As I mentioned <\/a>earlier this week, I seem to have overcome my inability to plan meals.<\/p>\n

Since I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m so grateful to you for all your mealtime suggestions<\/a>, and since I frankly can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think of anything else to blog about today, I thought I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d share with you my week of dinners. Many of you said you were stuck in a dinnertime rut, too. Maybe this will inspire you \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or, more likely, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll realize that you like your rut just fine, thanks.<\/p>\n

Sunday
<\/strong>Meatloaf, recipe stolen from here<\/a> (Yummy!)
Sweet potato French fries
Baked beans cooked in the slow cooker
Mixed green salad with mandarin oranges, slivered almonds and Toasted Sesame dressing<\/a><\/p>\n

Monday<\/strong>
Quesadillas made with low-fat refried beans, cheddar, and diced onions, tomatoes and red peppers, topped with salsa and home-made guacamole<\/p>\n

(Does anybody have a good salsa recipe? I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve always wanted to try making salsa.)<\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/strong>
Pasta with stir-fried chunks of red pepper, zucchini, mushrooms and snow peas, tossed with pesto sauce. (I usually make rotini with this, but thought I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d try farfalle this time. Blah. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go back to the rotini for next time.)<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/strong>
I worked late, so Beloved was in charge of dinner. Pizza and wings from the place at the corner. Oh well.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/strong>
Lasagne (from a box<\/a>)
Mixed green salad with feta, dried cranberries, walnut chunks and home-made dressing
(The boys ate Scooby-Doo pasta from a can.)<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong>
Home-made bean soup (frozen leftovers from last weekend)
Fresh bread
Cheddar cheese slices<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong>
Chili (one of my specialties – lots of beans and tomatoes, and very spicy)
Toast
Devilled eggs<\/p>\n

Repeat for the next 51 weeks and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll only have to think of new dinner ideas once a year.<\/p>\n

(Stay tuned next week, when I blog the contents of the bottom of my purse. Citizen journalism doesn’t get any more scintillating than this, folks!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
