Tracy's last week

Hi everyone,

I'm publishing my last week of meals, just so Connie won't feel so bad about her week. :) You can tell I'm a bachelorette. I don't cook alot but I do like homemade meals and fresh ingredients. And sorry, Scheri, but I eat a lot of meat. :)

Last Sunday: Rob took me out to the Loop mexican restaurant.

Monday: A bagel, leftover cauliflower, and leftover half can of Busch's Beans. Mmmmm.

Tuesday: Baked pork chops: Sprinkle dry stovetop stuffing on each side of the porkchops and bake them about 20 minutes at 400 degrees. The baking makes it one of the healthier ways to eat pork, and they're juicy and easy. Also, steamed asparagus and rolls.

Wednesday: Rob stole a salad for me from the Army cafeteria.

Thursday: An apple, oatmeal, cheese and crackers and chocolate chip cookies.

Friday: Macaroni and cheese.

Saturday: My Mom's Sicilian Spaghetti:
4 large tomatoes, cut into chunks
2 cans tuna
1 small can chopped olives
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 pound (or less if you like sauce) angel hair pasta

Put the cut tomatoes in a saucepan with a little water and boil them lightly, they'll melt down into tomatoe-y sauce pretty quick. Add the tuna and chopped olives long enough to warm it all up. Pour over the angel hair pasta, then mix in the mozarella cheese. It's easy and all healthy ingredients. Then I cooked broccolli on the side.

The authentic Sicilian recipe uses anchovies instead of tuna but our family never had the courage to try that. :)

Oh, to be single again ;-) Your menu actually looks better than I expected, no ramen noodles or frozen entrees :-)
