Thursday - Chicken Tacos, Refried Beans, Strawberries and Bananas
Friday - Thai Curry Chicken, White Rice, Roasted Zucchini, Fruit Smoothies

So, I only had enough chicken for 2 meals (and somehow, the honey mustard chicken lost out again), and when I hit the store Friday, they had an AMAZING deal on Giant Fresh Sea Scallops ($6.50/lb vs $23/lb). My spouse LOVES them, but I hadn't bought them in years b/c of the price, so I had to buy what they had and use it that day. I got 15 scallops (3/person, since my youngest wouldn't touch it) and made a Pan-seared scallop in butter and lemon zest (with s&p)...once cooked, I added the juice of a whole lemon (the one I zested) and about 1 cup of pasta water and served the scallops over spaghetti in this nice light scallopy, lemon butter sauce (no parm - just perfect as is). I made roasted zucchini and served baked bread to accompany and this was the best meal in a long time. They also had NY Strip Steaks for $4.49/lb, so that's tonight's plan...and I hit Aldi's today and am swimming in fruit (love their fruit produce sale weeks), so here's the rest of the plan...
Sunday - NY Strip Steak with Carmelized Onions and Oven Roasted Button Mushrooms, Mashed Potatoes, Kiwi and Strawberries
Monday - Cheeseburgers (it's been awhile), Roasted Zucchini, Watermelon Slices
Tuesday - Garlic and Herb Pork Roast, CousCous, Blueberries and Strawberries
Wednesday - All Beef Hot Dogs with Mustard and Relish, Baked Fries, Clementines and Grapes, Watermelon Strawberry Smoothies
Thursday - Honey Mustard Chicken, Spinach Salad with Mushrooms, Red Onion and Berries, Blueberry Muffins
Friday - Open (My anniversary is this week, but I don't know what day we'll celebrate b/c our bathroom remodel is in its last stretch and it's Restaurant Week...so one day, I will make the kids Frozen Pizza, smoothies, and fruit and we'll do out - and I'll move meals to fit)
Saturday - Out (Baseball game - not sure if we can bring in or not...also, not sure if my sis and her spouse are buying since they invited and bought everyone tickets as their annual family host event (it's the 1st we could make)...but I'm planning on hot dogs, nachos, chicken tenders, and ice cream, and $75 OOP one way or the other - gonna give the fam $12.50 each and tell them to make it work...
