This week for dinner

So I have seen a lot of blogs where people post what they are having for dinner in the beginning of the week. I am trying to be good at sticking to a dinner schedule so we do not eat out as much and so we do not go to the grocery store every other day. We did it for the last two weeks and we only ate out twice. We had to eat out once because we made turkey burgers and we are not sure what went wrong but they just kept falling apart and they were a mess so we went to barbacoa because we were kind of in a rush. That is pretty good for us because we have busy schedules so it is always easier to go and grab something. I tried 7 new and different recipes and ended up adding 5 of them to my recipe box which is always exciting. I planned our recipes in advance and bought everything I needed so I did not have to cross the path of the grocery store again. I obviously did not need to buy a lot because well if you are reading this then you probably know that I have a lot of food in my home at all times. Here is the list of recipes we tried and loved in the last two weeks so if you want the recipe for any of them then I will for sure give them to you.
The recipes I liked the most were:
Sloppy Joe Tacos
Lemony Pork Primavera Pasta
Roast Beef and Gravy
Adobo Pork Chops (These are healthy for you also which is a bonus)
Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken (the best meal for sure)
This week we are having:
Monday: Honey Soy Glazed Pork Chops (Thanks Mar!)
Tuesday: Balsamic-Glazed Steamed Fish
Wednesday: Breaded Garlic Chicken in Lemon Butter Sauce
Thursday: Serve yourself day we wont be home at the same time
Friday: Hoedown BBQ Chuck Roast
Saturday: Slow Cooker Puffy Pizza Casserole (a little nervous about this one)
I will let you know how they all turn out and let me know if you have any good recipes that we can try.
