Short menu for this week

Well, I will admit it, I had nothing at all planned for meals this week until I was trying to figure out what to cook tonight. I had to go through the freezer, fridge and pantry to see what all we have and what needed to be used up and came up with a plan. :)

Tonight was easy, I chopped up a few tomatoes and some lettuce, cooked some ground beef and refried beans and we had tacos. We hadn't had them in a while and they sure tasted yummy!

Tomorrow I'll make stuffed shells, a nice salad and garlic bread.

Thursday we'll have chicken and rice (very easy..brown the chicken breasts, I season them w/ salt, pepper and paprika and brown in olive oil, then add water & instant brown rice to pan. Once most of the water is absorbed I add 2 cans of condensed soup (whatever I have on hand...but not tomato) then I add broccoli and some cheese. Put a lid on the pan and cook until chicken is done and broccoli is cooked through, but not too mushy...LOL How's that for a good kitchen term? he he)

Friday is pizza night.

Not sure about Sat. & Sun. yet...there's time to figure it out. I'll have to go get groceries at some point over the weekend. Maybe before then I'll look through my cookbooks and find some yummy recipes that I haven't made in a while. :)
