Sometimes you just need a bowl of Frosted Flakes. Am I wrong? Nope, I’m not. 😉 (No, this sentence was not sponsored. I just really wanted Frosted Flakes for breakfast. Although, I’ll take a check if Kelloggs wants to send it.)
Here’s the plan for this week!
MONDAY:
– Chicken Fried Steak, because I haven’t eaten it in ages and I just feel like it. Probably will use Ree’s recipe, but any pointers are welcome since I’ve NEVER made it.
– Mashed potatoes and green beans
TUESDAY:
– Easy Peasy Bean Tacos
WEDNESDAY:
– Spinach and Pancetta Stuffed Shells
– Salad
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers
FRIDAY:
– Eat out
SATURDAY:
– Playing by ear…
SUNDAY:
-Chicken Pot Pie (new recipe to try)
– Veggies of some sort
You know what to do…post your menu for the week! We want to see it! THANK YOU! 🙂
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’m going to pulling up the slow cooker and using it on the days I have classes @ the college campus. It’s just easier to know dinner is cooking when your a mom and college student. College at 42 is hard. My brain just has too much going on 🙂
Costco had 5 lbs of ricotta for $6, so I’m making two BIG lasagnas. One for dinner and lunches this week and one to freeze. I also need to use up some frozen Ono, so I’ll be grilling that for two meals. Greek Chicken Gyros are one of my easiest and most delicious meals…I make a simple yogurt sauce and serve inside Trader Joe’s Mediterranean flat bread. I only have to buy a few ingredients since I’m trying to clean out the pantry and freezer, but it should be a tasty week!
Sunday-Hearty Meat Lasagna, homemade Caesar Salad, Garlic Bread
Monday and Tuesday-Grilled Fish, Brown Rice, Steamed Veggies
Wednesday-Greek Chicken Gyros with homemade cucumber yogurt sauce, Rice Pilaf, Greek Salad
Thursday-Teriyaki Chicken (actually, TJs Island Soyaki Chicken)Rice bowls. (Includes Chicken, Pineapple, Cilantro Rice, and Stir Fry Veggies)

It must be frosted flakes season, as I have been Jonesing for some also and kept putting it off saying I don’t need the brand cereals, I need to keep with my Kashi….until my 4 year old asked in the store, “mommy can we puh-lease buy frosted flakes? I really want them.”
I wasted not a second more.
I have been MIA for awhile and really missing this site, but life has been quite stressful and emotional these last months, so I had to put stuff like this (aka free time) on hold.
Mon–family dinner at aunt and uncles house
Tues-Beef Stroganoff
Wed
