[NewGirlNic]

H was out of town Sat-Sun, so I spent some time organizing the pantry and cleaning out the fridge and freezer. Then I made a meal plan and did a good grocery run and Aldi pickup. 

S: We had roasted pork loin with a shallot cider pan sauce, roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts and stuffing (just stovetop, which was so good, LOL)
M: chicken tenders, breaded and pan fried with assorted dipping sauces and a big salad
T: I'm meeting a girlfriend for dinner, so the boys are on their own. They'll either eat leftovers or get takeout
W: lasagna soup with homemade garlic knots
Th: fried rice with leftover pork roast, broccoli 
F: Detroit style pizza with chicken wings in the air fryer, raw veggies and dip
S: TBD. Either out or takeout probably

Sat: Leftover Persian food for me (from my birthday dinner), and my H had hotdogs

Sun: Homemade lasagna, pulled from the freezer

Mon: Cheesy hamburger soup (this makes a ton, and we'll freeze more than half of it for later)

Tue: Steak, baked potatoes, broccoli

Wed: Leftover lasagna

Depending on our potato supply, I might be able to sneak in a pork roast and mashed potatoes (with a side of butternut squash in browned butter), and a shepherd's pie before having to go to the grocery store again. But the hamburger soup takes a lot of potatoes, and I only bought 5lbs last time because of Safeway "just for U" coupon.

The chili is going to be lunch for everyone at least one day this week too. I also roasted a random bag of brussels that I forgot about and a cute little honeynut squash, will use those in salads or something for lunches too.

[RoxMonster]

Sunday: Homemade minestrone soup with cheddar bay biscuits (biscuits from the freezer section)

[186momx]

Sun-tilapia, rice, veggies
Mon-shepard pie from Costco
Tue-Pork stew with sweet potato

I'll probably eat leftovers Tuesday as that meal only feeds DH and DD. I bet DD will eat leftovers on Thursday as she wasn't a fan of the Irish Stew.

I was sick all last week while DD was on school break so I'm just now getting back into regular meal mode.

Mon: Grilled Herb Chicken, Tortellini with Lemon Cream Sauce, Zucchini, Breadsticks

Have to figure out the rest of the work week. I’m going to make a new chili recipe Friday and Saturday is Nobu for a friend’s bday dinner.

Oh, Thursday is Saints game so we will probably eat something there, they sell little caeser’s pizza and it’s SO good! 😅

Do you have a recipe for this?

Here you go:
premeditatedleftovers.com/recipes-cooking-tips/jalapeno-popper-chicken-casserole-recipe/

Also, I just realized that in the years I've been making it, I've never added the 1/2 cup milk. LOL! 

I use one small can of diced jalapenos (because lazy) instead of the fresh, and I divide this recipe up into 2 8x8 pans, and freeze the second one, which is perfect for the 2 of us. Top it with a sprinkling of panko and some dried jalapenos (from Trader Joe's in the can) for an extra bit of crunch (I do this instead of topping with fresh jalapenos and green onion).
