Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and great guys in everyone’s lives out there! We started Nate’s day out today with some amazing pastries from Champagne Bakery and a nice fruit salad. We’ll be finishing the day off with perfectly-cooked steak, roasted fingerling potatoes and chocolate mousse. I think the whole family is benefitting from Father’s Day, not just Nate!
I have some news that I can’t quite share yet because I don’t want to jinx anything, but the “something” might be happening later this week, which may throw off our meal schedule. So, we’ll just see how the week goes! (And, no, it has nothing to do with having babies. Let’s just get those rumors out of the way now.)
MONDAY:
– Aaron and Lindsay’s Chicken Tortilla Soup Extravaganza!
TUESDAY:
– Grammy’s Orange Chicken
– Rice and veggie
WEDNESDAY:
– Fancy Dancy Nachos

THURSDAY:

FRIDAY:

Even though it’s Father’s Day, and I’m a father, I am still cooking dinner today. We’re having “goop” but you’ll have to wait a week or so to find out why it is so good. My wife usually cooks dinner the other 6 days of the week and I enjoy cooking, so why change for today? Our kids are grown and away from home or else we might have different plans.
I am a little behind on my regular blog posts, but I did get a story out about Monkey Bread: http://sundaydinnerfortwo.blogspot.com/2013/06/monkey-bread-why-we-should-have-more.html

I totally spaced on the sandwich call-for-recipes post, so hopefully you don’t mind if I post our favorite here. My husband loves this Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, and my father-in-law actually requested it the week after my mother-in-law passed away as the “only thing” he wanted to eat.

they’re just nachos I actually put a little effort into making! I add all kinds of yumminess besides just cheese…beans, meat, tomatoes, etc. makes them feel more like a respectable dinner, too! 😉
Seeing as it is Thursday, and I forgot what we had. I’m starting with today.
Thurs- mocked up pot pie(I have no clue how this will turn out)
Fri- takeout or leftovers
Sat- Fried rice
Sun- Steak; baked sweet potatoes; salad
that works! 🙂
I see so many delicious-sounding meals here! Sure wish I could make them all – however, my husband and son are NOT adventurous eaters. My daughter and I are, but I’d have to make two meals to satisfy everyone. Every once in awhile, we girls have a veggie/pasta meal when the guys are gone. We LOVE sauteed zucchini over pasta.
I don’t plan for specific days; just plan five/six meals and decide what I want to make each day as I go.
Lasagna roll ups, veggies
Grilled burgers, baked fries, cole slaw
Baked fried chicken (New recipe), Italian tomatoes
Chicken and noodles, veggies
Sausage, au gratin potatoes, veggie
