We can post what our meal plans are, share recipes, ask questions, etc.

Okay so ladies what are you planning for this week?

Re: Meal Plan

  • Well...

    Tonight-we are going to a company picnic of a friend so we don't have to make dinner tonight.

    Wed-Uhm I'm thinking spaghetti because we have some salad we need to eat before it gets bad.

    Thurs-DH's bday. I am thinking if having his grandparents over and making French dips with one of the chuck roasts I bought yesterday. We will probably have French Fries with them. Oh and of course cake :)

    Fri-Boneless pork ribs marinated in steak and chop marinade. Broccoli. Rice.

    Sat-Buffalo Wild Wings for our date night! We finally got one nearby and DH loves him some hot wings.

    Sunday-Is a wing it day. Probably grilled cheese and tomato soup.

    Question-What do you ladies do to rice to make it more than just rice?

    I will be making new recipes next grocery shopping trip probably next week.

  •  Question-What do you ladies do to rice to make it more than just rice?
     
    There are several things:
    (1) You can use chicken stock instead of water to add flavor in any rice recipe
    (2) You can use coconut milk instead of water and add cilantro or scallions for a more tropical flavor
    (3) You can add almost anything in - peas, chopped broccoli, garlic, parsley, grated parmesan cheese (all or a couple)
    (4) I love cold rice salads (I usually use quinoa, bulgur or farro but you can use regular rice) and add different veggies and vinaigrette - some ideas (but I never follow them exactly)

    EB is Emily Bites. Let me go find the link. We eat a lot of her stuff, it's all healthy but super good. Even DS likes most of it!

    I usually have shredded chicken on hand, so this is a quick dinner to make.

  • I love the idea of doing this weekly!

    Last night we had baked Cajun chicken, broccoli and salad.

    Tonight: tacos and black beans

    Thursday: loaded baked potatoes and oven roasted cabbage

    Friday: pizza

    Saturday: there is a festival that day that one of my best girlfriend's father in law is in charge of where local restaurants have booths set up. It's a great time with music and lots of local breweries and wineries. Going to see if DH wants to go!

  • @Tudorrose Saturday sounds like fun! Hopefully your DH will want to go!

    @pinkinprovence thanks for all the tips for rice! I have never thought of putting anything other than butter, gravy or soy sauce and none of those options are very healthy!

    I am excited for this! It seems like you ladies eat a lot healthier than we do and I am trying to change that! DH has started gaining weight and he changed his lunches which helped a lot but I think we need to change dinners as well. I also want to teach DD healthy habits :)
