We've had some autumn-like weather in the past few days. Then we had some summery weather. Then it got all fall-y for a few days so that we couldn't go to the pool and missed those final moments, unreclaimable until next summer. Now it's hotter than hob of hell again and the central air is going full-tilt even when I get up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water. Whatever. I am cooking fall food and that's all there is to it: slow-cooker, bread machine, soups and stews, casseroles in the oven. Game on.Menu Plan for the Week of September 12, 2011
Monday - Vegetable soup (simmering on the stove right now and smelling so delicious I just want to, like, eat the air) and homemade whole wheat bread
Tuesday - Roasted chicken (not a Julia chicken; just seasoned boneless, skinless breasts), rice pilaf, green beans
Wednesday - Parmesan-crusted tilapia (the recipe for which I got off the back of the box the tilapia filets came packaged in), sweet potato "fries" and green beans
Thursday - Poured-Crust Pizza, Hawaiian-style, which means topped with spicy barbecue sauce, Canadian bacon, onions and pineapple chunks.
Friday - Mom's Best Easy Meatloaf, oven-roasted potatoes and carrots, apple cobbler

Maybe I'll drop by each night around dinner time this week. You are so good to think the whole week out like this...I am so bad at that, I just buy stuff I think will work and then figure out what I'm going to do with it along the way. I had a leftover grilled chicken breast, some leftover spaghetti, some marinara sauce and spinach...I shredded the chicken into the marinara sauce, reheated the spaghetti and tossed them together, tossed the fresh spinach on top so it barely wilted, and topped it all with mozarella. This is how I do dinner most of the time. You would be appalled.
