WFD this week....
What's for Dinner this coming week ladies?
What is your all time favorite home cooked meal- Please share recipe if you are willing... (I need inspiration)
Have you ever had a week where you just cook out of your fridge/freezer/pantry ONLY!
Re: WFD this week....
So we are trying to eat up all the food we have before the move! So it will be interesting meals...
Saturday and Sunday- Cockpot hotdog Chilli
Monday and Tuesday- Sausage cooked in spaghetti sauce with greenbeans
Wednesday and Thursday- BBQ chicken with mashed potatoes
Friday and Saturday- Bean and Cheese Tacos
* DH won't be thrilled to eat the same meal 2 days in a row all week, but he will survive.
My all time favorite home cooked meal is my Aunt Mary's Mac and Cheese recipe that I have altered to make GF
1 lb GF pasta
1 cup gouda cheese shredded
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1/4 cup milk
8 oz sour cream
salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 375
Cook the pasta, Drain
While still hot mix in cheese, sour cream, milk and salt
Spray the casserole dish with PAM
Pour the mixed pasta in and bake at 375 for an hour covered
Remove cover and bake for 15-20 minutes until top is golden and crunchy.
It is DELICIOUS! You can use regular noodles if not GF.
DH is on afternoon shift (2pm to 10pm) this week, so we split the shopping money and decided to go it alone.
So this week, I am having
Mon - Vegetarian schnitzel and veges
Tues - Mircrowave vege lasagna ( I have sewing class so have to eat at work)
Weds - Tofu Strifry
Thurs - Anther Vege schnitzel (these two per pack)and veges
Fri - Soup and Toast
It might all change yet...but I did just make a huge fruit cake to eat all week for morning tea at work. Low GI, and yummy.
Tonight- seared scallops with baby greens and grilled cheese
Tuesday- baked chicken with gnocchi (I've been wanting to make this for a long time)
Wednesday- Meatball subs
Thursday- Spinach and chicken lasagna roll ups
Friday- Broccoli beef with rice
Saturday Turkey gyos in pita with tazsaki sauce and tomatoe and cucumber salad
Sunday- sausage, mushroom and spinach pizza, hopefully grilled on our new BBQ!
Our weekend menu may change since we should be getting our new BBQ this weekend. If thats the case I'll be playing with my new kichen toy!
As far as do you ever eat just out of what you have at home. I go "big shopping" once every two weeks. On the off week I try really hard not to have to go shopping for anything besides milk. My parents have chickens so I get my eggs from them and if I work on the farm I also get my season veges for payment. This week I should be able to get my without going shopping.
I can't think of any of my favorite meals but here are a few blogs that I follow and find some easy yummy recipes.

I'm trying out a meal plan from Women's Health magazine this week.
Roast Chicken with cramy polenta & mushroom ragout
Chicken Pnazanella Salad
Chicken Lettuce Cups
Curried Chicken with brown rice (rice subbed in place of couscous)
Chicken & Goat Cheese Quesadillas
I roasted the chicken last night and tore it apart for the rest of the week's recipes. I'm eating the polenta and mushrooms right now and it is delicious! The ragout would make a really good pasta sauce.
