Food Ideas for the Week

Well ... it is Monday so I am supposed to have 6 meals planned for the week!  I did okay last week.  We ended up eating out on Wednesday, but the meal plan did result in less grocery trips, and quick and easy dinners.  So I am trying it again this week.  I don't promise to blog it out every week ... we will see how it goes.

The plan is to map out 6 dinners leaving day 7 for eating out, and go grocery shopping on Monday's.  I am trying to plan on 2 old favorites, and 4 new recipes to try to bring some excitement into my kitchen.  So here is what I came up with for this week.

{old favorites}
Pasta with Chicken & Homemade Pesto and a Garden Salad
Spaghetti & Meatballs - we ate out twice last week and missed this one!


{new recipes}
Roast Beef with Baked Sweet Potatoes & Steamed Corn
Skinny Mozzarella Cheese Sticks with Chicken Quesadillas
Baked Chicken with Dijon and Lime with Baked Asparagus & Tomatoes
Pork Chops with Mushrooms & Shallots and a Garden Salad.

{baking project - if I have time!}
.77 Carrot Cake as suggested by An Organic Wife

I do have to say the process only took me about half of the time this week!  It looks like it will be a tasty week in my home.  View my other meal planning blog entries at this link.  They are all packed with good recipes so enjoy!
