THESE are my greatest weakness…and tonight I succumbed. Warm cookies, about 10 minutes after they’ve come out of the oven. I wish I could resist, but I just can’t. I need a support group. Or maybe I just need to stop making the cookies. Yeah, right.
Your menus are always great inspiration as I plan. Thank you for always sharing! I need to mix things up a bit, so I’m going to start stealing ideas for things I haven’t cooked before. SOOOO…if I steal one of your menu items from a previous week and you have any tips/recipes I should know about, please share!
MONDAY:

TUESDAY:

WEDNESDAY:

THURSDAY:

– No, we haven’t had Orange Chicken 3 Sundays in a row…I just keep not making it because I’m LAZY. I suppose it makes for easy planning, this way!

I wish I could say I had a menu to add, but the husband is eating salads and sandwiches while I’m still on a soft foods diet. Lots of ice cream, pudding, apple sauce, and mashed potatoes for me.
Can you believe that I CANNOT find pitas where I live? It is driving me nuts…I’ve found several recipes that call for them….and I can’t find any. Even Wal-Mart quit carrying them….I guess southerners don’t like them…..sigh…..
that IS very strange…no pitas? it’s not THAT exotic of a food!
My menu is very lame this week, but I will post it anyway! I’m just going to extend the holiday out all week and take it easy on the cooking!
Monday – Catfish, Corn on Cob, green beans

Wednesday: Sauteed lemon-pepper chicken w/ pan sauce & garlic mashed potatoes
Thursday: Fajitas w/ flank steak and grilled veggies
Friday: Pancakes with Wild (Maine)Blueberry Fruit sauce from Trader Joes. (Jane, I know you are a big fan of TJ's- you have to try this if you haven't yet; it's amazing! Also, I love the regular pancake mix from TJ as well. hint- whip the egg whites first and fold them in, and you will have the fluffliest pancakes ever).
Saturday: Out to dinner-family in town.
We just got back in town last night so another short week (oh and our oven is not working!)

We had an extra long Labor Day weekend, so I’m not going to post a menu since this week has been crazy and it’s already almost Thursday! I did want to share my recipe for Greek salad with you, though. I am really excited to see that you’re making it! I’d love to hear how it turns out.
