Family Dining

If you were eating dinner at my house this week, here's what you would find:

• Sunday: Spaghetti and meatballs, peas
  
• Monday: Leftovers. Choose from: the spaghetti, taco casserole, sloppy joes, beef stew, or meatballs stroganoff
  
• Tuesday: Mom's off at book club, leaves ham and green bean casserole for Daddy and Ellie
  
• Wednesday: Tacos with all the trimmings, corn on the cob, chipotle-flavored pasta
  
• The rest of the week: Thai chicken, grilled hamburgers, chicken and rice casserole, and, of course, more leftovers.

This is not often a diet-friendly house, but even so I think I'm in a bit of a comfort-food phase lately.
