Despite the continuing heat wave, I am planning the following for our week.
Monday - Chicken broccoli stuffing casserole. Since I forgot to make our turkey dinner (see Sunday's little disaster) I am going to make a dish with the homemade stuffing that I has been piling up in the freezer. This should be a nice substitute until the next attempt at a turkey dinner.
Tuesday - mushroom Swiss grilled cheese - I love frying up some frozen mushrooms in butter, adding some fresh sliced tomatoes topped with low fat mayonnaise and melted cheese. I squish all of this stuff between two pieces of homemade whole grain bread and brown it using our George Foreman grill. Yum!
Wednesday - My hubby works late on Wednesday's so I normally make something easy for the three of us. This also gives me a night to catch up on baking or other important jobs...actually giving the kids a bath would be a good example. Wading pools nor sprinkler's count as a bath, right?
Thursday - whole grain pasta and homemade pasta sauce with bread machine rolls. This is the last of the large batch of pasta sauce I made with some cut up zucchini. I just checked our zucchini plant and I see dozens of those little veggies taking off so I have to make room for the upcoming onslaught.

Friday - Turkey divan pizza. I recently bought a behemoth bag of broccoli and after making Monday's dinner should have plenty left for this little twist on traditional pizza
Saturday - Baked Oatmeal - I am going to try whole oats soaked instead of steel cut. I know this grain should be soaked for more than the required 12 hours so I am going to try to remember to soak the previous morning to get a full 24 hours in. Seeing how well I remembered the turkey this may or may not happen
Sunday - Turkey dinner - We were supposed to have turkey dinner last Sunday but thanks to me, we did not. I conveniently remembered Saturday night to take out the frozen 15 lb bird for the following evening. Pancakes and beans were a quick substitute and although tasty were far from the anticipated turkey and all of the fixings
