Pasta Salad and Steamed Broccoli

So far this week we have kept to the meal plan.   Wednesday was home made pizza, sorry I forgot to take photos and blog about it.  Everyone had their own.
Thursday here is simple steamed broccoli and a pasta salad.
The pasta salad consists of some of the fresh broccoli, celery, onion, frozen corn, canned black beans and some canned sweet peas.  I do not buy sweet peas, but when the boy moved back in, he brought several cans with him, and I figured that they needed using.  I prefer frozen, especially in salad forms as the color is nicer and they are not as salty.  The dressing is just a bit of mayo and black pepper so that it barely seems to glaze the pasta. 

At this point I am reevaluating my menu plan and am thinking that maybe cooking tonight might be a bad idea.  I have lots of pasta salad left over, tons of lettuce and some curried veggies still.  The pasta and curried vegies are actually making up my Thursday lunch now as I write this.  I also have bread dough from the pizza making taking up a lot of space in my fridge too.
I think I might make some home made bread so that folks think they are getting something special, boil a couple eggs and start chopping some veggies and do a salad bar night instead.  Folks can top their salads as they see fit.  And have the leftovers on the side.

I will you know how that goes.
