Meal Planning Monday

This week my mom comes to town for a visit. I'm not sure how that affects our plans for the week.  I also picked up some fresh veggies from the farmer's market yesterday (the beauty of living in the temperate San Francisco Bay Area is that there's always a farmer's market somewhere) so that'll influence our meals for sure. I'm also baking crusty, rustic bread this week.

• (Mexican) Monday—leftovers from last's nights dinner which was Mexican because I was jonesing for chicken enchiladas, chips, homemade salsa, and guacamole.
• Tuesday—Mom arrives, maybe baked cod "chowder" (saw the recipe in this month's Real Simple) with red potatoes and leeks, steamed asparagus.
• Wednesday—Dinner out
• Thursday—Spaghetti with roasted cauliflower, black olives, and parsley; salad
• Friday—Tofu with peanut sauce, brown jasmine rice, stir-fried bok choy with shiitake mushrooms
• Saturday—Date night!
• Sunday—Roast pork loin, blood orange and fennel salad

Whatcha cooking?

I saw the recipe for Baked Cod "Chowder", too. I thought it sounded good, so it will go on next week's menu!

Your menu for Sunday sounds so good!

I have my menu up on my blog. Have a great week with your mom!

We're having a Korean beef soup tonight (and probably tomorrow) with rice and some sides.

On Wednesday we're having soy ginger chicken, slow cooked, with sesame green beans.

Thursdays we eat out or order in.

And that's as far as I've gotten with planning our meals for the week. If the baked cod chowder isn't too hard I may give it a try. Thanks for the idea.

Doooood- Had the best chicken enchiladas tonight (thankyouverymuch) and tortilla soup. Will have roasted pork loin this week, too. And...AND!! I was thinking more pasta, too. Puttanesca, though, with really good capers. Wow- "great minds..." and all that. Yip yip.

I've got a lobster and shrimp bisque on my menu this week (kinda like a chowder, no?) that I am really excited about. Inspired by Paula Deen, actually. (I just hope I can pry the lobster meat out of the tail!)

We went out for Korean on Saturday night, and I have a real hankering for some bulgogi, which I am hoping to make next week!

This week I'm still undecided, but I made an awesome sauteed rapini with chili orange oil over the weekend and my family has requested it again. It's cold outside and I'm craving more chilis, perhaps chili lime butter tilapia, so easy and delish.
