Menu planning

This week is totally up in the air at this point.  Yesterday we ended up having leftover pizza from saturday when my mom watched the kids and that messed up my leftover night (tonight) and I just haven't sat down to really think about this weeks cooking.
Here goes off the cuff:
monday: crockpot chicken, parmesan noodles, broccoli
tuesday: I am undecided but maybe I will get adventurous and try something from the Pioneer Woman's cookbook which I just borrowed from my mother in law
wednesday: leftovers from tuesday or a big green salad with all the fixings- chicken, boiled egg, cheese, etc...
thursday: meatloaf, potatoes of some sort
friday: friend cooks
saturday: we are having pizza for lunch at a birthday party so maybe just a  movie night which means popcorn, cheese, crackers, summer sausage, apples

That sounds pretty good to me for just coming up with it on the fly.  I can't remember if I mentioned in my March goal or not but something I really want to do is try new dishes and if I am ambitious, I would like to try a new one every week.
This week I also plan on making  raspberry scones (made some sunday but took them all to the potluck so didn't get to enjoy them) and maybe some more zucchini bread or cinnamon rolls which were a huge hit and probably some cookies as I am trying to buy less of that sort of thing and make more homemade stuff.
Happy eating!
