Meals this week?

[candreco]

What are you eating this week?  I feel so meh about menu planning this week and still need one more day. 

Friday: Greek takeout
Saturday: sheet pan roasted smoked turkey sausage, potatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower
Sunday: it's just DH and I and we'll probably have a late lunch, so just leftover pita and hummus most likely
Monday: barbacoa burrito bowls
Tuesday: spiced lamb patties, naan, village salad, tzatziki
Wednesday: chicken parm, pasta, broccoli
Thursday: who the heck knows....

[sproctopus]

My version of the Cornish pasty stuffed with sweet potato, sausage and peas & green beans on the side

Roasted chicken with Trader Joe's harvest grain blend and broccoli

Tomato soup with everything but the bagel cheddar soda bread croutons

[sofamonkey]

I’ll be stalking this thread to make my menu, so thanks to all of you in advance lol

[cereal K]

We’re on a Wed-Tues meal planning schedule right now. This week, we had:

Wed: Beef and Cabbage soup with Bread
Thurs: Take out (KFB)
Fri: Sheetpan Teriyaki Salmon with Broccoli and Peppers
Sat: Chicken & Dumplings
Sun: Halloween-shaped pasta with marinara and meatballs
Mon: Leftovers
Tues: Tacos/Nachos

[Nonny]

Tonight: gnocchi in pink sauce, caesar salad, garlic bread

Sunday: baked chicken (probably with a panko/parm breading), boxed stovetop stuffing, green beans

Monday: assorted pork bao, pot stickers, edamame, and miso soup (using up some odds and ends in the freezer, I might throw lumpia into that mix too)

Tuesday: fend for yourself night; I might have jury duty, so I didn't plan for anything. We can always do some freezer pizza and apples

Wednesday: hamburgers

Thursday: eight can taco soup (sub a chicken breast for the can of chicken, and jalapeno refried beans for the cream of crap soup)

Friday: French toast and sausage

[Deleted]

Thai peanut chicken and veggies

Salmon and grilled veggie skewers

Shepherd's pie

Chixken Biryani (sp?) With cauliflower rice

There are only 2 of us, so that's probably actually more than a week's worth of dinners.

It’s surprisingly warm so this is all a bit tentative.

Salmon salad

Lamb stuffed squash

Chicken meatballs, some sort of sauce, over mashed potatoes

Pork chips with wild rice and broccoli

Japanese curry with chicken

Slow cooker beef chili or stew (if the weather holds and we can get the roof done—I know I won’t want to do any hands on cooking)

[gretchenindisguise]

Pot roast
Ahi tuna for adults - chicken for kids
Pulled pork sandwiches and sweet potatoes
Homemade pizza
Leek and potato soup
Chili (on Halloween)

[campermom]

Sausage, spinach and gnocchi one pot meal
Chicken, brussel sprouts and whatever boxes grain I can find

I’m struggling over here. I hope I have soup or stew in the freezer.

Thai peanut chicken .

Would you mind sharing your recipe for this?

[wambam]

It’s below 55, which makes me just want to eat curry and chili every day

Sure! dinnerthendessert.com/sheet-pan-peanut-chicken-veggies/

It's super easy, and the sauce is delicious. I usually double the sauce and use half for leftovers or other things. I make it as directed, then just keep adding peanut butter until I get the taste and consistency I want.

It’s really tasty! It’s not terribly spicy but it is really savory. Normally I made it with beef and in the slow cooker but we have chicken. You can buy cubes of the seasoning (S & B Golden Curry is the most popular, I think—they also make the curry powder you need for making it from scratch) or you can make it yourself pretty easily.

I haven’t used this recipe but this looks good norecipes.com/japanese-curry-scratch/

I’ve found the cubes in regular supermarkets here like Safeway so it’s not too hard to find. I normally make it from scratch because I have a huge jar of the powder.

NYT also has a recipe for making the cubes yourself which is interesting

The S&B curry cubes really are very tasty. I love doing a simple veg curry with big chunks of carrots, potatoes, and onions. I usually go lighter on the broth to keep the consistency thicker.

If you have Japanese sweet potatoes, they are very good instead of regular potatoes too. It’s really the only way I like sweet potatoes; it helps thicken it up too.
