- Saturday: “Country-style Steak” and mashed potatoes
- The temperatures dropped on Friday night. After several “bonus” weeks of summer weather, Saturday was almost breathtakingly brisk. So I was awfully glad that I’d put something as stick-to-your-ribs as this on the menu. It was my first attempt at making cube steak. Rockford loved it, but it wasn’t as tender as I’d hoped it would be. C’est la viande, I suppose.
- Sunday: Chicken Taco Soup
- Some members of my family might tell you that I became a little too attached to taco soup and variations thereupon a few years ago. I made it at least once a week for awhile there. I haven’t made it in quite a long time, though, and did I mention that it’s suddenly cold outside? A nice spicy chicken taco soup is just the thing when it’s suddenly cold outside.
- Monday: Red beans & rice
- Something else we used to eat frequently: Zatarain’s rice mixes. Then I hit the Zatarain’s wall and didn’t make it for a long, long time. I seem to have gotten over the wall, though, because it’s back!
- Tuesday: Spaghetti
- Our local grocery store had a super deal on pasta sauce last week. Rockford is now referring to the pantry as “the spaghetti sauce room.” (There isn’t that much in there. I’m no April Blum. Speaking of Zatarain’s.)
- Wednesday: Breakfast for dinner
- Eggs. Veggie sausages. The kids love it. I … will eat something else, probably.
- Thursday: Stuffed baked potatoes
- Food Network Magazine has a feature every month on 50 different ways to make something. This month, it’s baked potatoes. I’m giving their “pizza-stuffed” potatoes a go. Because pizza-flavored things are always good (see: Combos, Doritos, pizza).
- Friday: Pizza
- Too much pizza in one week? Not hardly.

What is a C’est la viande?
That was my clearly flawed attempt to be funny. “C’est la vie” means “such is life.” “Viande” is French for “meat.”
