Tell me what you are eating this week

[Muddled]

I have a brand new fridge full of good stuff, but I'm not sure what I'm making yet.

What are you eating for dinner this week?

[Deleted]

Heeeey I can actually participate in this!

M - rice and bean taquitos and southwest salad
T - vegetable frittata and a salad
W - zucchini cakes with lemon ginger basmati rice and a Caesar salad
Th - wraps (mine will probably be spanish rice, sundried tomatoes, red onion and hummus, H's will be a waldorf chicken salad)
F - friend's birthday party
Sa - pasta shells with mushrooms, asparagus and Boursin cheese sauce and a Caesar salad

Yeah, I meal plan like a fiend.

This week, whatever H feeds us! There was some kind of chicken tagine situation shaping up in the crock pot when I left this morning. I also saw "wadded beef" on the list for the week, which I think means something having to do with braised London broil. But you can never be too sure with H, only sure that it will be yummy.

Are you veg, Fein?

Yep!

[Muddled]

Do you alternate cooking weeks, Fuss? Wadded beef sounds, ummmm.... interesting.

I didn't know that, Fein! Me too.

I went insane at the farmer's market this week....

Ball squash stuffed with rice, beans, and local goat cheese
Salmon burgers, roasted potatoes and turnips. Another random veggie.
Mac n cheese, BBQ baked beans, collard greens
Mushroom, barley, sugar snap pea casserole
shrimp po boys and salad
poached eggs over random veggies

[malibu]

No idea. Possibly some stuffed pizza burgers, a baked mac & cheese, and maybe a couple stir fries. I didn't meal plan this week.

[fussbucket]

We do alternate, Muddled. It keeps us from burning out on certain chores. On your week off you feel like you're being treated!

The wadded beef thing is a Simpsons reference. Fully one third of the content of H's and my conversations are probably Simpsons references.

Not sure yet - grocery shopping tonight!

[partiallysunny]

I use to meal plan, but I stopped. I really should start again, my grocery bill has been a tragedy.

[maucat]

I don't meal plan, but really should. The definites for this week include leftover fritata, lefotver gnocchi (today's lunch), greek yogurt, apples, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, tomato soup, and tuna and turkey sandwiches.

[Muddled]

That makes me feel better about what you are eating, Fuss! I was a little worried for you. I do weekday dinners, but Brad usually cooks on the weekends. It is nice to sit back and have dinner magically appear in front of you!

We will have stir fry this week with veggies and tofu and rice. Pasta with asparagus. Maybe quinoa with kale pesto. Time to break out my trusty books!

[smock]

We don't have a meal plan, but here are some things I know we'll eat: sweet potato fries. Probably stir fry. Probably something pasta, probably lots of green salads, and maybe a pizza.

Yeah. mmm.

Here are the ingredients we have this week, I don't usually know a lot of FI's meal plans though:
the meats:
hamburgers (ground beef and sandwich thins)
tuna steaks
a whole chicken

the veggies:
broccolli
snap peas
lettuce
kale

and usually some type of starch like sweet potatoes or quinoa.

Jenny Craig meals and a lot of fruit and smoothies

[broc]

Sunday was grilled pork chops for H & Joaquin, veggie burger with avocado and tomato for me (I shared the veg with Joaquin), plus corn on the cob.

Tonight was cheesy grits with chicken for H, mushrooms spinach & onion for me, and Joaquin had yogurt and grapes.

Tomorrow is spaghetti... I'm about to start the sauce in a minute here. It's also bath night, trust. Plus, spinach salad.

Wednesday is quesadillas & sweet potato fries.

Thursday is stuffed shells (spinach for me) with the leftover sauce, plus spinach salad.

Friday my BFF is coming to town, so we're going out for Mexican, hollaaaa. Same with Saturday.

[fussbucket]

Now that I'm home I wish to elaborate on exactly what H's meal plan for the week says, to put the issue of wadded beef in context:

Su - grill steak
M - crockchicken
Tu - chickenbeans
W - beefo
Th - fish daggers
F - wadded beef

I honestly have no idea if beefo and wadded beef are two different things or if one will entail leftovers of the other. But seriously, he is an awesome cook.

[beebeeeater]

FISH DAGGERS? Please elaborate!

Sun - Pork & Veg Lo Mein
Mon - Sausage with Peppers & Onions
Tue - I have book club, H will have leftover pork & veg over rice
Wed - Something with chicken & potatoes - maybe Greek style with lots of lemon and salt in the oven
Thurs - CSA Day so I'm thinking marinated London broil with a bunch of veggies on the grill

No ideas for the weekend yet

[Muddled]

You slay me, Fuss.

[fussbucket]

Fish daggers are individually frozen fish fillets. We joke that they look and feel like something you could shank someone with.

Sounds delish!

[mortomo]

I have not thought that far ahead. I feel like we have so many repeats. It's too hot for the oven, so it's either the grill, stovetop or pressure cooker. Maybe I'll pan fry some tilapia tonight.
