After four days of food!leftovers!eat!eat!eat!, I really didn’t want to think about the menu yesterday. But I figured we’d all be hungry again tonight, so I forced myself. And I ended up with a few dishes that I’m actually looking forward to trying out!

Monday: Maple Dijon Chicken
I’m not so sure about the maple-dijon combo, but I already had most of the parts for this so I thought we’d give it a try. Update! I thought the flavor was a tad bland. But Poppy ate it! The chicken! The rice! The sweet potatoes! I’ll definitely make this one again.

Tuesday: It’s my mom’s birthday, so I’m going out to dinner with her. My mother-in-law has agreed to take in Rockford and the kids for the evening.

Wednesday: Hungarian Meatball Stew
This is another new recipe for us. Rachael Ray has become my go-to source for soup. She hasn’t let me down so far.

Thursday: Veggie pot pie

Friday: Pizza
