Meal Planning Monday

What's for dinner this week?

It's weird, this post is what gets me to actually think and plan my meals.  Otherwise...dinner gets kinda haphazard over here!

Monday:  Trader Joe's Orange Chicken and teriyaki stir fry veggies and rice.  Possibly swapping with Wed's meal, depending on naps.

Tuesday:   TBD.  I've gotta figure out Tuesdays going forward.  DH will be gone 9am to 9pm, so I need to figure out if (a) I'm going to try to cook something for the family and leave him leftovers, or (b) if he's going to need to fend for himself on Tuesdays. I'm leaning towards option b, I have enough trouble getting a real meal on the table when he's home.

Wednesday:  Quesadillas

Thursday: DD1's bday!  Making her fave, Chicken parm and spaghetti, followed by frozen yogurt at a make-your-own place

Friday:  Baked ziti from the freezer, garlic toast, salads.  Or steak if I can get DH to grill.

Saturday:  DD1's party!  Basic cookout, hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie pasta salad, chips & salsa.

Sunday:  Dinner with my parents

Perfect idea. Tuesday is now officially crock pot night.

Eh, we are going to chilis tonight. Not really sure what we'll eat the rest of the week.

@Kimbus22, we just transitioned Saturday's birthday party into an adult after party and got rid of all the leftovers that way! I swear I had people in my house for 13 hours straight, but at least my fridge is clean!

@CrashIntoMe1, I do love to cook, but I swear those meals aren't as fancy as they sound. Jasmine rice is just white rice that smells amazing. I dump it in a rice cooker with water- bam. Done. And I bought cubed pork and pre-cut pineapple. I just have to toss the pork with BBQ, shove it all on a skewer and send DH out to the grill. Easy peasy!

Life's been a little hectic...

Yesterday was GF spaghetti with meatballs my mom made and froze for us.

Tonight I'm on my own. So, probably a quesadilla.

Tomorrow, thurs, Friday, Saturday:

Steak and eggs, BBQ beef, GF pizza, grilling...

I have 3 frozen hash brown casseroles frozen. They're more like 2.5 meals for our family. I will probably whip one out tomorrow and use it for a few meals.

Because of my c section, I'm still feeling crappy. These meals are literally all (homemade) frozen.

Thanks! I'm trying!! Haha

DH has taken over just about all household duties. Between that and not getting laid, he's a little cranky.

The big boys are with my mom today, so I got a little break!
