Let's see....
Friday & Saturday were pizza / leftover nights
Sunday: we ate lunch kind of late so I think we just picked at whatever was in the fridge
Monday: pork roast in the crockpot with mashed potatoes (For the roast, I added a seasoned it with salt & pepper, then added a beef stock cube, sliced onions and apples, and watered down apple juice, and cooked it for about 4.5 hours. Since I didn't follow a recipe, I was a bit nervous, but DH raved about it.:) )
Tuesday: leftovers with fresh broccoli (maybe roasted or cheesy?)
Wednesday: lasagna I had in the freezer from a couple of weeks ago
Thursday: taquitos and mexican rice
Friday: frozen pizza, probably
Saturday - Sunday: I'm off, so I'll probably make a casserole on Sunday for a couple of nights' dinner, and DH will probably grill steaks, which will also get us a couple of nights.
ETA: I'm hoping to get a new microwave this weekend, since ours crapped out last week. It's been difficult living without one with leftovers!!
My three sons!
Monday: Apple djion pork roast; baked potatoes; roasted parmesan broccoli & cauliflower
Tuesday: Leftover hot sausage on rolls; sweet potato fries
And that's as far as I've thought about! I hope everyone else has some good ideas. My freezer and pantry are stocked with food, but I have zero inspiration.
Monday: homemade chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese
Tuesday: shrimp scampi
Wed: leftover soup
Thurs: pot roast (i hate that there's a steeler game on thursday!! I feel like football has overtaken my life).
Friday: Crab Risotto

spaghetti
salmon, french fries and corn
porkchops, apples/onions and couscous
escarole and white beans over pasta

Saturday- out with my parents
Mandy, they're frozen in a bag from Costco, I think the brand is Me Lyng or something like that. They're chicken and vegetable dumplings and they're delicious.
We do make our own sauce for them and serve them over brown rice.
We cook the dumpling in a wok in the sauce, it's all to taste preference:
Olive oil to coat the pan
Soy Sauce
Garlic
Onion powder
Crunchy peanut butter
stir until the sauce is smooth, pour over dumplings, boil, then simmer.
That sounds sooo good!

Wednesday ? Eggs, blueberry pancakes, asparagus & potatoes, pears
Thursday ? Homemade pizza, sweet potato fries, apples
Friday ? School event from 6-8pm. If they don?t serve food we?ll leave early and eat out.
