Monday
Lunch: Carnitas Salads (mmm, leftover carnitas!)
Dinner: Asian Beef + Cauli Rice Bowls
Tuesday
Lunch: Grilled Sausages + Broccoli + Salad
Dinner: TBD Burgers + Sweet Potato Fries + Salad
Wednesday
Lunch: Grilled Chicken Thighs + Green Beans
Dinner: Green Curry Chicken + Vegetables + Salad
Thursday

AndreAnna gets here!
Girls Weekend!
Friday
Today will probably involve some lunch at the Beacon Bar & Grill and definitely some Rum Runners. Maybe after an Emerald Bay Hike and some fun shopping? My favorite Lake Tahoe trip!
Liz gets here!
Saturday
Sonoma Trip! You KNOW this means there will be a meal at the Sonoma Cheese Factory and some lunch on the plaza. Duh.
Sat night, we will go somewhere fun!
Sunday
Brunch at Tower Cafe, for sure.
Then, I’m sure there will be more couch babysitting. It seems to be The Thing lately. 
What’s cooking in your neck of the woods this week?

That sounds like really good food!

Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned!
We’re startin Balanced Bites’ 21 day sugar detox today, so that should be scary/fun/interesting…
Here’s our dinners:
M: rotisserie chicken + fried green tomatoes (frost is coming ’round these parts… and then it’s supposed to be in the 70s this week, go figure.)
T: roasted red pepper spaghetti squash + chicken, garlic brussels sprouts (I’m going to attempt to convert the brussels-hater in my house!)
W: bacon-wrapped paleo meatloaf + turnip mash + roasted broccoli
Th: the smoky pot roast you guys had last week (how did that turn out, btw?), green beans
F: chicken chili
weekend: camping!

I’m winging it this week! I only know we are having cheeseburger lettuce wraps, squash fries, and steamed broccoli tonight! The rest of the week is up for suggestion…

I made kale & lentil soup, mushroom soup (no cream), pot roast, and roasted broccoli. Tomorrow night I’m making halibut. Mmm!
October 3, 2011 at 5:04 pm
Tonight: Turkey pot pie, I think?
Tomorrow lunch: Work pot luck! I’m bringing garlic cheese bread and caprese salad (Elizabeth’s tomatoes to the rescue!) Word is there will be quiche (umm, like I need more meals encased in pastry, but whatevs), a burrito bars and Oktoberfest-like desserts. Which means pumpkin, I guess? Which means ick.
Tomorrow dinner: Parchment tilapia, although Chris bought leeks, rather than fennel, so part of me wants potato leek soup and…fish, I guess.
Wednesday lunch: Leftovers? Who knows.
Wednesday dinner: Steak, corn, and black bean chili.
Thursday lunch: Leftover chili, probs.
Thursday dinner: Something with chicken? I’m open to suggestions!
Friday: We’ll be in Bakersfield as you well know. BOO.
