Re: WFD this week?
I really suck at meal planning but here are a few of the things I have in the house to make. Plus I don't get home until 6:30 and H goes to bed by 9 because he gets up at 4:30 for work so I have a short window.
Baked Chicken, baked potatos and a veggie
Spaghetti and meat sauce with garlic bread
meatball sandwiches and chips
grilled cheese and tomato soup
Tacos and rice
Chili (hot chili!!)
Your Mexican menu sounds delish!! I could eat Mexican every single night if DH would go for it!
I'll play...
Tonight: Out to Uncle Yip's for my uncle's 70th bday
Tuesday: Pasta with shrimp and vodka sauce (normally would make my own but using jarred since I got a ton for free at Remke)
Wednesday: Island spice porkloin with mashed potatoes and some sort of veggie
Thursday: Minestrone soup (from my freezer stash)
Friday: Italian marinated chicken with Alton Brown's stove top mac and cheese
Latest Blog Update: Peanut Butter Cookie with Salted Peanut Caramel
I don't really plan a night for each thing, just make it ahead and it can be taken out whenever.
Goat cheese and asparagus stuffed chicken w roasted red pepper sauce
Clean eating deep dish pizza
Whole wheat lasagna with turkey meat sauce and spinach
Crustless quiche thingies (that's the technical term)
Salsa chicken
fish sandwiches and some leftover guacamole salad from a baby shower yesterday
chorizo/potato/mushroom tacos and a veggie side TBD
spicy chicken stir fry over brown rice
thursday will be out to eat before Daniel Tosh!
clean eating enchiladas
M: Beef with broccoli stir-fry
T: Taco Bake
W: Orange chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans
H: Homemade soup (haven't decided yet, but i have the day off work and can let it simmer all day!)
F: Eating Out
I think this may be the one time I'm glad my DH is such a picky eater...meal planning is a lot simpler when I have complete control over the menu and can make whatever I want! (We eat separately most nights, which allows me to make a big meal or two for myself each week and then have leftovers the other nights).
So for me this week I'm making chili mac with ground turkey, black beans, onions, and peppers. This should get me 4-6 servings, so I can take some for lunches too.
If I need another meal this week, I'll probably make stuffed chicken & vegetables (both are in the freezer ready to go).
The downside to this is that I may get tired of my "big meal" part way through the week. I hate to throw out good food though, so I'll eat it anyway!
The Fluffy Cat says... "Boxes are the best toys ever invented!"
Tonight: Frozen meal, H is going to the Bengals game.
Tuesday: Fridays bag meal
Wednesday: H is out of town, so maybe another frozen meal
Thursday: Maybe go out to dinner because we are going to see Daniel Tosh at 1030
Friday: I would like to make some baked ziti
Monday: Homemade Pizza and cheesy bread. (It's football night)
Tuesday: I'm having dinner out with a friend so DH is on his own.
Wednesday: Steamed Fish and mac-n-cheese.
Thursday: Meatloaf.
Friday: Tuna casserole
I have some left over chicken & tortillias so I'm going to make enchiladas tonight. Trader joe's makes a sauce that DH loves. A little spicy for me so maybe I'll do a wrap or something.
Rest of the week-not sure. I'm trying to use up the food in our freezer b/c there is NO room anymore! We had chili & sloppy joes more than once last week and there's still MORE in there but dh is burnt out on ground beef. Turns out I'm burnt out on grocery shopping so he's going to eat more chili or starve
Tonight I had leftover Indian food. Tomorrow I'm going to have salmon (or whatever other fish looks good at Kroger) because H will still be out of town and he's rather allergic to fish.
options for the rest of this week (depending on mood, time and energy):
steaks (maybe with some gorgonzola if it's still good) with some kind of veggie and maybe rice.
shrimp in tomato feta sauce with rice or pasta
lemon chicken or spicy chicken drumsticks and some kind of veggie
I think we have some pork chops in the freezer too. We usually fry them; sometimes I do a sour cream sauce on them.
