Meal Plan Monday #309

I cooked pork chops at home last week, and they were delicious; however, I didn't want to eat any of the leftovers. It's not easy in our small town to find packages of meat for two, and I'm not good about using meat that goes into the freezer. And we're still trying to minimize our meat intake, particularly at home. So I think I'll just go back to a more pescatarian approach at home.

Monday:  Vegetarian Japanese Curry with Lentils over Rice

Tuesday:  Corn and Potato Chowder with Cheese Toast

Wednesday:  Tutorial Night Takeout!

Thursday:  Pan Seared Mahi Mahi and Caesar Salad

Friday:  Date Night! Lib's Pick!

Meal Plan Monday #234

Out AC has been fritzing out some, which is bad. It's August in Mississippi! We need the AC. Hopefully, it will get repaired tomorrow and we can keep our meal plan this week. We had to forego Thursdays meal in favor of dinner out to try to keep the house as cool as possible. I froze the chicken and will recycle that one this week.

This will be the first full week of classes. I hope this week is smoother than last - it was after 5:00 when I left work every day. Tutorials start this week, so Wednesdays will be either very quick suppers or takeout. Here's to another school year!
