Supper this week

How has another week gone by already? I have half a post started that I meant to finish last week, but here's this week's super quick meal plan:

Monday: Pizza and salad (the dough is already rising!)
Tuesday: Chicken and veggie stir-fry with rice 
Wednesday: {Thai}
Thursday: Hamburgers and sweet potato fries
Friday: Chicken Marsala with cacio e pepe
Saturday: Chicken tikka masala from the freezer 

Looks like a chicken-heavy week! Last week's spaghetti carbonara was pretty yummy but a bit globby, and reminded John of macaroni and cheese. I have some work to do on it, but I'm looking forward to improving it! And the beans I ended up having on Saturday...well, I didn't start them until about 5:30 PM (hadn't even soaked them, so I had to do the quick-soak method), and they were still a bit chewy when we finally sat down to eat at 9:30. John asked me why I hadn't just used canned beans, and while I'm not ready to admit long-term defeat with dried beans, at the moment I was sort of wondering the same thing myself.

I am so excited for fall! (Who is surprised? :)) But for now, I'm hoping we can make the most of the warm weather by doing a bunch of end-of-summer grilling! I really want to try grilling pizza, but I'm a little afraid to. Have any of you tried it?
