I was feeling ambitious today so: Roasted tomato soup, rice au gratin provencal (sounds fancy, but it's really just a savory baked rice pudding), and salad. We have plain rice to use up, too. I might make sweet rice pudding or coconut rice from that for dessert.

The best thing about this menu is smelling the tomatoes roasting all day.

Newbie here, very excited to find this thread, I'm very inspired by the dedication you have all shown to cooking! DH and I did a major overhaul of our finances in the past two years and realized that we were spending SO much money on restaurants/carry out. We've dedicated ourselves to eating at home at least 5 nights per week now. Looking forward to sharing menus and recipes. For us this week it has been:

Monday- Grilled chicken and tomato/cucumber salad
Tuesday- Spaghetti with turkey meatballs and salad
Wednesday-Taco salad and oven roasted corn
Thursday- Crockpot brisket and sauteed kale with onions
Friday- Have a party to go to so will likely have a quick sandwich and few appetizers when we get to the party!

I just discovered this thread. I really need to start cooking at home more. It has become too convenient to go to McDonalds instead of cooking. My goal is to eat at home every night next week except on the 3rd and maybe the 4th. Going to a family pitch in on the 3rd and as of now, no plans on the 4th, but will probably do something with other members of the family. I'll post my menu later after I have looked through previous posts to get some ideas. Thanks!

Sunday - Taco salad with ground turkey
Monday - Spaghetti with turkey meatballs
Tuesday - Family pitch in
Wednesday - 4th of July, plans up in the air
Thursday - Homemade pizzas using biscuit mix
Friday - Breakfast for supper (pancakes, eggs, bacon, etc.)
Saturday - Baked macaroni and cheese

here you go....one word of caution... make sure you stir fry these veggies, if you over cook it is way too mushy... Good taste.

Tonight we are only having lunch meat sandwiches. I am struggling to make the menu for the upcoming week because we have family coming, cookouts, the children may or may be leaving the day after the 4th to spend a week with grandparents...just don't know how many folks to plan for at all.
