Menus?
J is gone for two more weeks on TDY and I'm having problems with another menu this week.
Last week I made paninis, an amazing squash and zucchini dish, and a corn and black bean pizza.
This week I just have Ranch Pasta with Spinach, Bacon and Tomatoes.
What is everyone else having?
Re: Menus?
We had spaghetti squash marinara last night. Well, I had spaghetti squash, DH had whole wheat pasta.
Tonight is a crock pot roast chicken with asparagus and spinach.
The rest of the week includes pollock, salmon, beef and mushroom stirfry.
H is gone and I have training every night this week, so my menu plans includes Smart Ones and sandwiches.
Normally though my favorite meals to make when he is gone are either a pack of Ready Rice or some pasts, and flavored chicken sausage. For sauce I use half a cup of light alfredo sauce, and half a can of diced tomatoes. It's delicious and super easy to make. If you use Ready Rice it takes about 10 minutes total to make dinner, and if you use pasta it just takes the pasta cooking time.
DH is gone tonight so I'll be having this

I don't have anything else planned for the week. I need to get on that.
Can you share your recipes for the squash and zucchini dish? I have some that I need to use.
You are my hero for cooking with a 2 week old! I just now started cooking again, haha. We ate quite a lot of take out those first months.
We're being pretty strict because we have weigh in coming up and we're visitng some family this weekend; so we've cut out breads/pastas, sugar/junk and red meats.
Today - Chicken alfredo made w/quinoa instead of noodles
Tmr - Probably salmon and some veggies
Wed - Stir fry of some sort, I have a ton of veggies to use up.
Thurs - Either left overs or a tilapia dish.
Fri- we leave to visit family. Eek!
It hasn't been fabulous meals (lots of boxed stuff) but I'm so over the take out. I've also been taking any free meal that gets offered to us.
We're in another gross heat wave so lots of cold stuff, take out and grilling
Tonight--bacon ranch pasta salad(that I made this morning while it was a little cooler) and sandwiches
Tomorrow--hot dogs with a garden salad
Wednesday--I have pt, an eye doctor appointment and I need to go food shopping so probably a pizza or drive thru.
