What's for dinner?

It's sometimes hard to come up with a week's worth of menus all at once, but it keeps me on budget and on track, otherwise we may end up eating cereal for dinner. I have to know what I am making so that I can plan it into my day.

Tues: Quinoa salad with Mango and Black Beans (I add lime juice and a little honey to the sauce)
Wed: homemade macaroni and cheese with steamed/roasted broccoli (loosely based on this recipe)
Thurs: Turkey Burgers with homemade fries and cucumbers
Fri: crockpot chicken tacos with spanish rice and salad
Sat: Pizza and arugula salad
Sun: Chickpea Cakes with Roasted Cauliflower and salad
Mon: Carrot Soup (John loves this and requests it, so I make it a lot)

What's for dinner

Sometimes I cater to my kids' requests because they don't make that many when it comes to dinner, we had hot dogs and broccoli on Saturday instead of chili. That pushed things back a day, which is cool by me. So here's what we are eating this week:

Mon - potato tart and asparagus
Tues - crockpot sesame honey chicken and carrots over rice (it was good. Not awesome, but good. I roasted the carrots, which were lovely. When I make this again, I might have to make some adjustments to make it awesome, but it gets a thumbs up for being easy and practically hands free.)
Wed - broccoli pesto pasta
Thurs - honey lime tilapia with green beans and rice
Fri - waffles and smoothies (it's my birthday so I reserve the right not to cook anything fancy)
Sat - Brussels and shells 
Sun - ranch house pork chops in the crock pot with mashed potatoes
Mon - corn cakes with avocado tomato relish

What's for dinner?

My blog is sad. Sorry. But I had a thought that I would start posting my weekly dinner menu because maybe there is someone out there who needs a good dinner idea like I do sometimes. And if not, it's a good record for me.

I was at Trader Joes yesterday getting a few staples ( alone, I might add, which was heavenly despite the crowd), and I decided last minute that I didn't want to go grocery shopping again this week. I didn't have a menu plan so I just thought of what I already had and what I could get at TJs, so here it is.

Mon - chicken soup and bread
Tues - red Thai curry with beef and snap peas
Wed - pasta/gnocchi with tomato sauce and broccolini
Thurs - black beans and rice
Fri - pizza and salad
Sat - chili
Sun - potato tart with roasted carrots

Happy eating!
