Spicing Things Up!

The hubby and I have decided to spice things up in our marriage.

GET YOUR MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER...I'm talking about during mealtime.  So, we've decided to do meal theme nights (as was previously suggested by a friend of ours, but only recently did we decide to do it).  We're just a little bored at the dinner table, and thought this would make things better by forcing us to try new recipes within each theme (you'll see those below).  I also hope it'll make things easier so I don't have to worry myself trying to think of things to eat every night.


The plan is below...hopefully I'll remember to come back and give an update on how it's going.  (My memory is really bad these days as I try to keep up with two very active little boys.)

Tex-Mex Mondays (tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, etc.)
Seafood Tuesdays (we are so not well-versed in seafood, so please share your ideas!!!)
American Wednesdays (anything from burgers and hot dogs to baked chicken, etc.)
Vegetarian Thursdays (just to give us a break from eating meat every day)
Italian Fridays (cheesy goodness!)
Asian Saturdays (this could also include those frozen P.F. Chang's meals, right?)
African/Caribbean Sundays (I REALLY need help with this one...please share recipes!!!)

Maybe this can help you too.  Or, maybe you have a better idea.  Either way, please feel free to share your recipes and meal ideas for all of us who are living Black love.

Edited to add...yeah this meal planning thing never happened.  But maybe it will in the future, so I definitely wanted to post it anyway!
