[quote=Anonymous]It's Monday through Thursday that feels like a particular challenge in our house, because of work, school, sports practices.  I've built up a little repertoire of easy weeknight recipes from various sources including this site  http://www.myrecipes.com/quick-and-easy/dinner-tonight/ and epicurious.   I have created a special folder for "easy weeknight meals" and save anything that catches my fancy.    Each weekend I put the ingredients for maybe two of these recipes, and put the ingredients on my shopping list.  Then I have a few stand-by, no-brainer meals.  Like, I always have a jar of pasta sauce and a box of pasta. I always have a box of Zatarain's red beans and rice and a pound of kielbasa.  I doctor these up depending on what I have in the fridge --ie chop up some olives and capers and throw them into the pasta sauce.  Plus, I always have something in the freezer like chili.

So, with pretty little effort, from Monday through Thursday, we have a few "interesting" options, and a few of the stand-by/no-brainers/freezer items.

Friday night we usually go out for dinner or order in.  Saturday and Sunday we either grill (even in winter) or so some sort of "fun" thing that's a little too much of a pain to do during the week.
