Monday night: Salmon,asparagus, and long grain rice. The kids gobbled this up. The salmon was delicious. I marinated it for 30 minutes in a little olive oil, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and costco's seafood seasoning. Then I broiled it till it was flaky. Spencer couldn't get enough.
Tuesday: Yellow curry Thai chicken with veggies, brown basmati rice, naan and fresh cilantro from our garden sprinkled on top. It had a little kick to it, but it was so flavorful! My kids are getting used to brown rice...as long as it is smothered in some sort of sauce.
Wednesday: One of our favorites, Taco soup. Seriously, this is the easiest meal to throw together in a crockpot. And it is really good for you.
Thursday: Beef stir fry with thin spaghetti. Another favorite. Soy sauce, light zesty italian dressing and garlic make the flavor so good. We always put crushed peanuts on top for a little crunch.
Friday: Ham with scalloped potatoes and carrots. I used hamsteaks and they cook up much faster than a big ol' ham. The kids and Dave love these carrots. After I have cooked them, I add a little butter, salt and maple syrup. Yummy!
Saturday we had pizza and Sunday we had pork chops with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and veggies. We fed the missionaries and I didn't have time to take a pic...sorry. Enjoy!

Great dinner ideas. I especially am interested in the Taco soup. I've never seen that before. I'll have to get the recipe. Thanks for the great ideas. Averi and Owen are finally willing (with a little nudge of course) to try new foods so I've picked up a few new cook books to spice up our dinner life.
Ok, I am NOt going to let my husband see this. If he is lucky, he ges hot dogs for dinner... lol
