Diary of a Cooking Challenged... Part III

I usually do my meal planning for the week on sundays... usually morning, over a pot of steamy Starbucks Coffee. After the hike at Gatineau Park, Joe and I went to LOEB and picked up a few ingredients, and we are set for this week's dinners.

For some reason, I do not really feel like cooking tonight. I then decided to do a bit of "fridge cleaning" and hence, tonight's dinner.
