Meal Plan Monday

As I was looking through my collection of recipes on my blog/on pinterest/in my handy dandy little recipe book I realized something...

I like everything.  I have the most eclectic collection of recipes that anyone could have (this is probably not true, I'm sure many others have me beat).  One minute I'll be looking at a cozy Lentil Stew thinking "Mmmm yes, I'll make this" and then I'll flip to the next page of Fried Chicken and Waffles and be like "Oh yes!  I must make this immediately!" and then the next page will be a Leg of Lamb with Nettles & Goat Cheese Pesto and once again, "Ooooh ahhh.  I don't know what nettles are but I want them...now."

I don't think that this kind of hodge-podgery is even allowed.  Nor is the word "hodge-podgery" but I'm saying oh well on both accounts.  Food is food.  And I like it.  Unless it's McDonalds.  But then that's not food so it doesn't count.

So, as usual my Meal Plan Monday consists of a lot of really random recipes that just looked too darn good to pass up.  Hope you understand.

Monday:

As I was scavenging through my handy dandy recipe book I found this lovely thing from my Momma's recipe collection (which I stole) and it looks like a winner.  I might even fancy it up a bit.

Chicken Stuffed Artichokes

Tuesday:

At this point it's come to be inevitable that I make turkey tacos at least once a week.  They are so darn good and quick to make.  BUT since I made them last night...I'm going to try to buzz through the week without making them again.  Instead I'm going to slide in one of Kaston's favorites.  I can't wait to see how these delicious looking things stack up for the fish taco connoisseur.

Wednesday:

Little Ms. Ashley from The Uniqueness of Being has made her recipe request for the week.  And it's a good one.  I must say she really knows the way to my heart.  Food + Ireland.  We've been ooing and aahing over this dish at our favorite Irish pub and it's time to see if I can make anything comparable.  If not...it's going in the trash and we are going to Goody's!

Shepherds Pie

-from Simply Recipes

Thursday:

As you might know, Thursdays usually mean leftovers.  So leftovers for dinner and...these for lunch.  I'll probably make them on a piece of pita or an english muffin.  YUM.

Vegetarian Mini Pizzas

Friday:

I'm going to finish up the week with some yummy roasted vegetables and chicken.  Perfect way to tie it all together right?  Right.
