WFD this week?

rp-chicago-mom

Here's our plan: 

• Sun: beef and potato tacos with all the fixins
  
• Mon: Pork chops and applesauce, braised greens and cornbread. 
• Tue: Zucchini Rice Gratin with salad 
• Wed Pumpkin Pasta, salad 
• Thu Chicken thighs with broccoli and braised carrots 
• Fri Takeout, probably the BBQ place near us. 
• Sat Out!

I try to cook to reflect the weather but this week looks like it's neither hot nor cold so yay for whatever goes.

Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole (probably today)
Tomorrow: BBQ out with some girlfriends to say goodbye before my move, H and DS are on their own
Tuesday: Hawaiian chicken in the crock pot
Wednesday or Thursday:  Happy hour and dinner with my coworkers for my last day, H and DS on their own again
Maybe a spicy shrimp scampi on Thursday?

And leftovers all the other days. I'll consider it a victory if I cook one of those meals. I spend a lot of time on facebook, and drinking, apparently.

I have a whole m, skinned chicken cooking in the slow cooker right now. I will use the meat for chicken Caesar salad, tacos and one other meal. We are going to DH's dad and SM, as we do most Sunday afternoons, so I don't need to plan dinner until Thursday.

I have to say that I am impressed with everyone's meal planning for the week! We usually decide the night before!
I have tried meal planning but it always ended up changing so now I don't even bother! Someday I will be that organized! 
Kudos to all you meal plannin' mommas!

Chicken and dumplings with sweet potatoes, yellow potatoes, carrots, onions and peas, golden watermelon, cheddar & broccoli quiche with whole wheat crust, and bran muffins with shredded apple, zucchini and carrots. I have to admit, I didn't make any of this. My mom is an unbelievable cook and loves to do it, so every week she makes a ton of food for us, my brother and my nephew and delivers it all on Monday mornings. It is insane how spoiled my brother and I are. It's no wonder we both only live a few blocks from her, and don't want to move any farther.

I hate the store. Before I make the shopping list, I look at stuff and decide what to make. I write a list with the days and plug the meals in. I don't always make them on the right day. I also make sure one is always a frozen/pantry meal so I can cancel one meal if something happens. The Pumpkin Pasta is that for this week.

Why do I keep capitalizing pumpkin pasta?

@ccam, it's a Rachael Ray recipe. My best friend had us to dinner for it and it was so good. When I get on my laptop, I'll post a link. It's called penne wise pumpkin something. It has cream in it but I use puréed cottage cheese for recipes calling for cream, unless it's the weekend. I allow cream on the weekend.

@Baker_Bride Thanks!  I'll check it out.  So funny that you "allow cream on the weekends", we're like that at home about certain things too!!

ETA:  Can't get on all sites here at work, but does this look like it??

That pumpkin pasta sounds great! I may have to try it! @Baker_Bride I never knew you could substitute pureed cottage cheese for cream! I will have to try that too!

That's it. I forgot to get shallots. I guess I'll use red onion and garlic to pretend. Anything to not have to go to the store.
