Weekly Dinner Menu
Need some ideas! What's on your menu this week?
So far I only have 2 days.
Monday: Taco night

Re: Weekly Dinner Menu
Mon/tue - Italian sloppy Joe's
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2013/01/crock-pot-italian-sloppy-joe.html?m=1
WED/THUR/FRI - Chicken noodle casserole, recipe below but with chicken instead of tuna. I double the recipe and freeze half, so this is already made and frozen.

Tues-Pasta with homemade sauce
Wed-Rice pilaf, roasted Brussels sprouts
Thurs-Dinner meeting for me=frozen pizza for H (thank the heavens for frozen pizza!)
Fri-Take 2 with my new pasta maker. It's a big learning curve!
Sat-Tortilla espanola. Look it up! It's a cheap but slightly time consuming egg and potato dish. I lurrrrve it but it's not the healthiest.

Tuesday: London Broil with a veggie side and a starch/pasta side
Wed: Most likely chicken breasts
Thursday: MILs for dinner
Friday: Not sure, I have the child most of the afternoon so I will decide what we eat.
Saturday/ Sunday: May do a crock pot meal so that there is leftovers for lunch the following week.
I tend to keep some On Cors in the freezer if neither MW or I want to cook (she works from home but usually doesn't finish work until 6 pm. I usually don't get home until between 5 and 6 pm). One of the things that we doing is tag team cooking. I will start the main course then we will tag team the sides depending on how needy our LO is.
Tuesday -- salad
Wednesday -- Veggie burgers with sweet potato fries and collard greens
Thursday -- Lentil soup
Friday -- Homemade pizza
Saturday -- Leftovers
haha we do this a lot. Especially since a casserole is 6-8 servings, and there's only 2 of us. I'm from a big southern family, we don't know how to cook for 2. I'm glad H loves leftovers as much as me.
And now I want enchiladas!
BFP - 10/29/2016!!!, EDD - 7/8/2017
Spaghetti and salad
Chicken legs and a veggie side
Pork chops, salad, rice
Fish, homemade french fries and salad
Chicken breasts and veggie side
Breakfast - probably bacon and eggs
Chicken apple sausage, salad, veggie side
We try to keep it healthy and simple.
Like some PPs I can have repeat meals like rice and bans/burritos or some variation of that everyday and be good. DH can't stand to do that so when we're together I actually try to make a variety of things. I do try to keep meals simple though because he works nights, so I make dinner for me and he has leftovers the next day during his lunch break.
I'm all about saving time so on the weekends I try to make a big pot of beans and/or rice that I can use throughout the week. I also make a bunch of breakfast burritos and freeze them for a quick breakfast. Breakfasts are usually some combination of toast, fruit and yogurt if we don't grab a burrito, and my go to snacks are cut up veggies and dip (hummus for me, ranch for DH) or some fruit.
This is what I'm thinking for dinner this week--in no particular order. We pretty much always also have a salad with dinner too, I just didn't write that down below.
-Enchiladas (per DH's request)
-Ramen Noodle salad (also requested by DH-I'll probably eat something else since I don't like it)
-Tacos
-Vegetarian Jambalaya
-Cheese Ravioli with a vegetable/primavera type sauce
-Ravioli pasta salad (got a big tub of ravioli on sale at Costco that I need to use up, haha)
-Moroccan Stew served over any leftover rice
DH got the recipe for the stew out of an old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook his mom gave him I think. I'm pretty sure I have it saved on my computer if you want me to PM it to you. It's super easy and adaptable
Monday - mac-n-cheese with broccoli and chicken
Tuesday - Veggie burritos, green salad
Wednesday - Spag and meatballs (homemade), green salad
Thursday - Salmon with quinoa and broccoli (or brussels sprouts if they look good this week). The girls usually get breakfast for dinner (eggs, waffles, yogurt, blueberries, and some veggie) this day because they don't like salmon (yet!)
Friday - Homemade pizza, green salad
Wednesday: leftovers or chicken nuggets with pasta
Kind of new to the boards here...
Last night: "Uptown Meatloaf", homemade mashed potatoes and sweet carrots
Monday: leftovers
Tuesday: Crockpot tortellini, bread
Wednesday: Zesty italian chicken (crockpot) and buttered noodles, green beans
Thursday: easy night - either hot dogs or mac & cheese with corn on the side
Friday: Pizza bake
And, sometime over the weekend I want to make chicken lettuce wraps.
My three sons!
