Menus?!

What's everyone eating this week?

Saturday: bacon-wrapped venison filet, corn and cheesy broccoli rice

Sunday: leftovers for the parents, spaghetti and meatballs for the kids

Monday: Venison taco bake

Tuesday: leftovers of both the bake and the meatballs

Wednesday: kielbasa and buttered noodles

Thursday: still to be decided

Friday: pizza

Saturday: chicken of some sort

Sunday: whatever DH makes, as I work until 4p

Looking at the above, I need to find a good hearty veggie meal to make at least once a week. Any suggestions? We're kind of in "clean out the freezer mode" to save money and to eat the food before freezer burn sets in.

    Not much inspiration there!   

  • Sunday: World's best chicken, broccoli: recipe for chicken here, it's delicious, but the "world's best" is just the name :)  http://rachelschultz.com/2012/07/11/worlds-best-chicken/

    Monday: Ranch style pork chops; brown rice: recipe here: http://www.campbellskitchen.com/Recipes/RecipeDetails?recipeid=25085&fm=internal_search&sf9143065=1

    Tuesday: Slow cooker beef stroganoff over noodles, I've never made it, we'll see how this goes: recipe here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/slow-cooker-beef-stroganoff-i/detail.aspx 

    Wednesday: Leftover pork chops, brown rice

    Thursday: Salsa chicken, spanish rice

    Friday: Frozen pizza

    Saturday:  Not sure

  • Monday ? Orange Apricot pork chops, broccoli, tater tots
    Tuesday ? I?m teaching/family on their own
    Wednesday ? Chicken Tenders, Mexican rice, smoothies
    Thursday ? Chili, noodles, cauliflower
    Friday/Saturday ? out/MIL?s
    Sunday - Emergency Soup, grilled cheese
     
    Veggie meal ideas:
    Beans, beans and tomatoes ? I saute green beans, then add white cannelini beans, diced tomatoes, parmesan, season to taste and simmer until well combined. Serve over noodles.
     
    Vegetarian chili ? I use some Boca meatless crumbles to add some texture so it isn?t just beans. I also use a lot of veggies ? red pepper, zucchini, tomatoes, carrots
     
    Soup with grilled cheese ? Red pepper and tomato soup, Sweet Potato soup, Vegetable soup,
    Emergency Soup above is leeks, potatoes, carrots, onion and chick peas with dill. For most of them, I either add some cream or puree some of it to make it creamy.
     
    Emmy?s tortilla soup made with quinoa instead of chicken.
     
    Simmer white cannelini beans and then puree them into pasta sauce. Serve over cheese tortellini or cheese ravioli.
     
    Heather doesn?t really eat meat, except for breaded chicken and fish sticks, so I have to have lots of ways to offer protein in dairy, bean and nut form.

  • I forgot that Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, so no meat for us! I got toasted raviolis at Aldis today, so I'll make that with a salad.
