Before I moved to San Diego 8 years ago, I hated cilantro. After living 20 miles from Mexico for over 6 years, well…now I love cilantro. I am currently experiencing a similar metamorphosis with sourdough bread. Before we moved to the Bay Area…blech. But it is really starting to grow on me. What’s more, there are so many different kinds of sourdough here, it’s really fun trying them all out! Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?
On to the menu!
MONDAY:
– Baked Stuffed Winter Squash (more on this recipe another day!)
TUESDAY:
– Tortilla Soup
WEDNESDAY:
– Barbeque Pulled Pork (more on this recipe another day, too!)
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers
FRIDAY:
– My Birthday! AND…I get to go to a dinner in Napa Valley with Rocco DiSpirito…Rocco heard it was my birthday and wanted to do something special. Just kidding. It’s a pre-BlogHer Food dinner I was invited to that should be pretty darn fun!
SATURDAY:
– BlogHer Food conference – can’t wait!
SUNDAY:
– Paninis
Please post your own menu for the week! Can’t wait to see what you’re having…and to browse your ideas for next week’s planning!
Hi! 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 count on you to share yours! You'll also find other deliciousness that I hope you'll enjoy!
I haven’t figured out my menu yet because I’ve been too busy with last minute travel plans since I was able to aquire a BlogHer Food ticket. I had no idea you were going to be there, but I hope we get to meet up! I’ll come back with my menu later. 🙂
So I managed to break my ankle(badly, surgery and all that fun) and am out of cooking for the next 6 weeks. Anyone have menu ideas that can be made with VERY limited mobility and probably no stove top (unless I can figure out some neat acrobatics) Until I can stand again no menu from me.
Sunday – Chicken Salad, Fruit, Warm Homemade Bread.
Monday – Chilaquiles (Make on Sunday) and Veggies
Tuesday – Pasta with Red Sauce, Spinach and Chicken Sausage + Salad
Wednesday – Leftover Chilaquiles
Thursday – Leftover Pasta
Friday – Tilapia, Corn, Beans and leftover bread
Saturday – Take Out
So glad to find your blog! I have trouble with menu planning too. Trying to get back at it; cause it really saves this working mom time and thinking!
Here’s my this week menu:
Sunday – salmon patties, creamed potatoes, biscuits and english peas (just ate! Yummy)

Tuesday – Baked loaded potatoes and baked apples

I love sourdough bread. Growing up we always went to a restaurant in Malibu called the Sea Lion. We would get coleslaw and sourdough bread. Yum!
Monday – BBQ Chicken Pizza that I linked to last week because I never made it. We ordered pizza instead, but I have the cheese and the sauce made for it so I better make it!
Tuesday – I’m craving soup – either an apple squash soup or the tortilla soup you’re planning on.
Wednesday – leftovers!
Thursday – Sundried Tomato and Spinach Lasagna because hubby can eat leftovers while I’m gone and a big salad
Friday – Eating in SF with Kristen from Dine&Dish
Saturday – BlogHer Food

That Tortilla Soup looks yummy. I’ve always loved cilantro even though I live nowhere near Mexico (I’m in Boston). I’m totally jealous you’re having dinner with Rocco. Have fun! Wish I could go to BlogHer Food!!
I don’t have a menu this week, but I have been in search of acorn squash to make the Eating Well Southwestern Stuffed Acorn Squash that became a staple in our house last fall / winter. I haven’t seen any yet, though, and it is making me antsy. The cooler weather we’ve been having in Seattle is giving me some serious cravings. Anyway, can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve for stuffed squash!!
as always, love all the menus!
katie – can’t wait to see you this weekend!
matt – so sorry to hear about your ankle! that is AWFUL! sending positive vibes your way…
deltha – happy birthday to you, too! so fun! I like your 39th year plan. 🙂
lana – SO happy the tortilla soup was a hit! I’m seriously addicted to it right now!
hillary – they had acorn squashes at my safeway today here in the bay area…keep your eyes peeled! if i have them, yours must not be far behind!

I just found your website and am loving it, esp. the way it is so UNPRETENTIOUS!

Monday – Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans
Tuesday-Friday – The next four days are tough, kids have football practice (although usually not on Wed.) and don’t get home til late – I never know what to fix. They are not hungry beforehand, so they end up staying up too late to eat if we have a real meal or they get fast food on the way home…not good! anybody have any ideas? Maybe just sandwiches, but it’s several nights a week…
Saturday – out to dinner
Sunday – chili and cornbread
