My dad is visiting this week, and that usually means we eat out a lot and/or try a lot of new recipes. This time I didn’t plan anything fancy, though, probably because it’s Perry Mason Junior Week! And as such, all I’ve been thinking about is babies. So it’s a pretty simple meal plan this week, with a significant dose of days on which I’m not sure what we’ll be doing.

Monday: Cheeseburgers

Rockford also requested potato salad as part of the Labor Day feast, but I don’t think I’ve ever made potato salad before! That’s always been Rockford’s mother’s or my Uncle Jim’s job. I hope I’m up to the task!

Tuesday: Baked ravioli

I wanted something simple, and this is most definitely that!

Wednesday: ?

We’re going to be doing a lot of running around, so we might be having Wendy’s Wednesday. We’ll see.

Thursday: Hospital food, maybe

It’s Perry Mason Jr day!!

Friday: Pizza

It was a tough weekend.

Monday: Hawaiian meatballs

Tuesday: Apple-braised chicken

Wednesday: Tacos

Thursday: Beef & broccoli stir-fry

Friday: Pizza

I seem to have left my words in Pigeon Forge, where we spent a few days last week. Here’s what we’re having for dinner this week. Please let me know if you see my brain anywhere.

Monday: Quesadillas

It’s a meal about which no one will give me guff.

Tuesday: Omelets

The children resisted trying my omelets on breakfast-for-dinner night until a few weeks ago, when they decided — and rightly so — that omelets are one of the greatest delicacies known to man. Now they’re requesting omelets for every meal.

Wednesday: Sandwich night

And when I say “No, children, we cannot eat omelets for every meal”? They ask for a sandwich.

Thursday: Beef & broccoli stir-fry

Rockford, however, prefers stir-fry over omelets and most sandwiches. (A good Cuban might win out over stir-fry.)

Friday: Pizza

We’ve been picking up Papa Murphy’s pizzas a lot lately, but we tried the Sam’s Club take-and-bake last week and it was pretty decent. So this week’s pizza will most likely be a take-and-bake, but where will it be from? It’s a mystery!
