I hate cooking so much.

Tonight we are having turkey meatballs, mashed potatoes and carrots-- doubling because I'm taking a meal to another family too.

Tues: butternut squash and black bean enchiladas

Wed-Fri: everyplate dinners

I think this is going to be my last week for meal kits.

I had an epiphany that I cook meals based one what I think my family might eat. It's not what I would make for myself, and half the time they don't eat it anyway.

So I'm going to try making the meals that I want and see what happens.

[beerlover]

Sunday: chicken and steak fajitas
Monday: I was supposed to be going to our brewery for a mug club event so I had not planned anything, but DS is sick, so I'll have to scrounge something up. Maybe I'll just have turkey clubs tonight.

Wednesday: Emily Bites cheesy chili mac
Thursday: Skinnytaste fish florentine

I’m so sick of cooking. We ended up doing a lot of takeout last week so I have a few meals that got pushed to this week.

Wednesday: sausage gravy breakfast casserole

[Pilsy]

I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again in case anyone needs to feel better about herself.

My children eat a steady rotation of chicken nuggets, turkey dogs, PB&J, pasta, and tacos. The little one eats pizza and salmon, so sub in one of those for her once a week, but that's it. I used to worry about it or be embarrassed, but I'm over it. They eat plenty of fruit and vegetables as sides, drink milk and/or eat tons of cheese, so I just roll with it.

My H and I have tacos one night, kielbasa/rice/veg one night, and takeout one night. The other nights, we might to pasta, salads, soup (from a can!!), sandwiches, crock pot chicken fiesta, breakfast for dinner (which the kids will also eat), etc. We manage to feed ourselves, but we hate cooking and aren't foodies. Meal planning has never been necessary since we largely buy and eat the same stuff from week to week. I guess you could say we did meal plan for a week at one point and we've used that same plan for years on end.

[rosiebear]

Oh, just so it's very clear-- my child should never be counted in my meal plans. Everything I make is "disgusting" and he'll take a frozen blueberry waffle and a pouch so that he can use hunger as a stalling tactic at bedtime.

[Nonny]

Sun: Chicken + veggie fried rice, pork bao, crab rangoon, edamame - mostly from Costco & pulled from the freezer
Mon: Swedish meatballs*, crash hot potatoes, canned cranberry sauce
Tue: 6 can taco soup
Wed: Leftovers

Beyond that, I need to go to Costco, so I'll probably pick up a meatloaf and salad kit, which will be two meals.



*This will make three meals total; I'll freeze the rest for later.

[1confused1]

I literally have no idea and I can’t focus enough to try and come up with a meal plan. I’ll probably just grab stuff from the freezer and see what I can come up with.

[lilypad1126]

Sun: Chinese buffet
Mon: BLTs and either cottage cheese or a side salad? Maybe a can of soup? I don't know.
Tues: Leftover spaghetti
Wed - Sat: I'm out of town, H is on his own.

[gretchenindisguise]

Yesterday fried rice with chicken.

This week in no order:
Shrimp ceviche
Italian sausage and polenta
Steak and roasted potatoes (it's been forever since we made steak, but H asked and it was on sale so yay)

And we'll figure out the rest from there.

[hermione]

Meat Loaf & Baked Potatoes + some veggie
Bacon + Eggs
Chicken Fajitas
Steak Wraps with some sort of Side Salad

Pizza on Friday and leftovers will cover the rest of the week.
