning Monday

The last week was kind of disheveled when it came to meals, since we had a couple rough night AND Joe's parents are in town, so we tend to just head up to their house to eat yummy Italian food.  So I only ended up cooking three times.  Here is a rundown of our meals for last week:

Sunday:  Rigatoni with veggie chicken strips and broccoli in a basil cream sauce.  Not the healthiest, but tasty and quick.
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday:  Pan-seared crusted Tilapia, asparagus risotto, and corn on the cob. 
Wednesday:  We had Salmon and Mahi with vegetables at Joe's parents' house.
Thursday:  I made orzo with shrimp and tomatoes, green beans.   This was delicious!
Friday:  Leftovers
Saturday:  Leftovers
Sunday:  Pizza.  We watched the football game with his parents.

This week I am going to try to do better, but his parents are still in town so some of my planned meals may fall to the wayside if we get together with them.  The upside of his mom cooking is that she always makes really healthy, delicious meals.  But here is my plan anyways:

Today:  We are doing our own thing.  Joe is eating leftover pasta and I cooked up a bunch of chicken breasts and added a microwaved sweet potato with cinnamon.
Tuesday: Mahi, couscous, and sauteed spinach.
Wednesday:  Veggie meat sloppy Joes with corn on the cob.
Thursday:  Veggie chicken and orzo "chicken noodle" soup and spinach salad.
Friday:  Joe works, so this is usually a free day.  I will likely eat some mini turkey meatballs I made with some brown rice and veggies.
Saturday:  Pasta with shrimp, corn, and avocado.
Sunday:  Spaghetti squash and meatballs.
