What's cooking?

A day late.  I'm trying to get back into the mindset of meal planning.  I think this week is a success...if I follow through :)

Monday: Grilled chicken with brown rice

Tuesday: WW Chicken parm with pasta and salad

Wednesday: Chicken marsala with veggies over egg noodles

Thursday: Ham and quinoa mac and cheese

Friday: homemade pizza or stromboli

Saturday: Out during the day so probably leftovers

Sunday: I really think I want attempt a pot roast in the crock pot for the first time.

Re: What's cooking?

  • Have you made the ham & quinoa mac and cheese before?  I want to try it, but wanted to hear from someone whose actually made it first.

  • I still haven't trained myself to meal plan but I wanted a cupcake last night so I made a batch of my pumpkin cupcakes with maple frosting. Craving hit around 7:00, by 9:00 I was enjoying my treat. It's the dangerous side of knowing how to bake!

    I haven't and I'm dying to!  I'm debating on cooking the quinoa ahead of time but I don't think I will because I always try to follow the exact recipe the first time.  I'll let you know how it is on Friday!

    I actually want to have it earlier in the week but it's a heartier side dish so I'm waiting until weigh in day, since I weigh in the morning! :)

  • Ugh!  I so need to get back into meal planning once I am done my summer gig and now that my nausea seems to finally have subsided to the point I can eat more normal things again.  Although there are still a lot of things that seem totally gross to me right now.

    Sunday- I ate left over baked ziti and DH had Taco Bell.  Real healthy, I know.

    Monday/Tuesday- I have to work at night, so I'll eat whatever looks appetizing to me there.

    Wednesday- Is our 3 year wedding anniversary, so I am hoping to finally venture to a restaurant.  I may try to convince DH to take me to the Cheesecake Factory.

    Rest of the week- ??

  • Well since Reality smacked me in the face yesterday with back to work full time, homework, CCD, two hockey games and a parade practice all in one day, its safe to say I am back to schedules and meal planning NEXT week since I didn't this week and now Im scrambling what to cook every night.

    Sunday- I cooked an awesome dinner for DH's birthday/our anniversary and I want to AW it somewhere. Being that our trip to Disney is in two weeks, I made all dishes inspired by dishes from different places in DW (yes we are that Disney crazed), I found all the recipes from allears.net and he loved it!  Dinner was: mustard pork tenderloin from California Grill, mushroom risotto from La Cellier in Canada, garlic beans from Liberty Tavern in MK, Mickey shaped mac n cheese from Cape May Cafe at Beach Club, dessert was vanilla bread pudding from The Land in Epcot and Ghiardelli's choc chip cookies from Downtown Disney. Along with a banana cake with brown sugar icing I found on pinterest. great recipe and I am proud to say my cake looked just like the picture

    Monday- luckily had some gravy in the freezer so we shoved meatballs and spaghetti down our throats in between the craziness

    Tuesday- homemade cheeseburgers, salad, baked potatoes

    Wednesday- salmon?

    Thurs-Sat- ????
