Re: What's for dinner this week?

Tonight I am making skirt steak marinated in Mccormicks peppercorn and garlic and cheesy mashed potatoes.. the mashed potatoes are a new recipe for me, so I don't know how good they are yet, but I got it from Rachel Ray so it can't be that bad!!

Tonight: Turkey Tacos with all the fixings.

Tomorrow: bow tie pasta with burst cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, reggiano and sausage. Italian bread. Tossed greens in a basil vinegeriette.

Thursday: Marinated London Broil, Homemade Rice Pilaf, Asparagus and Mushrooms sauteed w/garlic and Tomato Mint salad.

Friday: Greek Chicken pitas (marinate chicken in olive oil, lemon and greek seasoning - grill with a little extra greek seasoning, salt and pepper. Slice up and stuff in pita with fresh spinach, cucumber, tomato, thin sliced onions, feta cheese and a couple of Kalamata olives) and a side of orzo cooked in chicken stock. I make a light lemon sauce for both the orzo and the pitas.

Saturday is book club. I am making Asian Lettuce cups, fried wontons and grilled pineapple.

Sunday is my day of rest.. BBQ day at in laws.

Saturday was marinated london broil with baked potato, sour cream, & chives and caesar salad (homemade dressing)

Sunday was a huge salad with mozzarella cheese, provolone, sopressata (sp?), tomatoes, cucumbers (we eat light on sundays because we make big ice cream sundaes for dessert!)

Monday was regular burger for me, turkey burger for DH with lettuce, tomato, pickles, & red onion with side salad.

Tonight is penne a la vodka with garlic bread.

Tomorrow is Jerk Chicken wings with tater tots and corn on the cob.

That's as far as we got! My mom is coming on Thursday so we'll play it by ear then.

I made fettucini with butternut squash and shrimp. It was delicious!!! Saute the squash in oil and add one cup of vegetable broth. Then puree in blender. Pour over pasta and cooked shrimp. Add a cup of parmagiana cheese. Delicious!!!

This is Giada's recipe.
