This is going to be a crazy week, with my husband out of town three days and making a family dinner on Wednesday. I’m still working my way through the summer meals list I made in late May, and I’ve been really looking forward to trying the Cajun Salmon cakes I’m making tonight. I’ll post a review soon!
I chose a few kid-friendly, fun meals for Tuesday and Wednesday nights when my husband is gone, and a great dinner to welcome him home on Thursday-Apple Cinnamon BBQ Chicken. We just returned from vacation in Gatlinburg, where we visited the Pepper Palace. The Pepper Palace is an amazing store that carries the most amazing sauces and salsas, and the Apple Cinnamon BBQ is my husband’s favorite.
Here’s the plan for this week:
Sunday-Shrimp Fettucine Alfredo
(I used the recipe below, but doubled the sauce and thickened it with 2tbsp cornstarch mixed with water-amazing results!)

Monday-Cajun Salmon Cakes and Mixed Greens

Tuesday-Hot Wings and Fries
I use this cooking format, but use sauces from Buffalo Wild Wings instead of his version. Best wing recipe I’ve found!

Wednesday-Taco Night
Brother, Sister-in-law, their kids and my parents are coming over for dinner-should be fun!
Thursday-Grilled Apple Cinnamon BBQ Chicken
Simple grilled boneless skinless chicken breasts basted with bbq sauce
Friday-Almost Famous Chi-Chi’s Chimichangas
Amazing copy of an old favorite!
