What is on your meal plan for the week?

[honeybadger]

I am looking through recipes to put my shopping list together. I'm noticiing that most of my recipes are slow cooker recipes.

I guess that will happen after a week of waking up to 50 degree weather!

So far ribs for tonight. Other than that I haven't gotten very far. We had an unexpected expense with the truck, even though the insurance is covering the majority of it. So its going to be an eat at home and what we have as much as possible next two weeks, until our next pay days.

Probably a lot of ice cream and jello for P after Tuesday morning. Not sure what I will want. P will have his wisdom teeth removed Tuesday. I think Monday I will make chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and country gravy since he won't get to have anything good for awhile.

I'm only making 4 meals this week and we'll eat leftovers and possibly go out Sat night.

Tonight: Cafe Rio Barbacoa Sweet Pulled Pork Salad. Um...AMAZING.
#2. Avocado Chicken Parmigiana
#3. Grilled chicken and veggies
#4. Creamy chicken verde tacos.

Tonight and #4 are slow cooker meals. #4 is the easiest thing I have ever made and oh so tasty. Can you tell I love mexican food? Best cuisine out there! I can provide recipes if wanted!

And Broiled Chicken.

I can make one meal go a long way when I am just feeding myself.

Why yes, you may! I'm on my phone so hopefully everything works out okay.

(tonight I made all of it the way the recipe calls for. My gosh, it's a lot of work! Other times I just heated up the black beans and called it good. Did the same with the rice. It tasted just so delicious with it plain. I bought pre-made tortilla strips at the store. Also, I always buy the raw flour tortilla strips and heat cheese on them on the frying pan. I made the guacamole tonight and that was amazing. I never add jalepenos because that is too spicy for me.)

(I bought the raw corn tortillas for these tacos. This was seriously one of the easiest meals I have made. 3 ingredients plus toppings. Yuuum!)

M is working a wonky schedule for the next two weeks so I'm mostly making stuff that re-heats well and can be put in the freezer if necessary.

Last night I made a turkey breast so we'll have leftovers for sandwiches.

I made bolognese and have a ton in the freezer so spaghetti or ravs or something.

Italian beef

Carnitas

Grilled chicken for salads, wraps, pasta
