When I originally planned this menu, I had a lot of chicken in it, due to an awesome special on chicken at one of our local stores. Sadly, they ran out of chicken the first day of the sale, so I have two rain checks and no chicken. Also coincidentally, Hubs went to the store to get meat for yesterday’s french dips, and ended up getting a lot more steak than he had originally intended. So, this is kind of a dream week for him, featuring steak at many of the meals!

A little about our weekly pizza night…we have the most eclectic pizza night EVER. I have always loved homemade pizza. It started out for me as a dinner we would have with my dad. He wasn’t a great chef, so when we visited him on the weekends, it was always pizza, nachos, or sometimes hot dogs for dinner. As kids, it could have been pizza every night, and I think we’d have been just as happy.

My husband has been known for awhile for his “hot dog pizza”, which is, as it sounds, a simple crust (he generally prefers to make thin crust), ketchup, mustard, sliced onions, and sliced hot dogs. No cheese, but you probably could toss cheese on it and it would still be good. This week, we were short of pizza toppings, and he wasn’t happy with the thought of just cheese pizza (which I am ALWAYS fine with). Instead, he made a “Chicken casserole” pizza (cream of mushroom soup “sauce”, canned chicken, green chilis, and cheese), a korean bbq pizza (straw mushrooms, leftover steak sliced up, korean bbq sauce, cheese), a meatloaf pizza (leftover meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, cheese, pizza sauce), and a black olive, straw mushroom, green chili, and cheese pizza that was TO DIE FOR. He is by far my favorite pizza chef, and one of the most creative pizza makers I’ve ever known!
