I've got lots and lots of carry-over from last week's menu. Honestly, what are we eating around here? All I know is I didn't have to cook tonight because of this great holiday (I can't change that diaper, it's Mother's Day! I can't do dishes, it's Mother's Day!), so that's one carry-over item. There's no way I'm cooking on Mother's Day!
ANYHOW...SHARE YOUR MENUS! Seriously, it does NOT need to be fancy!!!! Of course it CAN be, but I like 'em when they're not, too! :)
MONDAY:
- Orange Chicken (great recipe - click through!)
- Rice
- Carrots (click & scroll to the bottom for a "recipe")
TUESDAY:
- Hawaiian Pizza on Trader Joe's pizza crust (you can find it in the reefer section, yeah you heard right. I overheard the TJ's guys talking about the "reefer" over and over one day...it was so funny. They realized I heard them and explained it was the "refrigerated" section, which is not nearly as interesting)
WEDNESDAY:
- Chicken Tostadas (see Chicken Tostada Goop recipe)
THURSDAY:
- Leftovers
FRIDAY:
- Grill night...hamburgers? chicken? we shall see...
SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:
- no idea...give me a break, it's mother's day...I'll do some planning later. :)
Happy Mothers Day to one of the best mothers I know!
