This Week on the Dining Table

The "Broccoli  Boy" Edition....

Ok, so I had lots of broccoli stems leftover after I chopped up the heads to put into my Veggie Lasagna last week.  I tried to see if Chester would eat them.
Yup!  It seems he LOVES broccoli as much or more than green beans. lolz

This week will see 3-? new meals cooked, ? nights of leftovers/FFY, and ? nights of Take-Out/Eating Out.
My brother is coming for Holly's graduation(for 5 days)and I have to figure out what he'll eat so that's throwing a wrench into the meal planning.

What needs buying for this menu?
Through Wednesday it's all good. After that?....No clue yet. My brother is a picky eater.  I don't want to have to go out for 4 dinners so I've got some thinking to do.
I know he'll eat steak and we've got some in the freezer plus the pork tenderloins I got last week but I can't serve steak or pork for 4 nights. lolz

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?

Any great deals on food at your stores this week?
