Thursday- meat lasagna
Friday- teriyaki ground chicken rice and broccoli
Saturday- pork tenderloin with carrots and mashed

[momin2013]

Oh man, I’m in rough shape for dinners this week:

Sun: Tahcheen (Persian - rice layered with chicken cooked w onions/yogurt-egg saffron mixture), all baked in a big pot then flipped over. It’s good, trust me.

Mon: spaghetti w Caesar salad

Tue: I got nothin’ (DH might be OOT)
Wed I got nothin’
Thu: I got nothin’

Fri: my parents are coming for the weekend, and they’re picking up homemade cabbage rolls and perogies from the Ukrainian church on their way here, so my mouth is obviously already watering for that.

Sat: Thanksgiving dinner (made by me)!

[sproctopus]

Meatball subs
A yellow curry (TJs sauce) with onions, red peppers, sweet potatoes & chicken thighs
Tacos

[macmars45]

Tonight: vegetarian hash brown breakfast casserole
Monday: cheddar-mozz fondue board
Tuesday: vegan thai ginger curry
Wednesday: spaghetti with meatballs
Thursday: meatless sloppy joes
Friday: honey garlic meatballs

Saturday: pizza

ETA: tonight's uncooked casserole fell upside down in the hot oven as I was putting it in to cook. As it's almost 6pm and the oven/stove are unusable due to the hot messy oven, it's taco bell tonight.

Dinner:

T: hot roast beef sandwiches, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots
W: pork chops with salsa verde and black beans over rice
Th: butternut squash bisque and biscuits

Do you have a recipe for the buffalo chicken stuffed peppers?  I often buy a batch of stuffed peppers from our local grocery store to eat one a day for lunch for myself (no one else in my family likes them), but I'd like to cut back on red meat and that sounds interesting.

All I have so far is that we're doing chicken Parm tomorrow night.  Tomorrow is grocery store day, so I'll see what else looks appealing when I'm there.

Lunches in no particular order:
Good dairy cheese from a local farm stand + good crackers
English muffins w/cheese
Veggie burgers
PBJ

Dinner:
Sunday: Burrito (No job=kid's tofu burrito. You still get the same size bag of chips + a kid's drink + cookie for $7)
Monday: Veggie burgers, side, whatever canned veggie looks good
Tuesday: Soup+grilled cheese
Wed.: Veggie burgers, not sure, vegetable
Thursday: Maybe out with a friend?
Friday/Sat.: Something at home

[1confused1]

Eating out of the freezer.

In no particular order:
Taquitos
Spaghetti and meatballs
Shrimp fried rice

We are out of town Thursday and Friday.

[dcn]

Sunday: baked ziti
Monday: orange chicken w rice and broccoli
Tuesday: tacos
Wednesday: salmon and cous cous salad
Thursday: leftovers or brinner

[sofamonkey]

Idk. I have too much food in the cupboard and freezer. I need to inventory it and poke away at using it up. It’s getting cooler here, so maybe soups, sheet pan meals, and crockpot options.

[mrsukyankee]

My M & W breakfast - Greek yogurt with half scoop protein powder and a mix of various seeds, nuts, etc.

Dinners - not very organised as my H is going to a variety of events
Sunday:We had pan seared sea bass fillets with a citrus pesto, a mix of tomato, roast eggplant and various other things, and smooshed potatoes
Monday: chickpea curry and rice
Tuesday: tofu chicken dish from the vegan cookbook I just got plus veg
Wed: probably take out
Thur: leftovers
Fri: go out for dinner date with H

[lavenderblue]

I don't typically eat breakfast, I'm just not a morning eater. If I do get hungry though it's usually just something simple like oatmeal. I do have a protein coffee in the morning that gets me 30g of protein right from the get-go. Lunches are usually leftovers, lunchmeat sandwiches, or salads. 

S: Pumpkin Crab Soup
M: NY Strip, roasted potatoes, some sort of veggie
T: Chicken Alfredo
W: I can't remember*
Th: something with the catfish I have
F: Pulled Pork Sandwiches
S: Beef roast with potatoes, corn, carrots

*I'll have to come back and edit this later. I knew I should've taken a picture of my menu board, I had a feeling I was going to forget something when I saw this week's post.

[candreco]

Sun: out for Greek after DS's soccer game
Mon: roasted salmon, rice, green beans, w/ some lemon-galic yogurt sauce I need to use up
Tues: TJ's hatch chile mac n cheese, chicken nuggets, broccoli
Wed: slow cooker beef stew, maybe peasant bread if I get a chance during the day
Thurs: picking up whatever quick takeout the kids want, I have a late in-person meeting and the cleaners should be coming so no cooking
Fri/Sat: no idea yet

Beyond the usual sandwiches/homemade lunchables, we had half a package of tortellini leftover from a dinner last week that I cooked and mixed with the last of the fresh pesto we bought last weekend that's lunch for DD and I for a couple of days, and I'll use the little bit of Greek leftovers for a salad one day. DD baked some muffins on Saturday that'll be breakfast for a few days.

[shauni27]

[lavenderblue]

shauni27, would you mind sharing your recipe for the Chicken Picatta Meatballs? Also, what do you serve them with. I'm intrigued

I mostly followed this recipe: pin.it/39yiXaXg3

She listed parm cheese in one photo but not in the directions at all so I added parm to the meatballs, chopped capers and breadcrumbs.

I served with orzo and mixed in sautéed kale. I liked it enough that I ate it all, it’s just not my favorite flavor. But my husband loves picatta so I make it mostly for him. I declared I liked this better than traditional.

Thank you! I love Chicken Picatta but I'm way too lazy to make it LOL

this is more labor intensive than my traditional picatta, to be honest.

I rushed in to Costco last night and grabbed an alfredo chicken bake in the pre-made fridge. Surprisingly, the kids ate it! we have enough for leftovers tonight, at least.

Wednesday: I think we'll do picadillo in the crock pot over rice
Thursday: leftovers
Fri: leave for vacation

[midwestmama]

Monday: DD's choice (within the realm of "normal/easy dinners), likely will be spaghetti
