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!

I hope you like the bistro chicken!
I keep meaning to write and tell you that we LOVE the bistro chicken! Made it for the first time 2 weeks ago and it’s back on my menu for this coming week. SO easy and everyone enjoyed it, even my picky 7 year old. Winner!

Multiple Goldfish flavors for a nosh and The Wife is going to do cupcakes with decorated with the cookie-flavored Goldfish.

gotta love turmoil, eh? I find when our schedule gets crazy and then finally calms down a bit, being able to cook dinner at home is such a relief.
Wow, it has been so long since I’ve posted a menu. I think we’ll be having the following this week and I’m not sure what we’ll have on what days, so here is the list:
*pork tenderloin, homemade rice-a-roni, broccoli
*chicken bacon ranch wraps
*BLTs
*fried chicken, green beans, mac & cheese
*steaks on the grill, corn, potatoes
*fajitas
I was also being lazy today and decided to buy one of those veggie trays that they have already done up at the grocery store so I can just put those out at either lunch or dinner as our veggie. I hardly ever buy them because I think it’s silly to spend that much on the pre-cut/washed veggie tray when I could separately buy the veggies cheaper but I had surgery on my foot last week and am trying to make things as easy as possible.
I hope your recovery is going well and you shouldn’t think twice about buying that veggie tray!
