What I cooked this week: Better late than never edition

Monday, I thawed out some chicken that's been hanging out in the freezer and made BBQ chicken, green beans, and potato salad. This is kind of my favorite meal, I think it's at least my favorite for my mom to make. Pour BBQ sauce on chicken, stick it in the oven. I prefer French cut green beans, but I've only ever seen those in the can and we don't really do canned veggies around these parts anymore. I'm not about to get all fancy with my cutting of green beans either. I should have made potato salad like my mom does, instead I made Pioneer Woman potato salad, it was rather strong.
Tuesday: Salmon patties, fries. I went grocery shopping this day, I like to cook simple meals on grocery days. Canned salmon (make sure it says "wild"!), drained, flaked, egg, bread crumbs if you're fancy (or if you actually have some bread, I didn't). Fries: cut potatoes, fry them.
Wednesday: I made that sausage pasta again except this time I ruined it. I tried a different kind of sausage. I thought it was called apple-something-or-other, didn't realize it actually had apples in it. It was sweet, which is fine for breakfast sausage, but not for sausage in an Italian warm pasta salad type dish. Bleck.
Thursday: Roast chicken, sweet potato fries (with cream cheese brown sugar dipping sauce), mushrooms and onions. Chicken was roasted using the Peruvian chicken recipe from an old Everyday with Rachael Ray issue, I've talked about it before. Sweet potatoes were cut and baked with a little olive oil (these are what Will had for supper that night as well, sans dipping sauce), mushrooms and onions were sauteed together in a little olive oil. Mmmmmm......
Friday: Oh, Friday? We went out on a date! No baby and everything, first time ever. More on that later.


(Oh, that first pic? Yeah, it's from some time before last week, I just wanted a square. And can you guess which is the "his" and which is the "hers" of the bottom 2 pics?)
