I heat up a can of Amy's refried beans and make Rice a Roni spanish rice out of the box. Spray a small baking dish with nonstick spray. Roll 2 tbsp each of the rice and beans in soft taco shells (like cigars). Place seam down in the tray. Bake at 400 for 20 min. Done!

Fuck yeah.

[Chirp]

I was feeling lazy when I made my list this weekend, so I recycled an old list (yes, I'm a nerd and keep grocery and meal lists in a notebook).

Swedish meatballs, egg noodles and green beans
Ham, mashed potatoes and corn
Vegetarian chili
Andouille sausage w/ cornbread and veggies

My little sister was over yesterday while I was cooking. She watched everything I was doing, in awe of my single day of cooking plan. She went home and made a pie, chicken salad, and the andouille sausage thing. She didn't want our mom to have to cook through the week (she's 16).

[cuddlyevil]

Breakfast for dinner at least once this week.

Homemade fishsticks (sneaking in the salmon baby!), mashed potatoes and veggies.

Gnocchi with sauce or something (haven't decided yet).

Turkey tenderloin, mashed potatoes and veggies (we'll get 3 or 4 meals out of it so I'll mix it up a bit somehow).

That is very cool of your sister!

What kind of sauce does everyone put on their gnocchi?

[maucat]

So far the only thing on my menu is trying out a new recipe tonight for sweet potato and apple soup. The photo in the magazine is clearly orange, so they must've used yams. My dilemma is whether to use sweet potatoes, which I love, or yams, which are meh for me.

I'm thinking later this week I'll make crockpot salsa chicken, then live off the leftovers for at least 5 days afterwards. Chicken tacos, chicken nachos, chicken tortilla soup...

This. But the kids aren't big fans of sauce so I might do something with a bit of olive oil and garlic or butter and parmesean cheese.

[maucat]

Creamy tomato sauce is my favorite.

::snort:: It would have been cooler if she and her boyfriend hadn't eaten all of the sausage and most of the pie while my mom and step-dad were out buying a new dryer. My mom gets chicken salad for the rest of the week. Ha.

At least she cleaned the kitchen when she was done. She usually bakes stuff and then leaves the mess for mom to deal with.

FTR, mom thought it was funny. If the kitchen was a mess, she probably wouldn't have laughed at it.


The girl is tiny, but there's a fat girl in there just dying to come out and party.

[imoan]

I usually make tacos one night, some sort of pasta one night, fish & baked potato with veggies one night... uh, yeah.

I am glad she cleaned up after herself. Look at it this way, at least she made dinner for her boyfriend and herself instead of expecting your mom to cook for her.

[broc]

Tonight we're grilling out, tomorrow is french toast, wednesday is sauce makin' night. Thursday we'll do tacos, and friday is going to be some kind of stuffed shells/lasagna/something baked with noodles & ricotta.

[starrieskies]

Oh my gawd! I really want french toast right now...

I mix it up. Tomato, butter, or white sauce with lots of parm or gorgonzola.

Yep. That's how we look at it.

She does this a lot... decides she's going to make brownies, a cake, cookies, dinner, etc for someone else. The second she smells the finished product, she has to give it a taste test, then she has a small plate/bowl... next thing you know the pan is empty and she's in hiding.

Ah, to be a teenager.

[gbck]

We have very vague menus.
I know that the plan is:
-tonigiht, whatever my dad makes us (yes, that's cheating)
one night, honey pecan pork loin
one night ceasar salads (with or w/o chicken, depending on mood)
one night, probably chicken snack wraps
one night pancakes.

[aliceinfairyland]

lasagna
meatballs and baked potatoes
breakfast burritos
cheeseburgers
homemade pizza

[fussbucket]

Sunday - butternut squash soup and croutons
Monday - pot roast (glares at HS) with carrots and potatoes with baconed collards
Tuesday - enchilada casserole
Wednesday - leftover pot roast
Thursday - spaghetti with meat sauce
Friday - black beans and rice

I like gnocchi with pesto best of all.

I made one this week specifically so I could participate in this thread instead of saying what I had last night for dinner.
