Like I mentioned before I am not very interested in cooking lately. I am blaming this on Nathan being gone, but to be honest, I am not such a dedicated cook even when he is home. I like cooking, I just don't like to have to think of what to fix, particularly if it is already 5pm. So, I was thinking that if I have a detailed plan for the whole week, then I should be able to fix dinner with joy - without thinking. By the way, this plan will have to start on Tuesday, because tonight was piano/pizza night. Syndey earned a free pizza a week or so ago, and to stop the daily question of "when do I get my pizza" we went tonight. I will omit my detailed whining about eating out in public with 4 kids. Actually, 3 of the kids were great, but one 1 year old was not so fun.
On with the meal plan (Another note: we had roast on Sunday, so I will be using it up this week. I do not consider that leftovers.)
Tuesday:
Beef Stew, homemade rolls
Wednesday:
French Dip on homemade rolls, salad
Thursday:
Tacos
Friday:
Shell pasta with Alfredo sauce, salad, breadsticks
Saturday:
Leftovers, big salad, apple crisp
Sunday:
Breakfast for dinner
Hey, that was easy enough. Looks like a fine week of dinners, and some quick, warm lunches. Wish me luck.

Howdy! I'm catching up with my blog reading tonight. Love all your entries. Much fun!
Must admit I am never very good about dinner during the middle of the week. Mary's the expert on cooking meals every night. When we visited her last summer, she had a spiffy meal on the table by 5:00 PM sharp. Very impressive.
I've heard of families that have a set menu on weeknights. Tacos every Monday, spagetti on Tuesdays, breakfast for dinner on Wednesdays, etc. On Weekends, they vary things more.
If it weren't just me and Randy around, I think I'd try that system on weeknights. Around here, Randy has to put up with dried cereal for dinner.
Love ya!
I cook all the meat for the week when I prepare for Shabbat. Generally a lot of chicken. Meatballs and meatloaf freeze well. The chicken also freezes well.
You can make all sorts of things with the cooked meat.
