Oy vey!

So I'm trying to plan our freakin menu, and John's only suggestions are the same ol' things we have every week! He says it's because "they're good" which is cool and all... but I think I want to try a new dish every week. I found a cool site (vegetariantimes.com) that has lots of yummy sounding recipes and I'm trying to find some new ones to try.

So far this is our menu:

Friday- 4
Broccoli and white cheddar, salad, garlic bread

Saturday- 5
Asparagus and potatoes

Sunday- 6
Salad

Monday- 7
Veggie burgers and potato salad

Tuesday- 8
SAMmiches and sweet potato fries

Wednesday- 9
Chilli and cornbread

Thursday- 10
Veggie casserole

Friday- 11
Leftovers

Saturday- 12
Asian inspired (I'll figure out WHAT at the store)

Sunday- 13
Dinner with the fam
(AKA: I have no idea)

Broccoli & White Cheddar Mac&Cheese

Ingredients
3 cups frozen baby broccoli florets
1/2 pound elbow macaroni
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/3 cups milk
4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
2 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated
salt to taste

Directions
Microwave broccoli florets in a large, microwave safe bowl according to package instructions until tender (usually 4-5 minutes). Drain off any water and set aside. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add elbow macaroni. Boil according to directions until al dente. Drain.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk to form a paste (roux). Cook 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste. Slowly pour in milk, whisking briskly to remove lumps. Continue cooking over medium heat, whisking constantly, until milk mixture thickens. Remove from heat and whisk in shredded cheese. Add salt to taste.
Add drained macaroni back to pot. Pour cheese sauce over macaroni, add broccoli, and stir to combine. Devour.
