  • I give up putting meals to days.

    Dad made a crockpot full of pulled pork. When that's done, I'm making chicken and orzo pasta dish. If we still need dinners, black bean chilli freezer meal.

  • I actually have something planned!!!

    Tonight is marinated London broil with salad

    Tomorrow is honey stout chicken with veggies

    The rest of the week will be some sort of chicken and veggies since we are doing the paleo-ish diet.

  • Sunday- Roasted chicken- our recipe is almost perfected!  The skin was super salty.
    Monday- Hamburgers and leftover potatoes and veggies from the chicken.
    Tuesday- Chicken and broccoli
    Wednesday- Buffalo wings
    Thursday- @xxjen015's General Tso's chicken (never got a chance to make it)
    Friday- Possibly Gnocchi.  Still looking for some good meat free dishes.
    Saturday- @minionlover's chicken skewers.  I read this thread while starving and almost went out to get ingredients for that.

    @ramstein1017 and @magpie87 Last Friday we decided to go out to eat so H could have meat.  I wanted penne vodka, which normally has meat in it.  I asked the waitress and she said no.  There was definitely meat in it.  I realized it after a bite or 2, but still ate it because I was starving and didn't want to wait for another meal.  I feel super guilty now.  A trip to confession is definitely in order this week (I also haven't gone to Mass in weeks because I have needed to go to confession).
  • @sjs1013 - I have the chicken marinating now for tomorrow. The marinade was yummy!! I'll let you know how it comes out.

    I got food poisoning on Sunday, so it will be crackers, soup, jello and popsicles for me this week--which means DH will eat all the junk food he can :P

    @ilovecatsandknitting On Fridays during Lent we abstain from meat in honor of the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday :)

    @sjs1013 I won't even tell you how long it's been since I went to confession 
    @-) I really need to go before Lent is over.

  • @ramstein1027 I hope you feel better soon!

    @minionlover I can't wait to hear how tasty they are!
  • @sjs1013 - So we have the chicken last night and it was good.  We tried to cheat and not do the skewers but I would definitely recommend doing them.  Also before you cook them, make sure to reduce the marinated so you can brush it on.  It says to boil it for about 8 minutes but I feel like I did it for longer and it didn't reduce that much.  It didn't thicken but I am not exactly sure if it was supposed to or not.  I will probably make them again but I would follow the cooking directions better.

  • @minionlover I will be sure to buy skewers when I buy the meat and beer. 

    @xxjen015 I made the General Tso's today.  I hated it.  Maybe I didn't do something correctly.  I may try again to make it, but this is definitely not a crock pot meal.  If I do make it again, it will be in the wok.  I'll let you know if I give it a second try.
  • @sjs1013 I loved the taste,but I thought that it was too dry almost for the crockpot. Overall liked it, but I think it would do better wok cooked
