Caribbean pork tenderloin sounds good, kc.

Still trying to figure out what to make this week. I haven't been very good about planning menus now that my bf is here. I keep finding myself wondering what we are eating around 5 pm - not good. All I know is that my menu will consist of lots of chicken (assuming I can get a good price on it this week).

Bread: still planning to make some wheat bread and the Maritime bread I had wanted to make 2 weeks ago.

Dessert: fruit salad, peanut butter stuffed brownies, some kind of cake (whichever type bf chooses)

Meal #1: chicken (maybe chicken parmesan)
Meal #2: possibly meatballs & sauce with pasta (low carb pasta)
Meal #3 another chicken meal (maybe a roast whole chicken)
2 nights of leftovers
1 night pizza or freezer or sandwiches
1 night eat out

Yeah, the carribbean is good with lots of citrus, garlic and marinated. The recipe calls for a loin, but I have 1/2 of one in the freezer, so that will have to work.

I'm really trying to use up stuff this week and probably next too. I think picking up the weekly veggies, soda, cat foot and maybe some meatloaf mix and chicken is really all I need. I'm trying to really be cost effective the next couple of weeks as I have a 5,000.00 dentist appt coming up. That is with insurance. Really

Ok menu has already changed a bit. Decided to let dd choose a meal, bf choose a meal and dessert, and one night I get to choose, then still the one night for eating out, 2 leftovers nights, and one freezer night or pizza/sandwiches etc night

So....

Meal #1: Chinese Food take-out
Meal #2: Steak Bites (PW recipe, I make this a lot as it is one of dd's faves), with broccoli
Meal #3: Chicken Parmesan (bf requested)
Meal #4: leftovers
Meal #5: leftovers
Meal #6: pizza or sandwiches night, maybe grilled burgers
Meal #7: still haven't made my choice yet - possibly Alice Springs Chicken or a roast chicken

Oh dessert - requests have been for some individual frozen smores I pinned on Pinterest or banana pudding

Last week I made a yummy brownie pie that went over pretty well.
