I am reducing my carbs these days, mostly white bread, white potatoes, white rice, some pasta, and most sweets. Usually 5-6 days a week.So that reflects my meals.

Taco salad with chicken and a wheat tortilla

Chicken, peppers, onions, with rotel and taco season over cauliflower rice and cheese.

Grilled chicken buffalo wings with Brussel sprouts

But tonight we're going out for pizza for a friend's birthday, so obviously not a lower carb day.

[erbear]

I made chili last night. 
Tonight: gnocchi with homemade pesto
Wednesday: lentil curry with rice and naan
Thursday: crock pot chicken tacos (I'm feeding two extra kids for the week starting on Thursday so everything's about to get real simple)

[supertrooper1]

M-Cheesesteaks on pretzel buns and air fried potatoes.
T-Tacos
W-Caprese chicken and green beans
TH-Some type of chicken TBD, probably with peppers
F-out with Beau's mom at a Mexican restaurant

[k3am]

M - Ban Mi tacos & roasted carrots & broccoli
T - Chicken Milanese, broccoli & garlic bread
W - fast food
Th - bell pepper & pork flat bread & salad
F - Wine and takeout with the neighbors.

I came home from work last week to bags on our porch and we didn't order anything. Turns out the Uber delivery driver dropped it off at the wrong address. I called the store, but there isn't anything they can do and they did say they would refund the purchaser.
So anyway, we got probably about $200 in free groceries.

We got Salmon, ground turkey and chicken for the meat, so we are doing a marinated grilled salmon tonight. Saturday we did chicken parmesan. Sunday we did stuffed enchilada shells. We use a different recipe but this one is very very similar. lifewiththecrustcutoff.com/enchilada-stuffed-shells/

I'm not sure what DH has planned for Wed/ Thurs as he did the menu.

[soccermama]

Sun - steaks, baked potato, big salad.
M - DH grilled a pork butt, so we did shredded pork, baked beans.
T - we have lean steak so probably make either fajitas or kabobs, veggies & steam rice.
W - I'm meeting a friend out, yayyyy.
TH - probably Trader Joe's frozen for kids, veggie fried rice & mini pizzas
F - hopefully pizza or takeout

[mae0111]

Sun: Skinnytaste bolognese in the instant pot. It was delicious!
Mon: Sheetpan chicken fajitas on carb balance tortillas
Tues: If DH gets done with work on time, he'll grill bourbon marinated steak tips. I'll serve it with potatoes or caprese tortellini salad, and green beans
Wed: breaded chicken cutlets in the air fryer over salad
Thurs: leftovers
Fri: usually order out or I will make pizza
Sat: Hopefully out after DD2's late afternoon soccer game.

I have very little creativity or efforts available to give this week so it’s simple:
Pasta with meat sauce
Tacos
Garlic Shrimp lemon butter pasta

Rest of the week is open

Last week I made slow cooker Italian beef and it was a hit.

2 pound chuck roast
2 packets Italian seasoning
Enough water to just barely cover most of the meat (2-4 cups)
Rub one packet on each side of the roast and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for less. You really can’t mess it up. Once cooked shred. Serve on your choice of roll/hoagie/sub and top with whatever you want. We like them plain dipped in the au jus.

I served with a side of garlic green beans.

librarychica, a pork roast and then shred and do pulled pork sliders one night and use leftovers for loaded nachos or just freeze the rest for a quick dinner later on?

Today everyone has something going on and I have 4 glorious hours home alone so it is a fend for yourself night!
Tomorrow-roasted chicken, baked potatoes, veggies
Thurs-enchilada bake very similar to this www.amomstake.com/slow-cooker-chicken-enchilada-casserole/
Fri-chicken sandwiches

[dglvrk2]

Monday was pork chops and salad
Tuesday - meatball subs
Wednesday - chicken noodle soup
Thursday - chicken fajitas
Friday - pizza

[librarychica]

sandandsea, I’m going to get a chuck roast next week and try that!

I think tomorrow it’ll be lentil & sausage stew in the crock pot. Blackened tilapia with yellow rice and black beans either Thursday. H wants to make chicken wings Friday. Am I the only one who doesn’t get chicken wings? It’s so much work to eat, so little payout.

[waverly]

librarychica, they are just OK for us, but I have to admit we rarely eat them maybe 2 times every 5 years or something. We would prefer other cuts for grilling.

[twinmomma]

M - Beef and broccoli with rice
T - DH and I ordered out sushi
W - Salad with asparagus, goat cheese, and some kind of protein (DH brought home 4 lbs of greens from work)
Th - Pasta and salad
F - on vacation!

[magdala]

Domino quesadillas with fruit salad
General Gau’s tofu over jasmine rice with broccolini
Shrimp scampi pizza
Turkey hash with corn muffins
Egg and veggie pockets with spinach apple salad
Sweet-hot salmon with asparagus and sourdough popovers

librarychica, I love chicken wings. From Wing Stop. Or Buffalo Wild Wings, despite hating the restaurant. I do not like homemade wings. Anywhere.
