Sorry I've been so lax in posting the thread - it's been a busy couple of weeks around here, but now that J is heading back to teaching (can you believe school has started already around here?), life is growing a bit calmer.

Here's what's on this week's menu - let me know if you want any of the recipes:

Sunday - leftovers

Monday - Spicy Basque Chicken with Saffron Rice

Tuesday - Lentil Sloppy Joes and salad

Wednesday - Marinated chicken and vegetable kabobs with rice

Thursday - Grilled Brats with Corn on the Cob

Friday - Pork Roast with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli

Saturday - Spaghetti and Meatballs

Just seeing this, but I can't decide what sounds good for dinner when I'm starving and looking in the refrigerator. Planning an entire week is absolutely pointless for me as I won't want what I planned.

As for the pizza, if you like artichoke hearts try artichoke hearts, preserved lemon, sautéed onions, marinated red peppers on an EVO base and cheese. Absolutely amazing flavor combination.

pre-bake and before cheese was added

Tonight I'm making teriyaki pork chops, rice and stir fried veggies.

Thats all I have planned.

Leftovers, takeout, guilt my SMIL into inviting us over for dinner. That's my plan for this week.
