Menu Planning Monday

Like I mentioned in last week's post, we didn't really do much cooking.  Not sure why, but it was kind of a hectic week.  So without further ado, here is a breakdown of what we actually ate:

Monday:  Leftovers
Tuesday:  Leftovers
Wednesday:  Maple/brown sugar salmon, 4 cheese couscous, and yellow squash
Thursday:  Spaghetti squash with meatballs (him veggie, me turkey with spinach)
Friday:  Leftovers
Saturday:  Cream of chicken and orzo soup (veggie chicken)
Sunday:  Leftovers

This week is already turning out better...perhaps because we have begun our nightly routine with the little man, so everything is a little more organized.  Here's a breakdown of the plan:

Monday:  Grilled salmon and mahi (we split both), grilled eggplant and portabello mushrooms, and green beans
Tuesday:  Shrimp pasta with homemade basil pesto & tomatoes, asparagus, and an arugula and spinach salad with gorgonzola, pecans, and apples
Wednesday:  Homemade wheat crust pizza (four cheese with a tomato sauce)
Thursday:  Tacos
Friday: Free
Saturday: Unsure (have a wedding that night but only attending the ceremony, so....)

Just wanted to explain what "free" means on Fridays, in case any of you are wondering.  See, Joe always works on Friday nights and has to be in around 630 or so.  Combined with the fact that he has to get a delivery in the early afternoon and rarely eats lunch until he gets home around 330 or 4, means that he is never hungry for a regular dinner before work.  So I often just make myself something.  So, that's what "free" means...I'm free to make whatever!!
