PP here. Sliced pears on a bed of romaine, drizzled with craisins, sliced almonds, and blue cheese chunks. Yum!

Monday - Zucchini & asparagus barely risotto, grilled chicken, salad
Tues - Quesadillas with leftover chicken, black beans, goat cheese, frozen edamame on the side
Wed - BBQ
Thurs - Panini's (Zuch, Tom, olives, goat cheese, basil), and roasted green beans on the side
Fri - Quiche with any leftover fridge produce, salad
Saturday -pizza with garden produce (I'm guessing more zuch, tomatoes, peppers, basil) and goat cheese

I planted too many tomato and zucchini plants this year and they are already coming out of our ears - is it obvious?

Rotten meat, putrid vegetables and sour milk, all courtesy of Pepco.

Another week! Here is our menu this week:

Monday: we didn't get to the grocery yesterday as we usually do. So tonight will either be Chipotle or homemade black bean burritos (brown rice, seasoned black beans, salsa, cheese) with frozen vegetables on the side.

Tuesday: Dinner out (date night) for the adults. Pasta and veggies for the kid.

Wednesday: 4th of July BBQ. I'm making corn salsa, guacamole, brownies.

Thursday: Pasta w/ spinach and white beans (adapting this recipe-using whole wheat pasta instead of gnocchi due to dietary restrictions - http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/skillet_gnocchi_with_chard_white_beans.html

Friday - grilled chicken and vegetables

Saturday - grilled chicken salad or grilled veggie pizza (might try this dough recipe: http://taste-for-adventure.tablespoon.com/2011/05/09/whole-wheat-pizza-crust/) using leftovers from Friday

Sunday: grilled fish and veggies

PP, what all is in a pear salad?

Sunday: Turkey Chili over Couscous, Candied Carrots, Caesar Salad

Monday: Baked Italian Chicken Strips, Pasta Alfredo, Strawberry Spinach Salad

Tuesday: Lemon Pepper Tuna, Apple Rice Pilaf, Broccoli Raisin Salad

Wednesday: Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Asparagus, Pear Salad

Thursday: Leftovers (if any) or Carry-Out Pizza

Friday: Grilled Ham Patties, Baked Sweet Potatoes, Marinated Vegetable Salad

Saturday: Breakfast Casserole, Fruit Smoothies

I love this idea! I am so bored with what I am cooking. Don't have next week's plan yet, but excited to be inspired.

15:47 here. Will do BLTs w/ avocado tonight.

Now, I have to figure out next week!

Monday: Pulled pork BBQ leftovers that were frozen, rice, and steamed carrots
Tuesday: Up-the-butt chicken on the grill (stick a can of Coke into the rear of a chicken and grill over indirect heat) w/ grilled potatoes and corn on the cob.
Wednesday: Black bean, corn, quinoa salad w/ chopped tomatoes. Side of spinach salad.
Thursday: Frozen pizza w/ leftover chicken, salads, and frozen broccolli.
Friday: Dinner at my parents' house
Saturday: Same as above
Sunday: Homemade personal pizzas on the grill and roasted brussel sprouts.

Sunday: Marinated buffalo flank steak, beet salad w/ scallions, cucumbers and feta
Monday: Turkey Burgers, fresh green beans
Tuesday: pizza

Thursday: leftovers
Friday: ??

Mon: rotini w/ (leftover) balsamic tomatoes and mozzarella
Tues: teriaki salmon w/ rice and spinach
Wed: tacos
Thurs: polenta "lasagna" with mushrooms and zucchini
Fri: roast, potatoes, broccoli

Sadly I am not in a good planning groove, but wanted to mention that the Six O Clock Scramble service (or even just the cookbook) is great for weekly seasonal menu planning.

Sunday: Homemade pie with pesto, white beans, tomatoes & manchego
Monday: tacos with chicken & fresh corn
Tuesday: pasta with sardines (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/31/dining/31mini.html)
Wednesday: panzanella
Thursday: leftover surprise!
Friday--it's the 4th and we are driving to grandma's. Road food!

In an effort to facilitate weekly menu planning (and encourage more home-cooked, healthy meals), I thought it would be a good idea to share our weekly meal plans. Please provide links to any recipes if you have any. I hope we can update this thread every week. Thanks in advance.

Monday: Pan-seared snapped with glazed turnips and sauteed spinach (trying to use my CSA veggies)
Tuesday: Leftovers from Sunday (pesto pasta with white beans, sauteed zuchinni, peas, and red onions)
Wednesday: Chicken fajitas
Thursday: Leftovers from Wed
Friday: frozen pizza and salad or frozen veggies
Saturday: black bean and brown rice burritos
