Meal Plan Week Ending 10.08.10

The plan for this week is full of awesome.  I'll be out of the house Monday to have my picture taken with the Stanley Cup. Wednesday we have friends coming over to watch hockey related stuff on TV to celebrate the beginning of hockey season.  Thursday is the Bruins home opener and they play Saturday.  Hubs is home alone Monday and Saturday but is coming with me on Thursday night.  So as I typically do when hockey starts, I try to prep to have some stuff made or easy to make for Hubs on the nights I leave him home alone for hockey.

Saturday:

Sunday: I do a lot of planning & meal prep for the week, so a lot of times a crock-pot dinner is the way to go, I had planned to make this a LONG time ago and had bought frozen lemonade concentrate in anticipation of making it, so when I tripped over this recipe again I decided it was time. Chicken was at my buy price ($1.99/lb) , so chicken makes two appearances this week!

Monday: Out for the evening, Hubs love chili and this can sit in the crock-pot all day and be used for another game later in the week

Tuesday: I found a recipe online that used a rotisserie chicken in it, but I thought I could do better, so we'll see what it comes out like.

Wednesday: We're having company and keeping it simple but also tying in to a line in the movie I'm looking forward to watching Slap Shot

Thursday: We are off work and out all day, meeting up with other Bruins fans for lunch and enjoying the end of the summer long celebration

Friday: We are off, anticipating sleeping in and relaxing!

Saturday: Hockey game for me, Hubs will be on his own for dinner, but he's looking forward to having some more of that chili.

End of week update: I was less than impressed with most of the meals I tried new recipes for this week, so there won't be a lot of sharing of recipes from this past week, not till I go back to the drawing board.  We also wound up off plan on Friday because we just wanted to enjoy a lazy day after a late night celebrating the raising of the Stanley Cup Champion banner.  :)
