Eating Out or Take Out ??

Last week we did Chicken Wraps and Chicken fries with homemade French fries, sweet potato tater tots, smiles, and more for Monday dinner.  I had my parents and one of my son's friends who stayed for dinner so I wasn't sure what to make so I made a lot.  I decided that it was good because I could plan to use the leftover chicken on a buffalo chicken pizza or for leftover night in something else.  I also used the chance to make chili on Monday because there was someone home all day with it while it cooked on the stove but it turned out that many picked at it so I put it out of the table on Monday night too.  I put some in the fridge and some on the freezer so we have another container to defrost later through the winter when the schedule is more busy.

Tuesday was a little bit of a mystery because my parents were leaving and the refrigerator is a mess so I decided on leftovers because we were going to be out all day with different library programs so I knew that I didn't have time to cook but we ended up doing chili and chopped salad with corn.  Wednesday was homemade pizza which was tasty.

Thursday ended up being leftover night which we used up lots of from the fridge before heading out to the pool.  Friday night I still hadn't taken anything out of the freezer to eat so we ended up making family fun night in front of the television with leftovers and a little bit of everything from the freezer.  Saturday I finally got the chicken out and I decided to do Chicken Stir Fry with Sesame Ginger sauce and garlic green beans.  We ate until we were stuffed because it was so yummy...although I barely got it defrosted so you might see a pattern here.  Sunday night we went to the pool and then we had Olive Oil Spaghetti with pan fried zucchini.  

I need to get the plan together a little more for this week but this is what I have so far..subject to change because my parents are coming back into town so I don't know what I am going to be making for all of us but I guess I will figure that out and do better about taking food out of the freezer!
