September 17-23

Monday
Tuesday
  •  "Taco Bus". This is an actual bus that has seats along the windows and a kitchen in the back, where you can get super yummy, authentic Mexican food! John and I share a huge steak burrito for $5.
Wednesday
  • Sweet and Sour Chicken w/ broccoli, bell peppers, and rice
  • Crab Wontons. I had been putting off making these because the wonton wrappers are expensive, but now I'm really glad I finally bought them! They actually are a good value...I made a huge batch of these (or rather, 2 smaller batches), and have only used half of the wrappers. I think since they are so thin, you don't realize how many are in the package.
Thursday
Friday
  • Chicken Cordon Bleu
  • Roasted Red Potatoes
  • Raspberry Spinach Salad with walnuts and feta cheese
Weekend
  • Lobster Alfredo. I just use the imitation lobster, and jarred alfredo, and through in whatever veggies I have that match; this time it was spinach and mushrooms

September 10-16

Playing catch-up and back posting several posts..... :-) This week was evidently "Pinterest recipe week". I finally decided if I was going to be pinning all these delicious-looking recipes, I needed to try them. And this is the way I roll....I get on a kick and just go for it! :-)

Monday
  •  Chicken Vegetable Curry
  • Jasmine Rice
Tuesday
  • Subway (small group)
Wednesday
Thursday
  • Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos. These were a biiiiig hit. Though John thought they needed more "kick", so when I make them in the future, I'll use some sharp cheddar cheese and more of the spices.
Friday
  • Pizza Bites. Very good, weren't very filling though. I think they'd be great to freeze and just have on hand though.
Weekend
  • Chorizo and Egg breakfast burritos. This was an idea my sister gave me. This is one of my brother-in-law's favorite breakfast. Very tasty!!

September 3-9

Monday
  • Chicken Enchiladas. Still the best ever. And don't even think of making half a batch. DO think about making a double. They make great leftovers. And you will be sad when they are gone.
  • Green Beans
Tuesday
  •  Crock-Pot Barbeque Ribs
  • Pear and Cranberry Salad
Wednesday
  • Beef Stroganoff with egg noodles. Wasn't impressed by this. It was fine for a cheap ground beef meal, but not up to my usual standard. I guess that makes it fine that I can't remember where online I found this particular recipe.
  • Salad
Thursday
  • Marinated Grilled Pork Chops. You can marinate meat in pretty much anything: salad dressing, bbq sauce, other sauces, and pretty much any spice concoction with some oil and vinegar. This makes for a very healthy way to pack a lot of flavor into meats, with a great variety of things to try.
  • Whole wheat couscous
  • salad
Friday
  •  Dinner with friends
