Feeding ourselves this week

[sadlebred]

What's cooking?

Sunday: Mac n cheese, veggie (It's late now, so it's got to be fast and not popcorn.) Edited to say: Nope. Granola cereal. It was even later than I'd planned.

Monday: Not sure, probably soup + Grilled cheese. I need something quick.

Tuesday: veggie chickn cutlets, cous cous, veggie

Thursday: Maybe out with a friend or a tofu burrito (Willys. IYKYK)

Friday/Sat.: Not sure, things from the pantry/freezer. I may make a pasta and homemade pasta sauce (OMG! Yes, something I actually make from scratch.) I have some ingredients that need to get used up.

LOL, me too!!!

I'm having a rough time w/r/t cooking lately. Or honestly, since the new year. I usually enjoy cooking but lately just don't have the motivation anymore. I feel like I go through this every late winter/early spring.

Has anyone tried the Kevin meals? I have two of those in the fridge that need to be cooked this week. I'll make those and put them over shirataki noodles. 
sausage and peppers
taco salad

I'm scanning the thread for any easy, quick meals. 

[sadlebred]

fluffycookie I can barely feed myself some weeks (see: eating out) let alone find myself. If anyone finds Sadle, please LMK.

We really like the Kevin meals and lean heavily on them on nights where there just isn't time to plan or do much. I do like to add more fresh veggies even if it isn't specific to the dish because it just makes it easier to do a "one pan" style meal but that's obviously just personal preference.

[tacokick]

Crabcakes, deviled eggs, potato salad, asparagus

Crabcakes, deviled eggs, potato salad, some other vegetable

Ham, roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts

Frittata with ham? I bought ham as a back up for Easter so we have a whole (small) one to eat

Cod, spinach and rolls? potato?

[SwimDeep]

Last night's dinner was a homerun - pan seared lamb chops, celery root and parsnip mash, snap peas with carrots, and a creamy cucumber and radish salad. Felt very springy and ate pretty light.

So the rest of the week probably won't live up to that 😅

Monday - pork chops with mango/pineapple salsa leftover from last Friday. Still need to figure out a veggie.
Tuesday - salmon... maybe with roasted broccoli and sautéed peppers/onions.
Wednesday - Thai green curry? Or leftover takeout pizza and salads.
Thursday - rotisserie chicken... either hot with baked sweet potatoes and black beans or cold for giant chef salads.
Friday - Depends on what we decide to have on Wednesday.

Tonight -- leftovers from Easter dinner. Steak, mashed potatoes and I'll have to make another veggie because we ate all the asparagus.

I am off today and tomorrow and want to put together some make-ahead meals that I can do in big batches. A friend of mine is having major surgery this week and I want to do double-duty making some meals for my family and hers. I'm thinking chicken enchiladas and shepherd's pie, and with any luck those should get us through until Friday.

We just got back from vacation where we ate all of our meals out, so I need to reign in eating habits this week. We are also starting out baseball season this week (although it's supposed to rain a bunch, so games probably won't happen, this menu is counting on rain outs, if we play it'll be different), so I need to start thinking about easy/quick meals. Or crockpot meals that can sit for 12 hours...

Monday: Chicken scampi, salad, garlic bread
Tuesday: Salisbury steaks and mashed potatoes
Wednesday: Lasagna roll ups
Thursday: Chicken stir fry
Friday: we're going to an MLB game for our anniversary (it's 4/4)

Tonight - air fried thyme chicken thighs and mashed potatoes
