On Tuesday night we had Chicken Scallopine with Caper-Butter Sauce--it was SO good! I am going to go post it in Phase II Recipes. Also had steamed broccoli and dipped it in some of the extra chicken sauce.
I am having a pork and peppers dish I made this morning. It serves 4 so I'll have 3 more meals frozen for my stash! I'll post the recipe when I get a chance. I'm having it with baked acorn squash and Becel plus sf orange marmalade and cinnamon.
Okay, the menu ended up getting rearranged this week. The Schwan's guy showed up at the office, so I HAD to stock up my freezer.
Tonight is going to be turkey mignon - yummy - with summer squash casserole and salad. Tomorrow will be stir fry and the pork chops are OUT! (DH is complaining that we eat pork chops to often.)
Have thought about this. What am I going to make for dinner tonight. My gosh I am not Betty Crocker lol.
I think parsley potatoes ( 4 small round can potatoes ) fried with a touch of butter, BBQ pork ribs ( two average size), mixed veggies ( half a cup frozen ) cooked with a touch of butter and cottage cheese ( 1/2 cup, full fat ) I got the wrong kind lol.
Don't usually measure calories and such but thought someone might be interested.

Doesn't sound to bad. I take all amounts straight off the packaging.
I realize that this is not the same as a casserole made with a creamy soup, but if you don't overdo with the olive oil, the squash forms a "casserole-type" consistency. Either way, it's delish.
For the summer squash casserole:
4 med. summer squash sliced and tossed in extra virgin olive oil with minced or crushed garlic and seasonings (usually parsley, basil or oregano ~ or all three!) Bake at 350* for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, I make bread crumbs out of two stale slices whole grain bread. Mix bread crumbs with ICBINB spray (usually 2 or 3 squirts) and a TBSP grated parmesan cheese and top squash with them. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until crumbs are golden brown and crispy. Yummy!
(This is only for P2 ~ I would say that an average size serving has about 1 - 2 TBSP. bread crumbs, if that.)

That is just what I decided for dinner tonight. I try to think about dinner in the morning. I am a very organized person. Yes, I generally know what I am going to do and pretty much stick with it. Have always been this way. I am so unorganized I have to be very organized if that makes any sense. I have a master list for my lists lol.
dcapulet: I usually plan my meals for the week on Saturdays and go grocery shopping on Sundays. The sequence of the meals will change depending on what's going on, but I typically stick pretty close to the menu. It definitely helps me to stay OP. Not having a solid dinner plan for me usually means eating out, which is very hard for me to do and stick to SB guidelines!
Wow! I wish my DH was as predictable as yours is. I'm always getting, "Didn't we have this twice this month already?" When that happens, he ends up cooking the next night. Mama don't take no lip!
