What's for dinner?

sarenu1

We used to do this weekly, but stopped.

I need some fresh ideas for next week, so what has everyone been cooking this week?

I have a bunch of disparate leftovers that aren't enough to make a meal out of, so this afternoon I turned them into stir-fried noodles.

DH is on another one of his trips, so he left us with some gnocchi and tomato sauce for one night, and some lamb for another night ... I still have make side dishes, but the time-consuming parts of those meals are already done.

Last night I grilled sreaks, so since the grill was on, I also did hamburgers, chicken breasts, hot dogs, and smoked sausages, to use in things the rest of the week or freeze. 

@SecretAgentKate what are pizza waffles?

Monday was Steak. Last night was Teryaki Duck and Rice in the crock pot with Duck that was slaughtered Sunday. Tonight I have a whole chicken and pesto but I'm not quite sure how to combine them. Suggestions?  No idea for tomorrow night.  Friday I hope MH gets the ribs and some more duck in the smoker.  We are still mostly eating whatever we can find at night.  There is just not enough time by the time I get home to put something together.  Hunter is still not eating more than 7-9 ounces at daycare and is loading up when we get home by nursing all evening.

Smoked Gouda and broccoli crustless quiche. I made it while DS napped this morning so we can reheat easily tonight. Our hens have been laying up a storm and I needed to make some room in he fridge. The quiche smells amazing and I want to tear into it now!

Recipe please.

It's left over week.

Sunday was ham with mashed potatoes, carrots and home made Mac and cheese.

Monday was spaghetti.

Tuesday hamburgers and hotdogs.

Night will probably be ham again.

Here's our plan for awhile... but tonight we're getting Longhorn!

Bison Meatloaf with roasted broccoli and baked potatoes

Breakfast for dinner: Bacon, eggs, hashed browns and a dutch baby

Taco Bowls

Sauerkraut, Kilebasa and Mashed Potatoes

Grilled Chicken, broccoli again and macaroni and cheese

Fish and Chips

Pasta, Baguette and salad

Greek Pizza and Salad

All of these are really easy to make because while I love making food, I'm lazy.

@JP27‌ what is a dutch baby?

@linewifekat: it's like a pancake you make in a cast iron skillet in the oven. The mix is super easy (see link below). I usually top with blueberries or fruit and some lemon juice and powdered sugar.

Hmm.  Sunday we did a big Easter dinner, so ham, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, rolls, and jello.
Monday was leftovers
Tuesday was greek salad with rotisserie chicken
Tonight is date night - going out!
Thursday leftover greek salad and rotisserie chicken
Friday we need to use some ground turkey up - dairy free and gluten free ground turkey ideas anyone?  If not, it'll be tacos I'm sure.

bumpuser10179393

@JP27‌ that sounds amazing!

@TJ1979‌ What about cabbage rolls? I make mine in an Italian type tomato sauce. You make little meatballs then roll them in cabbage leaves and then bake in the tomato sauce. It's the only way my husband will eat cabbage. Some recipes I've seen has rice in the meatballs.

TJ1979

@linewifekat That sounds yummy, but is it difficult?  All the cabbage roll recipes I've seen seem quite labor intensive. Tomato sauce is a little iffy for me with the heartburn these days.  But that seems like something that definitely needs to be part of our repertoire post-baby.

When DH is out of town, my menu plan basically falls apart, so we often end up making a big meal and eating that about three times. 

This week I made roast beef for sandwiches on Sunday with sweet potato fries. We did that again on Monday. Yesterday was a tuna steak with tortellini and pesto. Tonight is roast beef sandwiches again. I have no idea what we're doing the rest of the week, but I'll probably make pizza on Friday. 

Try me again next week, my menu planning is actually usually pretty good

@TJ1979‌

It's not too hard. I just season my meat mixture and pull the leaves off and do a quick steam in the microwave with a wet paper towel then roll the meatballs with the leaves and put them in my enameled cast iron pot with a 28oz can of crushed tomatoes that I've seasoned. Then bake at 350° for 45 minutes.

I think I've convinced myself to make them tonight

TJ1979

@ellebeedub Roast beef sandwiches with sweet potato fries sounds amazing!  Beef is the only meat I have really cared for this pregnancy.  Mmmmm, beef.

TJ1979

@secretagentkate You are brilliant!  That sounds so delicious, and quite easy!  If only it were gluten and dairy free...

@linewifekat That doesn't sound too hard at all.  Now I want to try it!

Monday: chicken, mac, broccoli all together

Tuesday: Tuna cakes with English muffin bread and carrots

Wednesday: DH grilling tri-tip, mashed potatoes, green beans

ETA: fixing Thursday

We were finishing up a huge hero sandwich and ziti from Easter and M's birthday this weekend. . It's been both if those for the last five days. Ha

Going to steal pizza waffles, but I'll try using my pizza dough recipe for it.

ElleBeeDub

@TJ1979‌ I love them, but DH really just tolerates them. I try to cram as many of my favorites (that he doesn't like) in as I can while he's gone also, you still have PM

Sautee chicken, noodles, veggie

Whole baked chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy

Burritos

Hotdogs

Spaghetti (Both in regular noodles and veggie noodles)

Sloppy Joes

Whole Crockpot chicken, cauliflower mash, and "gravy" (it looks tasty)

Korean short ribs and cauliflower fried rice

Green chicken and coleslaw

Goodness, I have been thinking about making cabbage rolls for days, but I haven't sat down and reworked the recipe. Now that you guys have me thinking about it, I guess I am headed to the store. I have also been obsessed with mashed cauliflower recently.

Now that I'm not pregnant anymore I'm trying like hell to lose those last 15lbs to have a healthy pregnancy next go round. The challenge? Low carb vegetarian foods! I think tonight we are going to try something like this:

But what to go with it?

We are having flank steak nightly thanks to a trip to Costco. Tonight I will make baked sweet potato wedges with cinnamon (if I can find it) and coconut oil.
