Next week's plan

[HeavenLeigh]

I have a plan for next week!!! I'm so excited, I just can't hide it.
Oh how I hate to cook but I'm sooo much better at it!

Here's the plan (I surfed the net and browsed a huge stack of momma's taste of home mags)

Monday....Psycho chicken (thanks M), broccoli tomato salad, honey roasted potatoes, and no bake cookies

Tuesday....Rosemary pork roast, apple honey dutch baby, mashed potatoes, green beans, and chocolate cream dessert

Wednesday....peppercorn steaks, 2 cheese linguine, french green beans, and dinnerrolls. left over dessert from Tuesday

Thursday....sausage stuffed mushrooms, french bread pizza, and a big salad. and peanut crunch cake

Friday.....possibly OUT TO EAT....if not then terryaki chicken, some veggies stir fried, and maybe rice. Even more possible is a few slices of bread, some ham and mustard w/ a bag of chips

Hot diggity!! I'm coming to KY for dinner each night!! I'm so proud of you for making a plan for the week!! I have been horrible about that...we don't eat until about 9, and then it is something quick n easy...it's pathetic, really!

[Csara]

Wow, you go Krysti!! That is great that you planned out a menu and such a good one at that. Even dessert is included--I'm impressed!!

[Mel-icious]

Excellent job K! Can I come down? Especially since I haven't a clue yet as to what I will make this week.

[HeavenLeigh]

C'mon down C, Kim, and M! I'm not gonna promise that it'll be good but I'll give it one heckuva shot! I'm excited about this I see the 3 pounds I've dropped coming back soon. The grocery store will get paid a visit Sunday. As of now I have 1/3 cup of milk and maybe 10oz of Mello yello....other than that and some canned food my house is foodless

[Mel-icious]

So Heaven, how'd the first week with a plan go?

[Deana]

Hey Krysti, you go, sister act! You are quite the little wizard in the kitchen these days!!

Here's our meal plan for this week (9-2-02)

Monday: (yesterday) grilled chicken, asaparagus with browned balsamic butter, rice and rolls
Tuesday: Grilled chicken sandwiches with low fat chipolte mayo, baked fries, Texas two step slaw
Wednesday: Orange Roughy with Thai Coconut Curry sauce (the recipe says to use tailpia, but my market didn't have any) and Jasmine rice, peas
Thursday: Fish Tacos, Pinto beans, baked tortilla chips
Friday: Chicken Parmesean ravioli with red sauce, ceasar salad, garlic bread
Saturday: out

[Mel-icious]

Since the grocery stores around here are mobbed on the weekends, I'm going today, here's my new plan till next Thurs.

Thursday: Sichuan Chicken W/ steamed white rice, stir fried broccoli, and a salad

Friday: Bourbon and brown sugar glazed flank steak W/ garlic chive mashed potatoes served with roasted asparagus in browned balsamic butter and a ceasar salad

Saturday: Pizza night! Homemade pizza {unsure on toppings yet} with a salad.

Sunday: Chicken with 40 cloves of garlic, browned buttered egg noodles, and garlicky green beans and a salad

Monday: Asian beef served with fried rice, sichuan green beans, and a salad

Tuesday: Taco chicken rolls, spanish rice, and roasted broccoli in browned butter

Wednesday: Baked ziti, sauteed zucchini & shrooms, garlic toasts, and a ceasar salad.

Hey M - two questions... when you do pizza night, do you make your own dough or use a store brand? AND... do you have a recipe for your ziti? I make my own ziti, but I just throw pasta, sauce, ricotta, parm, mozzerella and some spices together and bake. Just wondering if you had a "real" recipe??!

[Mel-icious]

No real recipe here either, I made a huge batch of homemade sauce, so I'll use that. Basically I boil the ziti, toss it in a riccotta, parm cheese, and the homemade sauce, and top it with a little more parm and mozzarella. For the crust....yes I make my own, I use Jamie Olivers "The Naked Chef" or I use CL's, both are good!

Monday: Grilled Lamb, artichoke dip

Tuesday: Tortellini salad and dill bread

Wednesday: Boursin Tomato Soup w/left over dill bread

Thursday: Grilled Lamb again--veg (undecided yet--have a ton from farmer's market)

Friday: Supposed to go to a fireworks thing, so we'll probably be bad and eat a sausage or something down there! Or maybe pack sandwiches, etc.

Saturday: Blueberry Chicken, veg

Sunday: Probably that Chicken in Peanut Sauce Pasta that was all the rage here a few months ago! or Cajun Chicken Pasta

[meliz]

No idea what we'll be eating.... but things have *got* to be healthified around here. We have been such junk junkies in the last little bit. WAY WAY WAY too many trips to the DQ. And to restaurants in general. ANd when we do cook we have been bbqing alot-- which isn't a bad thing per se, but I find I am far more likely to overeat and/or eat desert when we barbeque. Plus I've eaten more meat in the last month than I have in years. Ugh.

Fortunately we're at our cheap veggie peak so I think I'll stock up this w/e and make some veggie chile, so that will do us for a chunk of next week.

And we were really big into salads at the beginning of the summer, so I'd like to get back into that habit.

Hey---that Blueberry chicken sounds very,very interesting... can ya post that sometime Kim?
