Eating for Two?

So I've been trying to cook a lot more for Jesse and I (and baby Hutto). It helps me to plan out the meals for the week and I think it will make my life easier once baby gets here. For this next week on the menu is:

Monday: Mexican Tacos
Tuesday: Cornflake 'fried' Chicken with mashed potatoes
Wednesday: I work so Jesse will make soup and grilled cheese sandwich
Thursday: BBQ chicken pizza
Friday: Pea-sto pasta

Here are the recipes for 2 of the meals:

CORNFLAKE 'FRIED' CHICKEN
-7 cups Cornflakes-crush them or buy crushed (1 3/4 c. crushed)
- 1 egg
- 1 c. flour
- 3 lb chicken
-3 tbsp butter, melted

in medium bowl, beat egg and milk slightly. add flour, salt and pepper. Dip chicken in batter. Coat with cereal. Place in baking pan and drizzle with butter

Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees


PEA-STO PASTA

1/2 c. parmesan
1/4 c. toasted pine nuts
1/2 c. olive oil
grated lemon peel
box of pasta
frozen peas, thawed
1/2 c. pasta water

mix ingredients minus pasta and peas and run in food processor to make pesto. cook pasta, strain but save some water behind for meal. Mix pasta, pasta water, 'pesto' and thawed peas.
