Dinners this week too

[sofamonkey]

Since we have a lunch thread already, I thought we should do dinners too.

This week, we have on DH OOT until Saturday. Everything we eat will be twice, but not in a row. Except BFD, that’s once. Lol

Breakfast for dinner, sausages, French toast, and fruit

BLTs

Hot dogs in croissants with broccoli

Pulled pork leftovers

I made this soup last week and it was so good! I did have quite a bit of additions- added one full fat can of coconut milk, a large russet potato to the roasting process, tripled the garlic, added chicken bullion, and added cayenne pepper. I also added lots of fresh rosemary and thyme when adding the roasted vegetables back to the pan. I'm making it again this week it was so good!

Did you have the quinoa celery kale salad? How is it if that’s where you got it? I’m not a fan of celery and that’s what stops me from getting it every time.

[katfco]

It's "how can I save myself time" week.
1. Chicken and wild rice soup
2. Slow cooker salisbury steak
3. chicken tortilla soup
3. chili

Yes, I love it. So easy for lunches or a side. There isn’t too much celery in it.

We’ve gotten it before too. LOVE it!! And the dressing is on the side, and in two packets, so you can just make half at a time.

I’ve traveled the last four weeks, so I’m excited to be able to have homemade food this week. And then DH reminded me that our kids have a ton of activities this week. I’m not letting that completely deter me, so we may have to move things around, but loosely here’s how I’m envisioning it:

Sun- DH made spaghetti (happened!)
Mon: I have a roast with potatoes and carrots in the crockpot
Tues: Both kids have activities, so it’ll have to be fast food
Wed: Pulled pork in the crockpot after DD’s field hockey game
Thurs: Turkey burgers
Fri: Pizza

[livinitup]

I bought a box of roma tomatoes at the farmers market. Fun tip-> If you slice in half and bake in the oven, it’s Ames a wonderful sauce!

So far (these are usually in rotation):

- Chicken & Spinach Meatballs w homemade sauce (2 dinners)

- Chicken Stuffed Peppers (Mexican style)

If anyone wants links to recipes, I am happy to share.
