Meal Planning Monday! (08/25/14)

DreadGamerWife

So, what is for dinner this week?  Anyone else struggling to figure out quick and easy dinners (that don't require being on your feet a good bit)?

Sunday:  Roasted Chicken, Chicken Gravy, Corn, and Broccoli.

Monday:  Chicken Enchiladas (using left over chicken from Sunday).

Sunday: Grilled pork tenderloin (made 2 pounds and saved 1 for tomorrow) with mango relish; green beans and lentils on the side

Monday: Chicken Nicoise (using chicken tenders instead of seared tuna which I really would have loved but am too paranoid to risk it)

Tuesday: Pork sliders with mango slaw (using leftovers from yesterday)

Wednesday: Pecan crusted chicken with honey mustard potato salad

Thursday: Lentil kale salad (made double lentils yesterday so I don't have to cook them again)

Friday:  Leftovers or pizza

I've been sticking to my Sunday meal prep times and it helps so much with not being on my feet as much during the week for dinner nights.  I've started sitting down to prep/chop stuff, but still get pretty tired on Sundays.  At least it's only one day a week though!

DH is now obsessed with starting the P90X meal plan, so he grocery shopped & is in charge of cooking until he realizes he doesn't have time to cook dinners & lets me take over meal planning again. Don't worry, I'm adding carbs to my meals & won't be on a true "diet" during pregnancy.

I do a lot of cooking over the weekend so that we can have leftovers and easy meals on weeknights. This week my husband is making a giant pot of chicken soup, so we'll have that a few times. Plus leftover short ribs that I made last night and hot dogs.

I will play this week...

Monday: tacos (with a side of acid reflux)
Tuesday: kielbasa and pierogies & salad too @Talkativ15‌!!!!
Wednesday: garlic cheddar baked chicken over rice or salad
