Well, yesterday I pulled some tortilla dough out of the freezer and cooked up enough for the three of us, then cooked up a chicken breast in homemade taco seasoning (recipe found via pinterest!). We added lettuce, cheese, salsa and refried beans (canned this time) to our tacos, and they were yummy!
And today I roasted a chicken. I haven't done that in a while. :) This time, I stuffed it with an onion and a little bouquet garnier of rosemary and thyme (my remaining living herbs!). I rubbed it down with some olive oil and sprinkled on dried parsley and sage. The potatoes and vegetables got drizzled with olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper, too. It smelled so yummy cooking! It's so much fun that fall is coming, and oven-season and chili and stew season is almost here!
So, the plan for the rest of the week is . . .
Wednesday: {Thai}
Thursday: Lasagna (with noodles and riccotta leftover from Sunday!)
Friday: Salmon and Rice
Saturday: Chicken pie? Or something else with chicken leftover from today.
Sunday: We're having company! We've found that it's easy for John to grill chicken and have mashed potatoes, salad, probably carrots, and probably some sort of pie for dessert.
Monday: Rachel Ray's pasta with bacon, tomatoes, and cheese (but I use red pepper instead of the tomatoes; just our personal preference)
I guess this week is a bit chicken-heavy! But it is my sweetie's favorite meat . . . and it's cheaper than beef . . . and doesn't have pink slime in it . . .
I share my plans partly for accountability, and partly to share my ideas! But I'm always interested in new ideas! What are you making for dinner this week?
Yesterday I made my own hoagie rolls and we had BBQ chicken subs for lunch and turkey sausage, peppers and onions in hoagie rolls for dinner. Tonight is going to be leftovers and later this week will probably be roast beef. I usually don't know what the later half of the week will be until I do my grocery shopping on Thursday AM. I like reading what you're cooking for the week! It's inspiring. :)

Oh, thank you! Your meals sound delicious...I've never made hoagie rolls or been very happy with my attempt at hamburger rolls. Didn't know you had a new blog, either....will have to add it to the list!
