You call yourself a Slacker at menu planning, huh? Cuz it takes planning and planning takes time... no time? All which I do not seem to have enough of either. But when it comes to meals I have to make time or I loose my sanity when I come home scurring to figure out what is for dinner. Unhappy Mom makes for an unhappy home. LOL. Unfortunately, due to my DHs nature... they are beef. But I make a darn good shredded chicken with green sauce. ;) And the chicken salad... We just BBQ chicken breast and cut into strips. The typical salad... lets see we add lettuce/spinach, cheese, dried cranberries, Ms Dash, tomatoes, cucumbers, green onion, purple onion.... What ever looks good. lol. If it was just up to me eating I would follow your suit. I love eating mainly vegetarian with a flare for variety. Thank you for the link... I've seen it before, but have yet to try. :) @ MoneyMonk: Thanks. Hopefully, I will try a new recipe next week. @ dinah: Thanks. Actually, I guess I could get more wordy like Pepper Jack, Bacon Cheeseburgers. lol. Hey, I need some family friendly meal ideas.

My roommate recently got a book of chicken salad recipes (tip: using avocado instead of mayo makes it healthier!) and I'm really excited to start putting some of them into <a href="http://thesimpleme.com/2009/06/14/weekly-meal-plan-3rd-week-of-june/" rel="nofollow">my meal plan</a>. You should check out springpad's <a href="http://www.springpadit.com/springpads/mealplanner/" rel="nofollow">weekly meal planner</a>, it's a great way to organize all of your menus and recipes (like this one, yum! http://bit.ly/3D6top) and I think you'd really like it.

Hence the fact I put for Thursday's menu is the end of my No Week Spend. ;) Fridays mark the start of a new pay period. @ Sharon: LOL!
