Anyways, every Sunday I sit down and look through all of my cookbooks, and online resources and I come up with a weekly menu. I like to make something different every day. I also plan out lunches & snacks.
This week:
Monday - My man isn't home until Tuesday, so I just make myself a sandwich for dinner when it's just me.. so I don't have to worry about this day.
Tuesday - Chicken Satay Noodle Salad
Wednesday - Hash Brown Turkey Cutlets (sounds interesting I know.. don't worry, I'll post it when I make it)
Thursday - Shrimp Pasta Salad
Friday - Pesto Chicken on Rice
Saturday - Appy night with friends! I'm going to make jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon, mini hot-dogs wrapped in puff pastry, and delicious guacamole & chips
Lunches (in no particular order):
-Smoked ham/havarti sandwiches
-Chicken & green pepper wraps
-Chicken pecan salad (ripped this off from Boston Pizza - it has chicken, hard boiled egg sliced up, shredded carrots, mozza cheese, cheddar cheese, salad, and ranch dressing)
-Thai Noodle Salad
-And on Friday's we always go out for lunch
**I also usually make soup to add to the lunch otherwise we both end up a little bit hungry still after our lunch.
Snacks:
-Hummus w/ carrots sticks
-granola bars (store bought right now, but next week I plan on making my own)
-hard-boiled eggs
** I just bought Woman's Day Magazine and it's got like 50 snacks under 50 calories. I didn't get any this week, but next week I'll be trying some out.. there's a lot of things in it that I didn't know were only 50 calories.
And here's a shot of all of my groceries - minus chicken, shrimp, soup etc that is already in my freezer/cupboard:

So, the week has gone by. How were the meals?
Nice little blog, BTW. I enjoy cooking too. Been a little broke lately so I haven't been able to do much fancy - that and I work in an Indian Bistro, in he kitchen and eat there mostly.
I look forward to more enticing recipes and kitchen adventures :-)
