I must’ve been in a very lazy state of mind when I made this week’s menu, because it is heavy on the EZ meals.

Monday: Tacos
I made the ground beef for this on Friday, when we had Mexican pizza. So I’ll have very little to do tonight beyond warming things up.

Tuesday: Mac ‘n’ cheese for the kids; leftover Orange Chicken for me

Wednesday: Huevos Rancheros
Rockford loves breakfast for dinner, and I love Mexican food. This might turn out to be our perfect meal.

Thursday: Fish sticks
I may get fancy and put mine on a bun.

Friday: Dinner out

Now, this has nothing to do with dinner. But I’m asking you here anyway, because it’s on my mind this morning. Rockford and I are 30. We have two children. I’m thinking it might be time to trade the futon in for a big-people sofa. What do you think?

Our schedule is taking a turn for the wacky this week, and it’s going to stay that way until May at the earliest. Our meal plan is changing along with it; Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to be eat-what-you-can-find nights. For the adults, at least. I probably won’t make the kids forage.

Monday: Tandoori chicken
I never actually made it last week.

Tuesday: Butternut squash ravioli
See? No foraging for the children.

Wednesday: Aglio e Olio
This is a fancy way of saying I’m going to toss some angel hair with oil, sauteed garlic and a little Parmesan.

Thursday: Grilled cheese

Friday: Pizza
