Here we go, that first stretch of non-holiday living.  Ready or not, it’s back to the grind.  This week is an attempt to only hit the produce & dairy section.  We didn’t eat at home as much as I had planned last week*  and now we have leftovers that must be used quickly.  We are also trying to get back into the habit of having a salad with nearly every meal.

MondayMustgo soup**, homemade rolls
TuesdaySpaghetti with meatballs, tossed salad
WednesdayC.O.R.N.***
ThursdayBeef and vegetable fajitas,  refried beans
FridaySeared scallops over rice pilaf, steamed broccoli, tossed salad
SaturdayBreakfast for dinner: pancakes, eggs, bacon, fruit
SundayHerb roasted chicken with raspberry sauce, green beans, parslied potatoes, salad

* Thanks for dinner, Mom

** The bulk of this week’s mustgo soup is from chicken, rice, and black beans.  As it already has a southwestern feel to it, I’ll add chicken broth, cilantro, and perhaps corn or tomatoes.  I love this technique for using up lots of leftovers.

OOooh it's been too long since I've had breakfast for dinner. Thanks for the reminder.

I'll be over for Friday too! It has been forever since I have had scallops! Yum-O!

The idea for the mustgo soup is fabulous! I will have to try and see if I can make a pot of this every week!

Thats it i'm coming over on friday...

Oh yum! I'm so moving in for a week.. oh wait, I have an appointment. Suppose I'll just steal your menu then.

Fabulous ideas. I love pancakes. It's been ages since we've fajita'd and you must share on how you cook your scallops. I order but I've never tried to make- totally intimidated.

Can you come clean out my fridge while you're at it? ;)

I love the mustgo soup idea ! I am definately going to have to try that !!!
