It’s grill week! That means the bulk of my dinner cooking is done for the week already. But I have to remind myself that 6 burgers don’t last 3 meals anymore when Anna eats it too. I never know if she’s going to eat meat or not (I usually just give her a couple of bites of mine and see if she eats it, then give her more if she wants), but tonight she put away almost half a hamburger patty!

Last week’s Chicken Francese was a success and something I’ll definitely try again. It took me a long time because I had to keep looking at the recipe, but meals always go faster the more you make them. We ended up not grilling on Sunday due to the weather (picked up Moe’s instead—yum!) so I don’t have grill food to carry us into this week. If it’s nice this weekend, maybe we’ll ditch the tacos and grill instead.

As always, check out Menu Plan Monday for more ideas.

Monday: Homemade pizza, salad

Tuesday: Broiled chicken sandwiches (see recipe below), sweet potato wedges

Here’s what’s going on in the Felio kitchen this week. The Skillet Tamale Pie has a Mexican flavor, in honor of Cinco de Mayo… any excuse to eat Mexican food! The Chicken Francese is a new one for us; I hope it turns out well. I have no idea what you’re supposed to serve with it, but it has a sauce, so rice is always good to put a sauce on.

Wednesday: same

Thursday: Chicken Francese, brown rice, green beans

Friday: same

Did you know my husband is a smoker? The good kind, that is—the kind that’s going to smoke a brisket on Wednesday! We’ll get several dinners and lunches out of that, and probably freeze some for later. Last week’s mac & cheese meal got postponed a day, so we still have one day’s worth of leftovers for that.
