A Peek Into My Kitchen This Week!

It’s Sunday around here, and that means menu planning and grocery store duty.  For meals this week, here is the lineup...
Sunday:  Haley’s Special:  brown hamburger (or ground turkey) in an oven proof skillet with onion and garlic.  Drain.  Stir in a package of taco or chili mix and water and cook for 10 minutes.  Add some drained pintos if you like beans.  Take off the stove and add a layer of low fat shredded cheddar cheese, then top with a package of cornbread mix.  (I use Jiffy’s.)  Plop some jalapenos on the top if you like hot.  Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.  This is a bean and cornbread night for me.  Yummmm.
Monday:  Cajun pasta with crawfish, found here http://tworecipes.blogspot.com/2011/03/spicy-cajun-pasta.html   With a green salad.  Sounds divine, and rich, no?  I am not going to trick this recipe up one bit the first time I try it.  
Tuesday:  Steaks and baked potatoes.  This is a baked potato with low fat cottage cheese night for me.  Have you tried that?  Oh my....  I think some roasted cauliflower would go nicely.
Wednesday, aka American Idol night #1:  Vegetable frittata with leftover chopped up potato from Tuesday and bacon for the carnivores.  You know how to do a frittata, right?  If not, read here: http://tworecipes.blogspot.com/2011/03/leftovers-frittata.html 
Thursday, aka AI Results night:  Crock Pot (CP) chicken stroganoff found here http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Chicken-Stroganoff/Detail.aspx served over rice with a spinach salad made with mandarin oranges and red onion.
Friday:  Fiery fish tacos and corn salsa found here http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Fiery-Fish-Tacos-with-Crunchy-Corn-Salsa/Detail.aspx and some crunchy cowboy slaw.
Saturday:  out on the town with my cute date!
What’s on YOUR PLATE this week?
