Meals for the Week

I love to make all of my weekly meals on Sunday after I go to the grocery store. This way it's all done, I don't get the "OMG it's 5:00 what do I make for dinner" nightly terrors. It's all packed away and there is a list on the fridge door.

So this week I made penne pasta and I added 4 oz.of cream cheese to the sauce. Wow. What a difference! It was fantastic! I also made meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, shrimp and lobster ravioli in a garlic sauce, and chicken cutlets. We may have some leftover rice as well. Add fresh-from-the-garden lettuce for a salad, and we are all set.

I also had my friends over last night for a "Breezeway party" and I made Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa Chicken Salad (huge hit!) and Summer Pizza, as well as a fresh fruit salad, and assorted dips and salsa with chips. Oh, and wine, too! Beautiful friends + beautiful food + beautiful weather = perfect evening. Much needed girl's night!
