I think my early Thanksgiving dinner will happen in two weeks. I’m going to do a trial run for pictures and to make sure I have all the recipes posted so I can do a shopping list / menu this year.

-Monday: out (evening meetings)
-Tuesday: shrimp risotto w/asparagus and spinach salad (PS: it was GOOD…I think I'll put mushrooms in it next time!)
-Wednesday: chicken tikka masala w/some more asparagus…it was on sale (never made any Indian dishes before, so this is my brave dish for the week!)
-Thursday: chicken strips with mac & cheese and green beans
-Friday: chili and curried cole slaw
-Saturday: beef stew and spinach salad

I have one new thing in here this week (tikka masala), but most of it is old reliable things I can fix quickly, since my husband and I both REALLY busy this week!

Here's my menu for the week:

Monday – Paula Deen’s Macho Nachos
Tuesday – Scalloped Potatoes and Beans in the crockpot
Wednesday – Sweet Italian Sausage Tortelloni with salad and garlic bread
Thursday – Spicy Salmon and Rice Salad
Friday – BBQ Chicken Calzones
Saturday – Rachael Ray's Oven Baked Corn Dogs with Tater Tots and green beans
Sunday – Southwestern Corn Soup with salad and rolls

I definitely want to try making a homemade Homewrecker sometime – my husband LOVES Moe's but we are trying not to eat out for a while

Some of my more frugal cohorts will disagree, but sometimes I am all for whatever it takes to cook at home. First, it establishes a routine and second if it makes the experience enjoyable, a person is more likely to find cooking less of a pain in the butt.

I make the guacamole, it is super fast and disappears even faster.

I really would like to see the recipe for the bell pepper salad.

I'm going to still the Thanksgiving sampler idea! I seriously never even think about having Turkey, other than thanksgiving.

1. Roast-I bought the cute tiny potatoes and cute tiny onions to throw in whole (instead of slicing potatoes and onions) and extra mushrooms. I am oddly very excited about these miniature vegetables.
2. Beef Quesadillas
3. Build your own Grilled Cheese and tomato soup (have to have an easy item planned, we had it tonight, perfect because it was 59 degrees out and was such a comfort dinner). I had 3 choices for cheese, ham, turkey, tomato, and onion as choices.
4. Chicken Pot Pie
5. Hamburgers (I am going to try a new recipe this week…but haven't decided what) corn on the cob and salad
6. Steak, garlic french bread, asparagus
7. Parmesan stuffed chicken…we had this Saturday (did my shopping in Friday) and I have no idea what we had with it.
