While the kids were away I did some serious recipe siphoning and a 2 week meal plan. Here's this weeks plan.
Sunday: Chicken Under a Brick, Sesame Broccoli, Barley Pilaf. Also made slower cooker Brisket & Onions to have as lunch, leftovers, and for the kids through the week. I can't find where I got the brisket recipe from. It was easy though. Basically, brown a 3-4 lb brisket seasoned with s & P in a skillet and remove. Slice 2 large onions thin and saute slowly until soft and caramelized. Add 6 cloves minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Put met in slow cooker insert, cover and tuck onion mixture all around. Heat 1 1/2 cups beef broth with 1 Tbl Worcestershire and 2 tsp soy and pour over meat. Cook on low for 6 hours.
Monday: Scallops, Mashed Potatoes, and sauteed Escarole. The kids had the Brisket, Mashed Potatoes and raw sugar snap peas. Kelly LOVED the brisket and mashed potatoes!
Tuesday: Cupcake Pork Pies (this is from a 2007 Cookie Magazine recipe, but I can't find it online), French Fries, and Carrots (Orange-glazed ribbons cooked for us, raw for the kids).
Wednesday: Homemade Fish Sticks, cheese ravioli with roasted red pepper sauce, and peas.
Thursday: Mac & Cheese night for the kids and leftovers for us
Friday: Movie Date Night! Babysitter is booked and we're off to see Avatar in Imax 3D. I cannot wait! Plus, they have an awesome ice cream place right next to the theater. Weeeeeeee.
Saturday: Friends over for Pizza Dinner

I made your chocolate caramel brittle...OMG! Amazing and easy.
I have GOT to get back to meal planning. Meals have been just horrid around here (Papa Johns tonight!). And doesn't it just stink that Cookie magazine was shut down? I loved it.
