I think my favorite thing about our apartment is the jasmine hanging outside our front door. It’s in full bloom right now…every time I leave the house I see it, smell it, and smile. I can’t share the amazing smell with you, but I can share their beauty!
MONDAY:
- Tacos
TUESDAY:
- Breakfast for dinner (I swear we haven’t been having breakfast for dinner week after week…just haven’t done it yet! Not that there’s anything WRONG with having breakfast for dinner every week, of course…sounds good to me!)
WEDNESDAY:
- Chicken Salad Sandwiches
THURSDAY:
- Hawaiian Pizza
FRIDAY:
- Spaghetti (Cate’s new favorite meal, apparently)
SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:
- Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill

I know last week was a holiday, so I’ll cut you a little slack…but it’s back to normal life, people! Post your menus! We all love seeing them! If you haven’t posted before, go for it!
Hello! My name is Jane Maynard and you've landed yourself on my blog, This Week for Dinner™. Every Sunday I share a weekly menu...and then count on you to share your own! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
Last week we I did very little cooking and am trying to get back into the swing of it this week! We’ll see how it goes!

Friday: Crockpot Salsa chicken, brown rice
Saturday: Leftovers
Sunday: Chicken sausages, roasted potatoes, grilled veggies
This week I’m starting my night job, in addition to my day job…ugh. So we’re experimenting in things I can make in advance or for yummy leftovers so my husband is not eating fast food every night!
Sunday: Chipotle Chicken Enchiladas
Monday: Leftover Enchiladas – totally yummy the next night!

I just had to comment on the jasmine. I have a ton right near the mailboxes in my complex and I love checking the mail just to get a smell of those flowers. Northern California is winning me over!
Also, I wanted to see if you had any ideas for hamburgers. I love hamburgers and have played with grilled pineapple – which I love – but I was wondering if you had any other good toppers or ideas to “spice up” my hamburgers?
Supreme Veggie Pizza with Mozzarella and Feta
Homemade Marinara Sauce and Pasta
Rosemary Lemon Chicken Kebabs and Zucchini Orzo
and Leftovers a couple times.
I’m not sure which day I’m making which of these yet, but here’s my plan.

shantel…I wish I had some great ideas for you, but I don’t…but I WILL do a hamburger post. I’ll share how I mix up my meat and ask everyone for their ideas for toppings…post to come soon, promise!
kristen – your comment cracked me up. my husband wanted to start “whatwereallyhadfordinner.com” and be the whistleblower on my menus!
I actually do a pretty decent job sticking to it, but I am going to do just what you said, keep track for the next three weeks and report back. when my plans change, it’s usually because we end up using leftovers in a new way or something like that, so it would definitely be a helpful post. anyway, in three weeks I will report and you can all give me a grade. hopefully I pass!
