WFD? (too early?) and a recipe request

[Deleted]

I came home from work early today and H and I are starving so I'm already making dinner, even though it's only 3:30. I feel like an old lady eating so early. We're having baked tilapia, rice, and broccoli. Nothing fancy, but easy to make and tasty.

What are you guys having?


Also, I want to make a shit load of crock pot meals this weekend in gallon zipper bags so I can throw them in the crock pot in the morning before work. Do you have any favorites?

I'm making crockpot salsa chicken on Friday. Just chicken and salsa. I think some people add cream cheese.

We're going to MIL's for dinner tonight, I'm not sure what we're having.

[luckyval]

I am a single gal tonight and tomorrow.

Dinner will likely be cheese and crackers and wine. Lots of wine

[tacokick]

Chili Mac

[captainobvious]

Chicken caesar salad, cauliflower mash.

ETA: That's my dinner, not my crockpot rec.

I really like the Iowa Girl Eats Italian Beef recipe. I don't do the bread, just the meat and cheese.

Tacos for H, I make mine into taco salad.

[wambam]

Deconstructed stuffed bell peppers

[Rainyday]

I have no ideas for dinner tonight.
For the crockpot I like the balsamic pork roast on Skinnytaste. I sub black pepper for the chili flakes so the kids will eat it.
I also like the maple Dijon pork chops on eatliverun.com

We're having roasted fig flatbread salad tonight. Tomorrow will probably be veggie donburri.

[malibu]

I have no kid all week, so my meals this week will likely include things like cereal, BLTs, and quite possibly some PB&Js.

[rachel6789]

Beef stuffed with garlic butter and spinach, lobster tails, garlic mashed potatoes, and roasted cauliflower and broccoli.

It's my H's birthday so I'm making all the things he loves.

Buffalo chicken balls, inspired by gummybear, and incidentally I am currently eating gummy bears. Talk about thinking about MLers irl.

Oh yum! I hope they are good!! They are also low (ish) carb

I was planning on chicken meatballs with sautéed zucchini, but I cooked a bunch of bacon this morning (package was already open and didn't want it to go bad) so am now thinking burgers with bacon on top. Yum.

[bonquiqui]

Tilapia. I also came home early. So nauseous and need sleep

[FastHands]

I'm making ground turkey with a box of velveeta shells and cheese and a can of rotel. FANCY!

Crock pot things I like -- Skinnytaste's crock pot santa fe chicken and crock pot picadillo are my favorites.

When you say you put them in freezer bags.. do you put raw meat in with the veggies and freeze them..? I am intrigued.

[Patsy Stone]

I'm trying out a new crockpot recipe, chicken and gravy. I'm going to serve it with mashed potatoes and veggies.

[rockpaperscissors]

I made tonight's dinner last night.  Baked bow tie pasta and Italian sausage, side salad for me and probably broccoli for my kid. H is working late.

Well, that's what I have seen online, yes, but I've never actually done it. I've never done any kind of meal planning, TBH, and want to change that now that I work normal people hours. I'm googling now, actually. I've seen them layered in freezer bags, you take it out the night before and just dump it in the crock pot.

I plan to hit the gym after work and H is getting a haircut, so dinner will be something easy. I think he's going to have leftover spaghetti from yesterday. I may just have something small.

[medicmommy]

Stuffed shells, green beans, and salad.

I did the prep last night so I just need to warm them.

My H is OOT so I am thinking it will either be chicken tenders (shake & bake) or sloppy joes (made with turkey). The kids love both equally.

[shamrockshake]

crispy baked chicken fingers and probably zucchini

[silva]

I have to make dinner tonight? fuck. lkasdjvlkajh$i

[ProfessorArtNerd]

We are having creamed chipped beef because it's lucys favorite. Because she's a little old man lol.

[juliachild]

Brats and lemon pasta with tomatoes and spinach.

[sandyapples]

Pork chops, baked potatoes and veggies

[styme46]

We are also having tilapia, but I put EVOO and lemon Goya on ours in foil packets and we grill it. I'm also making mac n cheese and broccoli.

[cabbagecabbage]

I made an experimental paste of basil, mint, chives, garlic, dry corriander, cumin, and tahini rubbed under the skin of chicken thighs. I'm going to roast those, Yukon golds, and zucchini.

I've had better luck prepping and freezing just the veggies and spices and then adding fresh meat on the cooking day. The texture and flavor are a lot better and it doesn't really take much effort to dump the meat in day of vs freezing it.
