menu for two weeks

thanks for posting your menu! as soon as i saw that the mexican casserole invovled doritos i knew it was darin's recipe! the stew sounds really good! i'll have to try it, maybe start de-sensitizing eric's allergies to beef...muhahaha. here's my menu:

Monday:Asian Pot Stickers (dumplings) really good- a wrapped meal, maybe darin would like this- it is ground turkey with green onions and ginger wrapped in wonton wrappers and fried/steamed with chicken broth. dip in a soy sauce/sesame seed oil sauce. let me know if you would like more detail. eric and i did the meal together and got the whole thing done with dishes washed in one hour so it doesn't take as long as some wrapped meals...but tastes very asian. i don't know how much you guys like asian food.

tuesday: spanish noodles (bob's recipe from back in the day)
wednesday:kimble's house
Thursday: left over dumplings
friday: left over frozen chicken dinner or frozen pizza
Saturday: family burrito
Sunday: Grilled Chicken with lime sauce (coat chicken breasts with egg, dip in bread crumbs. heat olive oil in large skillet, place chicken into skillet and fry till golden. remove from skilet. squeeze juice of 2 limes into skillet. cook over low heat until it boils. add 5 tbspn butter, stir till melted. season with chives and dill. spoon sauce over chicken and serve. this recipe is pretty good, maybe an 8/10 so not outstanding but it is nice to switch it up a bit every once in a while)

Monday: sloppy joes
tuesday: California Sherry chicken
Wed: Kimble's
Thrusday: left over sloppy joes
Friday: left over California Sherry chicken
Saturday: i don't know- we are going to church with tyler and alyssa and having dinner with thema nd i've done the dinner the past 3 weeks so i'm hoping she'll do acrock pot meal..
Sunday: Mexian soup- you gave me this recipe last year and i've never made it. it has velveeta in it and rotel. i'm making corn bread with it
Monday: chili and corn bread

i'm making salads for lunch and taking them to work. they are really yummy and have really hit the spot. i just can't eat sandwiches anymore! i start with lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, add croutons, dried cranberries, avacado, a tart granny smith apple, and some feta or blue cheese. i make my own dressing with olive oil, balsamic vinger, oregano, and cavenders. yum! i've been eating snacks of raw natural almonds, organic yogurt(again, better than regular), a kiwi or banana or pear (b/c that produce is cheap right now at the store). that usually get me trhough a 12 hour shift. i thought you might be inspired by any of those things for a good snack. also dried blueberries, peaches or apricots are good too.

yeah, give me the pot sticker recipe. I tried one once about a half a year ago, but maybe yours is easier or better.
