Chicken sauted in sage browned butter

Meatloaf (a request from #1)with carrots and veggies (a request from #2)

Follow up from last week:
I didn't make the chicken divan, and the pizzas were merely okay. The chicken for the taco pizza was good, and the garlicky fries were wonderful. Panini would have been better with different veggies, but the goat cheese was good.

Weekly Menu

Since straightforward blogging to the great unknown doesn't exactly work, I figure I'll use it to track menus for the week . . .

Grilled Chicken taco pizzas
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/aaron-mccargo-jr/grilled-chicken-taco-pizzas-recipe/index.html
Makes several small pizza which will be good for customizing for #1 (carbs) and #2 (can't handle spicy)

Stuffed Chicken Divan
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/stuffed-chicken-divan-with-a-sherry-dijon-sauce-recipe/index.html
More of an adult dish, but they might eat the chicken

Buffalo Chicken Pizza
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/stuffed-chicken-divan-with-a-sherry-dijon-sauce-recipe/index.html
More pizza - probably won't make both this week

Fish tacos
Current favorite of the kids - maybe make some for them with the frozen halibut and some for us with blackened salmon

Grilled Veggie Panini
http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/grilled-summer-vegetable-panini-recipe
Sounds good, but not sure about the kids.
