What's for Dinner This Week?

So, I thought it might be fun to start giving a little run down of our weekly dinner menus. I guess it's probably because I have been back in the meal planning mode full swing lately. So, feel free to start posting what you're having for dinner this week (and next week, and the next, etc. ha ha!). As for us, if any of you are interested, here is what is on the menu (as I typed this up, I realized that pretty much everything this week is from Mel's Kitchen Cafe--no real reason, it just happened that way I guess!):

Monday: Chicken Pot Pie Crumble
(from Mel's Kitchen Cafe, recipe found HERE) It is super delicious and my family loves it! Every time I make it, it seems like it kind of is a lot of work, but in the end it is totally worth it. And I'm probably just not that fast at making it. :) Oh, and another note...along with the vegetables she calls for, I also peel and dice two small potatoes and add to them. I like a few potatoes in a chicken pot pie, so I wanted some in this too.
Tuesday: San Francisco Pork Chops with rice & fresh steamed broccoli
(another from Mel's Kitchen Cafe, recipe found HERE) I needed a good crockpot meal tomorrow, and I like this because it's a little different than the usual crockpot dish and that's good. :)
Wednesday: Taco Pasta
(from The Girl Who Ate Everything, recipe found HERE) It sounded a little different the first time I made this, but we loved it!
Thursday: Leftovers
The taco pasta & chicken pot pie crumble usually have quite a bit left, so I am planning to have them on hand for a leftovers night!
Friday: Pork Tacos
When I make the pork chops, I usually cut them from a pork loin roast which usually uses about half of the roast. So I have another half a pork roast in the fridge that needs used, and I'll use it for some quick and easy pork tacos.
Saturday: Coconut Shrimp Curry
(from Mel's Kitchen Cafe, recipe found HERE) I have just ventured into the world of curry and I am in love! I made this a couple of weeks ago and we LOVE it. And it really isn't that hard to make either, which is a huge bonus of course! I am going to make some with chicken and some with shrimp this week since we are having some friends over and she hates shrimp. :) But I am positive it will be good with chicken too. If you haven't tried making curry, you should. It is SO good!

So, that's a wrap of my week...what are y'all having? :)
