TGIF...literally!

I am so so so glad it is finally Friday! This week has been dragging by for me thanks to my TV shows coming out with new episodes and my insane need to stay up late to watch them. Yes, I now consider 10:00 p.m. late. It's a pregnancy thing, just go with it. ;) Therefore, I have been exhausted during the day at work, which only makes the week seem to take that much longer. It's not like I have a relaxing weekend planned though. My weekend is packed pretty full again, so no new recipes are planned until next week. I am going to Nashville to a huge flea market tomorrow, so if I find anything interesting and/or exciting, I will post about that this weekend instead.

Anyway, since it is Friday here is my meal plan for next week (not everything will be blogworthy...LOL):

Monday: Pasta a la Carbonara

Tuesday: Risotto

Wednesday: Grilled Pork Chops with Roasted Corn (I'm also making Strawberry Cupcakes for the Ladies meeting I have Thursday night)

Thursday: Burgers & Fries

Friday: Leftovers

Putting It Out There

So, I'm going to take a step out and publish my meal plan for next week. It is a little scary for me because I don't want you to all think I'm a big loser if I don't follow through. This cooking every night or almost every night thing is starting to take its toll on me. It's not really the cooking part. It's the part where I come straight home from work and go right into the kitchen and begin cooking. Then sit down 45 minutes to an hour later and eat. At that point I am just exhausted. But I am so thankful to have a wonderful husband who will handle the clean up so I can go to bed early. This way I can enjoy my love of cooking and side step my loathing of cleaning up. ;)

My meal plan is only for the weeknights at the moment because we are so busy on the weekends right now. Saturday and Sunday, we end up just grabbing whatever we can find. So, here is what is in store for next week:

Meal Plan
4/21 - 4/25

Monday: Pizza - I am going to try my hand at making a white pizza this time. I'm sure Taylor will have his traditional pepperoni and cheese.

Tuesday: Emeril's Shake 'Em Up Pork Chops and Sauteed Potatoes with Garlic and Shallots

Wednesday: Chicken Parmesan with Angel Hair Pasta

Thursday: I have a women's group meeting at church, so Taylor will be on his own.

Friday: Leftovers from the week

So, only 3 nights of cooking instead of 4 like the previous 2 weeks. I just need a little break. :)
