So this week was: * barbecued pork chops, baked potatoes, bean salad, green salad * barbecued steak, corn on the cob, grilled artichoke hearts (not a repeat) * marinated barbecued chicken leg quarters, green beans * chicken salad sandwiches, green salad with avocados and tomatoes * bbq'd burgers and leftover veggies from other nights plus salad Can you tell we got a new grill over the weekend? :) <abbr><em>Ellens last blog post..<a href="http://www.cheapcooking.com/blog/2009/05/chicken-salad-sandwich-recipe.html" rel="nofollow">Chicken Salad Sandwich: Simple is Good</a></abbr></em> I’ve been lazy lately and have been doing the opposite of planning: cooking on the spur of the moment but noting it down after the fact. ;) Keeps me aware of how old the leftovers are and what needs to be used up!

I made a garden variety spaghetti sauce this week and I put fresh spinach in it. (I'd seen it on your blog a few months back and just now got around to it.) I will say that I liked it and I was quite surprised that both of my girls ate it without any comments about the amount of vegetables in the sauce! Of course, I provided a bit of shredded parm cheese for a topping and we all know that makes anything better! <abbr><em>Nancys last blog post..<a href="http://3blondesandthelaw.blogspot.com/2009/04/we-interrupt-our-regularly-scheduled.html" rel="nofollow">We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming</a></abbr></em> Finally.

I read your menu and noticed the "asian" noodles on the menu. Yum! Did you ever get a chance to try the recipe of mine that you posted on here? It was the asian spaghetti and meatballs recipe I put together for the Friday Food series. I'm a feedback junkie and and after I get some, I tend to re-vamp my recipes.

So if there's an ingredient or two (or three) missing, unless it's really crucial like baking powder, I just carry on anyway. As for leftovers, my husband and I eat them for lunch during the week, and then typically one weekend lunch is a leftover meal as well. Hi Kika,

Also, I noticed you scheduled fourteen meals. Would you typically make a new supper each night (and not have leftovers even once)?
