Weekly Meal Plan: Better Late than Never!

{image from here}

So we did so-so on following the menu plan last week. We didn't quite make it through our planned meals because we might have eaten out more times that I planned for, but it's a start. And I did drag myself into planning this week. Here goes:

Mexican Lasagna (ingredients all ready to go from last week!), guacamole & chips

chicken tenders, Greek salad & cheesy bread

cold cuts platter (Not sure what to call this one yet, but it's a new go-to fave with sliced meat [ham/sausage/salami/turkey or whatever], variety of cheese, avocado & tomato slices with crackers and fruit. I slap it down on the table on a big cutting board and everyone builds their own cracker stackers. It also goes quite well with a glass of wine for the mom and dad :-) Any ideas for a better name for this meal? I have a feeling I'll be offering it up often!

paninis (with the leftovers from the platter)

That's all I've got so far. I'm thinking I might round the week off with some stir fry, but I'm going to let the meat section at the store guide me.

What's for dinner at your place?

Hi, it kind of sounds like an antipasto platter.

I'm going a meal like your mexican lasagna (thanks for that idea), chicken tetrazzini and maybe homemade pizza. I am having such a hard time coming up with meals for some reason. I love planning them though because it helps so much so I need to get more focused on it. Good luck with your plan this week.

My husband is starting certification classes for teaching this week so it's a bit of a challenge:

Tonight - pasta primavera
Tueday - family dinner at bop's (grandpop) YAY!
Wednesday - dunno, need to find something easy.
Thursday - eggplant tart (already made and in the fridge)
Friday - eating out on the road to grandmommy's (10 hour drive with toddler - wish me luck!)
