We’re having another budget-friendly menu this week, although it might not seem that way. Our local grocery store was having a great sale on pork roasts, I have chicken in the freezer already and we got an Outback gift card for Christmas. Hooray for sales and generous relatives and having things on hand!

Monday: Southwestern pork and sweet potatoes

Tuesday: Outback

Wednesday: Sauteed chicken and peppers with coconut rice
I pulled this recipe out of a magazine about a year ago the August 2007 issue of Real Simple, and I have yet to try it. I’ll let you know if it’s any good!

Thursday: Sizzling Rice Soup
I was a very picky eater as a kid. I don’t remember willingly eating vegetables of any kind unless they were in Forbidden City’s Sizzling Rice Soup. I’ve tried to make it before, and it never comes out quite right. So I’m trying yet another new recipe this time.

Friday: Pizza
