Grilled pork chops

with broccoli and left-over biscuits and raw veggies.

Last night was the chicken, in an Indian (Korma?) simmer sauce from Trader Joe's. A little spicier than I remembered from the last time we had it, but still good over couscous.

I need to edit the Thursday/Friday menu - Thursday will probably be eggs, reasonably quick. The pre-teen wants to go to the book fair that night. Friday will be leftover beef stew because it can be reheated really quickly after the mid-kid gets home from karate.

Beef stew

I scavenged the freezer today and found a "braising" steak, some chicken thighs, and some pork chops. The steak got cubed and cooked with onions, celery, and garlic for a couple of hours; then I added carrots and potatoes. Biscuits from Bisquik and salad to round out the meal (and, of course, mac & cheese for the kidlets).

Last night was leftover Chinese - the crispy fried tofu actually reheated a lot better than I thought it would; the sesame chicken was a lot worse.

Menu planning...
Tomorrow will be the chicken thighs in some sort of simmer sauce (I know there's a couple in the pantry) and Tuesday will be the pork chops, probably just grilled. Wednesday will be out. Thursday and Friday will be pizza or quesadillas and some sort of fish. Saturday I'll make bean soup, and Sunday will be on the fly.

Hamburgers and hot dogs

with tater tots and smiley face potatoes. Yum! TMOTH even made the hamburgers so I didn't have to touch the ground beef.
Cake-from-a-mix is in the oven for desert. Double yum.

We had turkey soup with barley last night instead of turkey pot pie. It just seemed easier, even though it probably took as long to cook.
