It's Valentine's Week! Last year, we put the boys to bed and had dinner and a movie at home. It was a wonderful change of tradition and so enjoyable that we are repeating it this year! And though we don't typically make a big deal of this holiday, I decided to have a little Valentine's Party for the boys' friends on Wednesday. We are all looking forward to it! We will decorate cookies, exchange Valentines, and make individual pizzas. It will be a full week with our many commitments, so I've tried to keep the menu simple. I think everything can be to the table in about 30-45 minutes every night (with the exception of the rolls on Friday).
MONDAY - Taco Soup, Tortilla Chips, Applesauce
TUESDAY - Tandori Chickens Tender w/Peanut Dipping Sauce, Steamed Broccoli, Grapes
WEDNESDAY - White Fish w/Orange Sauce, Wild Rice, Green Beans
THURSDAY - Grilled Cheese, Tomato Soup
FRIDAY - (Our Valentine's Dinner) Steak, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Steamed Asparagus, Homemade Rolls, & Caramel Machiato Cheesecake (I'll probably do a couple of appetizers since we will be eating so late - Honey Fruit & Nut Brie & Goat Cheese Flatbread w/ Balsamic Greens)
SATURDAY - Spaghetti w/meat sauce, Garlic bread, Salad or Out w/Family
SUNDAY - Bagel Egg Sandwiches, Fruit Salad, Oven Fries
Have a wonderful week! Check out orgjunkie.com for more menu plans.

I've never heard of Tandori sauce. What is it and where do you get it? I'd like to try that recipe:)
Your Valentine's Dinner looks beyond wonderful. Enjoy!!
Looks like a great menu. Enjoy your at-home date with your hubby. We do the same thing. :) Thanks for sharing.
Cynthia - What's for Dinner?
Paula - So glad you liked the sloppy joes!
Monica - Tandori is an Indian seasoning, I believe. Look for it in the spice or international area of the grocery store. I haven't made this recipe for a long time but I remember it being good!
Great menu this week! :)
That cheesecake recipe sounds SO good! I can't believe I almost forget V-Day is Thursday. I'll have to find some equally yummy dessert to make for my hubby. :-)
My husband would love the Tandori Chicken Tenders!
Have a great week!!
I think that is so fun that you are having a Valentine's party...I wanna come!! :) Last year Valentine's snuck up on me and I didn't really do anything, this year I will not allow that to happen. I think I have having a girl's night that night..were you around when we use to do that with Meg and Micah and other girl's? It was such fun...
I love the idea of appetizers and a movie for Valentine's Day. Thank you for the suggestion.
The cheesecake recipe looks too good to be true. I can't wait to try it.
