menu planning

With our insane somewhat busy activity schedule on week nights we've been eating a lot of convenience food (let's just say PC blue menu lasagna & pre-cooked meatballs are my best friends).  I made stir-fry for dinner tonight and decided we needed to do a menu plan for the week.  I left it up to hubby and kids...this is the result.


I added in the squash ravioli because I have it in the fridge already and I can't eat a whole plate of high fat macaroni and cheese (alright, I *could* eat a whole plateful but in my quest to eat healthier I won't).  I also added the milkshakes on Friday night because heck, it's Friday and milkshakes go with cheeseburgers!  Note the term "real" in front of the burgers because Kyle is griping about the veggie burgers I've been serving the family for the past few months.  I'll stick to veggie for myself but make some real ones for the rest of the family who are all carnivores (although I will be sneaking in some pureed veggies...shhhhh).  

I get to pick for Saturday night and haven't decided yet but I'm leaning towards maple glazed salmon with roasted potatoes and veggies on the side.  Yes, I eat seafood, I'm a bad vegetarian.  I looked it up once and apparently there is a term for those of us who eat eggs, dairy & seafood but avoid other meat products, if there's a name for it then I can't be the only one.
