WFD

So as I'm sitting here thinking about my boring lunch, it got me thinking about dinner and how i'm kind of in a rut for dinner too! 

Any suggestions?

Re: WFD

  • I'm making a lentil, kale, and bacon stew that i found on a blog.  I'm replacing the kale with spinach though because none of the grocery stores had kale yesterday.

  • I made this last night (except with 2 cans of corn instead of grilled corn on the cob) and nachos, so we'll be having left overs again tonight.  I really wanted nachos for dinner, but felt like we needed some veggies to make it healthier, so that was my compromise. :)

     

  • I am making Ribs, crash potatoes and salad.

  • We're having chicken quesadillas.  I'm out of shredded chicken, so I'll be using canned.  We're super healthy.  LOL
  • Rachel Ray's chicken taco burgers.  It is a staple in my house, and FI loves them.

    We are having BBQ beef sandwiches tomorrow and probably pork chops on Wednesday.

  • Here's my menu for the week:

    M- salad with tons of chopped veggies in it for me. Tuna in it for dh.
    T- it was Creamy chicken noodle soup but I think I'm going to do a Kale, Sausage and Bean soup instead with homemade wheat bread.
    W- homemade pizza (buffalo chicken for dh, veggie for me, cheese for the kids)
    T- chicken marinade with noodles (usually use steak but keeping it on the cheap)
    F- fish and veggies and some rice
    S- not quite sure yet, probably left overs of some kind
    Sunday- chinese take out or out to dinner for chinese :)  (Need recommendations for a place--- Northville near 6 mile and Haggerty)

    What are crash potatoes?

     Red Skin potatoes, boiled, smashed drizzled with Olive Oil sprinkled with sea salt/pepper and I put parsley on top then baked to crisp them up.  

     Crash Potatoes

     

  • Those Crash Potatoes look good, I've bookmarked it!

     

    No clue for dinner......yes, it's almost 5pm......mac & cheese probably for the kids, not sure about me (I'm not a mac & cheese gal), but the kids have leftovers of it

  • I ended up with BLT's (turkey bacon for me, real bacon for DH... he's not a big turkey bacon fan...)

    Delicious!  And super healthy!  

     

    Tomorrow I'm going to try a new recipe.  Low carb pizza.  It should be good! (not the healthiest though!)

    If you decide to make it soon, here are two notes:

    1) Soak the lentils over night, then rinse them before you add it to the stock (it brings out the most nutritional value in the lentils)

    2) Wait until the last step (the list simmer for 5 minutes) to salt the stew to taste.  This will prevent the lentils from getting bitter and tough.

  • Probably take out of some kind.  I'm working late tonight, then HAVE to get some groceries.  But by the time I do that, I'll have no interest in cooking!
