Our menu plan last week had a smattering of new recipes. But, the week did not start off on a good note -- rotten chicken and moldy mushrooms. Since I didn't have time to get to the store, we improvised. Chicken cordon bleu became "cordon bleu" sans the chicken. Chicken Marsala ravioli became pizza margherita. The pizza turned out to be a smashing hit -- so, in a way, I'm thankful for the dinner that almost wasn't.
The rest of the week was the "birthday special" for Frog Prince -- who, believe it or not, turned 29 last week!

Hope you have a great week -- I'll try to post some new recipes before the weekend, but my posting Thursday-Sunday might be sparse so we can enjoy time with family.
Looks like a great menu for the week, even with it being a short one. I hope you have fun celebrating with your sister! The mac and cheese sounds delicious...I'm making a version of it this week too, but next time I'm going to give yours a try. Heck, if it snagged someone a husband, it must be good!!

mmm sounds good! :) We're making your Three Cheese Ziti this week--I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI made your white cheddar mac and cheese a while ago and was really disappointed in the flavor. But I think I used a cheese that was too mild. What type of white cheddar do you use?
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! I'll be over on your next pizza night. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYum! Love chicken cordon bleu!! :D We're trying out the buns this week with some burgers.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!!
