Menu Update + Another Menu

Making my tuna salad sandwiches Saturday

So how did I do sticking with my menu?  Really well!  I was surprised at how well it worked, actually.  I felt much more prepared when fixing meals the last few days.  The only thing I did “wrong” was eating chicken chili for two nights instead of one, and making biscuits instead of having grilled cheese. It was delicious.

I am prepared to share another menu with you, but it includes a lot of leftovers. That’s fine, though – I love cooking like that!

Right now, we have leftover Chicken Chili, Chicken a la King (and rice), and orange jello with carrots and pineapple.  Combined with fruit and veggies, that’s enough for a few meals already, which is great because I work quite a few hours this week.

Fruit this week:
Oranges (we have three left)
Bananas
Cantaloupe

Things I would like to make this week if I get a chance:

* I know that Thursday is Valentine’s Day and this is a very simple meal.  We are planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day on Friday with another fancy meal at home (to be announced but might look very similar to Tuesday’s meal) and another couple.

So what’s on your menu this week?
