menu monday.

Our long weekend flew by as usual!

We spent it relaxing, watching Meet Me in St. Louis, going out to eat with J's brother and his fiance, getting new cell phones, and doing a little shopping.

Here's our menu we planned for this week:

Monday
pizza

We had some leftover pizza so we figured we better go ahead and eat it tonight. J got the pizza at this meat market in our town. He got it because it was like the kind we used to eat in elementary school. It's hard to describe what it's like but it's really good :)

Tuesday
baked chicken
broccoli
basmati rice

We seem to have this every week but it's just so good! And it's not too, too bad for you.

Wednesday
grilled pork chops
mashed potatoes
corn on the cob

J is grilling the pork chops and corn on his favorite new grill. To make the mashed potatoes we bought a bag of red new potatoes and will mash them up and add a little milk or, what J likes to use, ranch dressing.

Thursday
chicken
black beans
yellow rice

Another one of our favorite meals. J cooked the yellow rice last week since I seem to always burn it!

Friday
We didn't plan anything for Friday because we talked about going home-home for the weekend. But we're not too sure yet.

Hope everyone is having a marvelous Monday! I know we are...it's a perfect 65 degrees and sunny day!

P.S. And just because I don't want to post without a picture, here's one from our rehearsal dinner.


(please disregard the classy Solo cups :) )

I actually love the solo cups!

And my husband got a new grill for Christmas as well - we are eating something from the grill almost every night. :)

Great menu! I need all the ideas I can get! Let's just say cooking is not my favorite, I think it's the coming up with a menu part that I dislike. I seem to never have what I need on hand!! URGH! And hubby does not cook!! :(
