  Hi All -- Everyone's menus look awesome :-) I'm definitely borrowing some ideas!

  
  

  Here's our dinner list for the week:

  
  

  Monday: Parmesan Chicken and Rice with Sliced Zucchini (got this recipe from my high school spanish class and have loved it for years)

  
  

  Tuesday: Shepherd's Pie with Ground Beef, Carrots, and Peas

  
  

  Wednesday: Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie w/Puff Pastry Crust

  
  

  Thursday: Leftover Pork Roast Taquitos (we had pork roast for dinner on Sunday night, I'll just repurpose that and make tacos by shredding it up and mixing with salsa and cheese).

  
  

  Friday: Takeout of some kind.

  @luxannie

  
  

  Both recipes are really easy. For the chicken, I just salt & pepper chicken breasts (bone in because it has great flavor), brown it in some olive oil. Set it aside. I pour off a bit of the oil so that the finished product isn't so greasy. I chop an onion and a green bell pepper and add those and about 1 cup of rice to the skillet that the chicken was just cooked in. Once you saute the rice, onion, and green pepper for a couple of minutes, add about 1 and a half cups of chicken stock, some salt, pepper, and about a teaspoon of garlic powder. Once you mix that, you can transfer the sauteed rice & veggies to an oven proof dish, put the chicken on top of the rice mixture, and pour lots of parmesan cheese over top of the chicken pieces. Cover & cook @ 375 for about 45 minutes. I serve it with sauteed zucchini that DH ends up mixing into the rice.

  
  

  For the slow cooker chicken pot pie, I use this recipe from Real Simple:

  https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/chicken-mushroom-pot-pie
  

  The great thing about this recipe is that its very forgiving so I can add whatever veggies I happen to have on hand. Its always a winner!

  Tonight - chicken tortilla soup.
  

  Tomorrow - Turkey sloppy joes and sweet potato wedges (https://www.rachaelrayshow.com/recipe/13904_Sloppy_Maple_BBQ_Turkey_Joes/index.html)

  After that, probably spaghetti with a salad and then we are out of town later this week.
