What's Cookin'? 6/2/08

Before proceeding to the meat of the matter, I want to take this opportunity to exclaim in abject horror...

OMG, did I just type 6 for the month???

Inconceivable!

It can't possibly be JUNE already!!!

...OK, now I've taken a deep breath and regained my time-passage composure, so let us move forward to the subject at hand: Answering the (hopefully not) burning question...What's Cookin'?

My friend Kelly at kellementology recently complimented me on my organizational skills because I plan my meals for the week in advance. It gave me such a warm feeling to be lauded for my ability to not only make a plan and stick to it, but to prove it by posting it here for all the world (or at least my handful of readers) to see.

I felt so energized by Kelly's praise, in fact, that I proceeded to abandon the whole process the next two weeks...! Yup, it's true...I haven't posted an installment since Sunday, May 11!

Gee, Kelly, I didn't mean to make a liar out of you! I guess the pressure of your admiration was simply too much for me - and I caved! In my defense, I've had some computer and health issues in the past couple weeks. Nothing serious in either arena, just not conducive to blogging.

I have overcome these obstacles (for the most part) so I am here to make Kelly proud once again. Here's what I'll be cooking this week:



Grilled Greek Chicken Salad w/ Mixed Greens, Asparagus, Artichoke Hearts, Feta Cheese & Walnuts & Multi-Grain Bread w/ Honey Butter

Toasted Multi-Cheese Sandwiches on Whole Wheat Bread, French Fries & Ramen Noodle Coleslaw

Orange Roughy Marinated in Soy Sauce, Honey & Citrus Zest, Rolled in Sesame Seeds, Fried Rice w/ Almonds & Steamed Broccoli drizzled w/ Sesame Oil

Honey-Chipotle BBQ Chicken Wings, Macaroni & Cheese & Garlic Sauted Spinach

Linguine w/ Shrimp, Scallops, Calamari & Clams in a Garlic & White Wine Sauce & Mixed Greens Salad

Chicken-Fried Steak w/ Creamy Country Gravy, Mashed Potatoes & Collard, Turnip & Mustard Greens Sauted w/ Bacon & Garlic



That's better...now I feel like I'm living up to my obsessive-compulsive organized reputation!
