S/o chicken

[dizzycooks]

If you don't eat chicken more than once a week, what do you eat? Id love some recipes for other proteins!

[lala]

Salmon. Ground beef. Ground Pork. Sausage. Tofu. Meals w/o meat. Other fish. Occasionally shrimp or steak (but rare). In summer things like ribs, hot dogs, chicken legs, hamburgers, BLTs.

ETA: other cuts of pork like shoulder.

[nowa]

Ground turkey, ground beef, cut up beef for stew, tofu, beans, lentils. We do a lot of stew and soup in colder months. Stir fry or bak tofu. Ground turkey for various pasta sauces or dishes that go with rice in addition to chili type things. Beans and lentils for big dinner salads or soups/stews. Oh also chicken sausage with veggies and pasta or rice every couple weeks. Fish too but not as often because I'm picky about fish.

We do beef once a week chicken 2 and turkey 2. We're very boring. Weekends are a free-for-all

[Deleted]

We do chicken about 2, beef once, pork once, vegetarian twice, and day 7 is usually take-out. On occasion, we also eat turkey london broils or ground turkey or turkey sausage, and once every two weeks, salmon.

[abs]

Ground turkey, pork chops, sirloin, ground beef, sausage, seafood, beans...

My DH would be so happy if we never had chicken. Me, too, really.

In a week, we usually do:

1 chicken
1 beef (usually ground, as meatloaf, kababs, salisbury steak, or I do a roast)
1 lamb (usually grilled, or shank, or in a stew)
1 fish (usually salmon or mahi mahi, pan-fried or sometimes baked)
1 bfast for dinner (usually eggs and toast or pancakes)
1 wildcard (something different - things like ribs, nacho platter, spaghetti, homemade pizza, etc.)
1 dinner out/ordered in

It actually makes it really easy to meal plan this way, since I just need to think of one idea for each protein every week, instead of, say, having to come up with 1,0001 things to make with chicken.

We do

Chicken twice

Beef-ground or steaks once

Shrimp or scallops once

Pork once

Weekends are leftovers or out.

[jnksmom]

We eat
Chicken 1-2 times
Beef 1-2 times
Pork 1time
Pasta or other vegetarian meal 1 night
Weekends we usually eat out or order pizza

*If we eat chicken 2 times I will do beef once and if we eat chicken once I will cook beef twice.

We do a lot of chicken sausage, bratwurst or Italian sausages less often, ground turkey variations-stuffed bell peppers, taco meat, in a breakfast for dinner scramble and turkey patties. We also do ham steak, pork loin or occasional grilled turkey dogs. Rarely we have big steaks due to h's cholesterol issues.

[gwapes]

Either ground turkey or beef.
Maybe a roast
Occasionally pork.


Whatever is on sale

[quesyrah]

Fish- usually salmon because it's on sale. Shrimp, pork or ground turkey.

Maybe once every couple of months we'll grill steaks

[gastro]

We do chicken maybe once a week.
Other nights - salmon, tofu, other fish.
We do pork once every two weeks or so.
Steak/beef once a week.

I could do without so much meat but DS loves steak and ground beef and it's so easy to fire up the grill.

Grilled salmon gets more play at our house than chicken because I actually hate cooking with chicken.

We are pretty adventurous eaters so squid, mackerel, octopus, crab, all sorts of fish, tofu grilled and in soups are on the menu often.

See and I have to go out of my way to find decent scallops around here and even then they cost a fortune because we live as far from an ocean as you can get. I would totally eat all of that (minus the tofu) but it's not even available at the few stores I frequent.

Is this where I insert my water-borne food issues? LMK.

I'm going to need a list of foods you do eat chica...

[minismama]

We do a lot of chicken and turkey. I love to make a turkey breast and we usually will have it for dinner one night and sliced in sandwiches for lunch for the rest of the week. Shrimp and BFD are served often also. We also eat a lot of pork. Fish, Beef and pasta dishes are served once in a while.

I eat a lot. The only things I REFUSE to eat are things that ever lived in water and things with peppermint oil. I don't like a lot of things, but i'll eat them.

That makes it harder and more expensive
Most of the seafood we eat is local wild caught and fresh from the pacific.
Costco has decent wild caught frozen salmon.

When we join Costco this fall I intend to splurge on seafood, but it'll be frozen and I know fresh is soooo much yummier. Canned tuna for the win here folks. Although my dad did just give me some tilapia he caught in Alaska...I need to find a yummy recipe for that!

I was going to suggest Costco too. They usually have scallops for $17/lb. They also tend to have the best price on crab
