A week of dinners from my friend Anna

I think this is a great idea, I'm not very consistent, and I don't like having to prepare a completely new meal everyday of the week. What I do is to make a large main dish so that I'm guaranteed leftovers and work that into a new meal for the next day.
For instance,

Sunday
is a great day for me to cook, but Monday is too crammed to make something new.
So now that the weather is nice I grill a whole chicken (pollo loco style) with whatever seasonings work for your family. I like to keep simple and natural ( some lemon, mexican chicken seasoning salt, garlic). While that is cooking, I put about 1 cup to 11/2 cup of pinto or black beans into my rice cooker (set and forget for about an hour). Corn on the cob on the grill with the chicken.

Monday
( We're a family of four so we don't eat a whole chicken), so shred leftover chicken, put extra beans from last night into food processor/ blender). Shred some lettuce, take out sour cream and shredded cheese and, tostadas, and BAM you have an easy Monday meal.

Tuesday
Grill steaks about 3 large (I usually use porter house or rib eye) with seasonings of choice. Seasoned potatoes in the oven to bake or on the grill. When steaks are done, hubby gets a whole one, while I thinly slice the rest. Eat what we can tonight, use leftover for tomorrow.

Wednesday
Thin strips of steak from last night. Saute, red and green bell pepper strips with onion. Dump in the steak strips and now you have fajitas. Serve with more beans and rice (White/brown) and side of broccoli or salad (jicama, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, tortilla strips or crushed tortilla chips, bed of lettuce, with cilantro dressing).

Thursday
My day off I do all my errands and shopping so we go out to eat or order pizza.

Friday
If I still have steak or chicken left make taquitos, yes those yummy, crunchy, greasy little things. I just love them. Sorry, I never said my meals were healthy. Also, any leftover chicken, make quesadillas (cheese and chicken). I don't make side dishes with this meal, I don't think we need any more carbs or grease do you? I like making taquitos because it's something super quick, since the meat is already cooked, warm up tortillas, fry, 15 minutes tops. Whip up a nice fresh guacamole or store bought is fine. Another salad and there.

Saturday
Questionable, I just don't know at this point, hoping to be invited somewhere else to eat, hey maybe I'll give mom a call :)
