Second draft

This attempt is my second for this week's meal plan.  It's probably not Ann Marie China Lake hot, but it has been hot.  This sweet old house collects heat continues to leave us with 85-95 degree temps by 5pm  (and 80-88 degree temps at 8pm).  Opening the doors welcome buggies and flies so I look like a loon trying to keep them away from food.  Needless to say, I have little motivation to turn on the stove, much less to make dinner.  I'm going to see if prepping pasta and chopping veggies on my off day (today) will help reduce my evening cooking.  I am also trying to get clear our fridge and pantry before heading out to Tahoe next week so this week may not be very interesting.  

Sunday:  Thai take out at dinner at the last Coronado Concert in the Park ... sigh

Monday:  Leftover bean thread noodles with tofu and black bean sauce with sauteed veggies

Tuesday:  Chicken salad:  lebne, paprika, olives, celery, lemon and grapes with the chicken ... over greens and tomatoes.

OR:  Chicken with pasta, sundried tomatoes, brocollini and olives ... depends if I can prep the pasta in the morning!

Wednesday:  Chili lime tilapia with rice and Japanese eggplant with mushrooms  - this meal can be cut and cooked in 15-20 minutes.

Thursday:  Hamburgers and salad

Friday:   Leftovers

Saturday:  Pork tenderloin with grilled corn and tomatoes.  Didn't have a chance to do it last week.

Sunday:  Grilled pizzas-- whatever is in the veggie drawer

Kathy-- Can you please share your dough recipe?  We are experimenting.  I didn't realize you meal planned in the middle of the week-- maybe I can try that.  I plan around grocery shopping on my roving day off from work.

We'll see how this week goes!

XO-
Jennifer
