Baked Chicken, salad, baked potato, and green beans.
 
Pork Chops and salad.
 
Don't know for me yet, I have class...I packed a bunch of stuff with me but don't know what I'll eat.Kids: Ramen Noodles - Sammie, Hot Dogs - Kyle
DH: Leftover Spaghetti from last nightI am just thankful I don't have to be outside for class tonight!!!!!!!!
 
I'm making the Reuben Braid, but since it is just me, hubby and a small child, I'm going to 1/2 the recipe.

I've never made it before, but it sounds so good. We LOVE Reubens.
 
I'm on my own for dinner. I've got a couple of leftover biscuits in the fridge, so I might make some soup and have soup and bread. And a little salad.
 
Chicken Parmagian (sp?) in my crockpot with thanks to vwpamperedchef for posting this recipe w/garlic bites.:chef:
 
Lots & lots of chili! I made 2 pots of chili for the robotics team then the meeting got canceled so we are going to be eating chili for awhile!!!
 
Chicken tenders in the DCB seasoned with Dales or we will eat at church.
 
It's Wednesday. That means it's pasta night. Fettucine alfredo with chicken, with homemade 'Olive Garden' alfredo.
 
I am going to try the Chilies Rellenos Chicken for dinner tonight from the Stoneware Inspirations CB. Not sure about sides yet though, probably spanish rice and who knows what! mmmm I've been hungry for cornbread, so I might do something with that instead of rice.
