Monday -- Spicy Dr. Pepper pulled pork (new recipe for me, from Pioneer Woman), slaw, roasted potatoes
(failed to pull the pork roast out of the freezer; realized I had some BBQ pulled pork in the refrig that was getting a little long-in-the-tooth, so finished that instead; in case anyone was hooping for a recipe review, it will have to wait until next time.)
Tuesday -- turkey creole over white rice, salad (new recipe for me, from a Betty Crocker Cooking for Two cookbook)
Wednesday -- fruited chicken over rice, salad
Thursday -- Burrito with Spanish rice
Friday -- Pizza with a side salad
Saturday -- Quesadillas from leftovers, leftover Spanish rice
Sunday -- lasagna or other baked pasta dish, salad
