Making Time to Grill

Here's the Week's Menu: 

MON 8/27 - Brandy Orange Chicken with baked sweet potatoes, leftover Zucchini Rice Gratin, and some corn.

TUE 8/28  - Brown Rice Chicken and Cilantro Salad.  I was just making this for the week's lunches, but then realized the leftover Lasagna Rolls had not finished defrosting, so it became dinner. Turns out it is pretty soy-sauce-heavy, so I'll adjust that next time.

WED 8/29  - Lasagna Rolls.  Last time I made these, I made twice as many as needed, to ensure an easy dinner in the future. The future is here! Serve with salad and garlic bread.  

THU 8/30 - Grilled Achiote Chicken with Zucchini Rice Gratin and a fruit salad.

FRI 8/31  - Plans.  I'll be away with the girls, so my beloved husband is on his own for dinner. Wish him well!

SAT 9/1  - Steak!  Grilled ribeye with Charred Pepper Steak Sauce, baked potatoes, grilled veggies, Cucumber Salad, wine.

SUN 9/2  - Pork Souvlaki grilled on skewers, served with Tzatsiki Sauce, brown rice, and leftover Cucumber Salad.

Sunday night, I plan to make Shrimp & Orzo Salad (idea #8 on the linked page) to have for lunch the following few days.

MON 9/3 - Plans. We'll be hanging out with the neighbors!
