New Adventures with Meal Planning

It's that time again...and I thought I would save myself some grief and plan the week out (thanks Cindy for your undying support and motivation). I also wanted to share a few recipes that we have been trying...

Monday: Rice and Veggies
We have some swiss chard that needs to be used up. Ever had it? We haven't! We are going to use this recipe I think. Wish me luck...I'm not necessarily a fan.

Tuesday: BBQ Chicken Sandwiches or Chicken Enchiladas
We had Hawaiian Haystacks over the weekend and I have leftover chicken to use!

Wednesday: Won Tons
We haven't done these forever! Should be fun.

Thursday: Sandwiches

Friday: Grill Time.
I'm crossing my fingers for some sunshine. It's the last day of school and we will be having our annual "Last Day of School Water Fight." So why not plan for sunshine all the way and go for the grill? Or maybe we'll go up the canyon and kick off camping season! There are advantages to living within a mile of some good camping spots.

Saturday: Perhaps a freezer meal...I'll have to look in my cookbooks!

Last week we tried out this fun recipe for Garden Veggie Linguine with Cilantro Pesto. Jason liked it a lot...I thought it needed a little kick, but I didn't put any pepper in it either.

We are also going to fry up some plantains as directed on this blog... Should be fun!

This week I am also delving into the world of Blackberry Jam...wish me luck!

I like swiss chard in stir fries. I don't buy it nearly often enough!

Oh, and some of that blackberry jam is welcomed here! :)
