We've failed miserably at cooking as much as planned each week, so this week we're only planning for 5 meals and one of those is using leftovers from another meal. I've also had a resurgence of nausea and exhaustion, as well as STILL fighting the same cold that I've had for two solid weeks now, so I'm anticipating a lack of energy to cook, too. Look for a blog post entirely devoted to whining about this very soon.
Sunday: Mexican Chicken and Rice--I think I found this on Pinterest and it was great. It was a lot like a family favorite, Salsafied Chicken and Rice, but with a bit more veggies. Baby Girl ate her entire plateful, eagerly, and The Hubby and I agreed that we need to have it on a regular basis.
Monday: Swiss Casserole Chicken--If you look back at my last few weeks of meal plans, this has been on it. For some reason, we really fail at crockpot meals some weeks. I'm going to try really hard to get this made this week, especially since the cheese is already sliced (I was getting ready to make it one morning when I discovered my chicken had gone bad, even though it was the day of the Sell By date).
Tuesday: Sweet Pork Tacos with Cilantro Ranch Dressing--As soon as this came up on my Google Reader on Cassie's blog, I knew I had to make it. I'm hoping it'll turn out okay with Caffeine Free Diet Coke. I could go buy a 2L of Caffeine Free regular Coke...hmmm... Either way, I'm really excited to try this. I also hope that we can ration the meat--the pork loin we had in the freezer was a little smaller than the recipe calls for and I'm hoping to use it for quesadillas later in the week.
Wednesday: Chicken nuggets and tater tots. I saw this (sort of) on Cassie's blog when I read her meal plan for this week. I bought some pretzels and might try crusting the chicken in it. We'll see :)
Thursday: Quesadillas with the leftover pork
Friday: No plans, but we'll likely eat out at least once during the week, so we can cook a leftover meal this night.
Saturday: We have a tradition of having Chipotle on Football Saturdays. I'd thought it wouldn't happen every week again this year, but since I got pregnant at the beginning of football season, I figured, why not? Maybe this kid will come out loving Mexican (authentic, Americanized--we don't discriminate) as much as its big sister does!
Art mystery possibly solved?

I really want to try that Mexican chicken and rice now. It sounds delicious! I think the pork would work fine with caffeine free Diet Coke. And honestly, if you want to buy some caffeine free regular Coke, you'd probably only need to buy 1L. That's what I used, and I even had some left over. Especially if your roast is smaller -- you won't need as much liquid.
