    Haha, this made me laugh! Obviously, he knows what he wants! That's definitely something my H would do!

    We're having one of those Bertolli dinners for 2 because I hurt my neck in a bicycle accident yesterday and don't want to cook!

  • We are having sticky thai chicken and rice. I wish I had broccoli to go with it but I guess it will just be frozen peas.

  • Yesterday's leftovers (parmesan chicken). Poor hubby is sick on his birthday  =( and can't keep anything down, so figured I wouldn't cook today.

  • I think we are having whatever my parents decide on. We are redoing our bathroom, the one and only...and the toilet is currently off the floor so that H can tile...so we have to stay the night over there tonight and possibly tomorrow. Plus we need to go to the store this week :)
  • Spinach and ricotta manicotti!
  • I made a big pot of baked potato soup today.  We are going to have that with last night's leftovers from Texas Roadhouse.

  • We do a big Sunday family dinner every week. It's our week to host and we are doing fancy breakfast. I have a cinnamon-orange French toast casserole for the vegetarian in the family and a savory chicken, tomato, and spinach strata ready to bake. We are also serving veggie sausage links and hashbrown patties. It's going to be delicious!

    Wow that sounds amazing!! I love your idea of trading off for Sunday family dinners! I may have to steal that Smile 

  • All this food sounds so good but I've not had much of an appetite the last two days. We got some BBQ rib tips from the butcher yesterday so I'm being lazy & reheating those with some rice and a veggie.
  • We had chicken parm..but with vodka sauce and cheddar cheese and my DH loved it so much!! :) I love having successful meals that hubby enjoys!! We also had roasted potatoes!

    Do it! It's amazing. I only have to cook once every three weeks and it's a great way to get the little cousins together (my brother has a little boy that is only 5 months older than Max). We started doing it before we had kids, and it's even better now that we do have kiddos.
