Being a domesticated house cat

It's FRIDAY! I have work and school off today, so today is laundry, cleaning, and grocery shopping day. Last Friday when Matt got home from work to find a clean house and a meal waiting he called me a "good domesticated house cat"....I can only strive to live up to the name now.

As requested, here are the meals we ate last week:

 Sausage, eggplant, and zucchini lasagna with cranberry, pear, and spinach salad

Gouda cheeseburgers with spinach, and red onion and lemon relish. With sweet potato and regular fries.

"Breaded" (corn flakes and maseca) chicken with green bean, tomato dill salad

Linguine with italian turkey sausage, asparagus, parmesan, pepper, garlic and olive oil

Roasted pork loin with spicy honey barbeque sauce, and pineapple, cranberry and cilantro slaw

Matt's favorites? The pork loin, cheeseburger (especially the fries), and breaded chicken. Least favorite? Lasagna. If I made it again I would probably leave out the eggplant.

*yes, it's all gluten free. But I bet if normal ingredients were used it would be even better!
