Do you have a weekly meal plan? I feel like we are stuck in a rut here and could use some new ideas. The other board I was on would post these weekly. Is this something you ladies would be interested in?
I would. I try to plan 2-3 meals a week and they're usually slow cooker meals but I'm always open to new, uncomplicated meals. I'd love to plan more and try new things but my husband and son are very difficult, picky eaters and they'd eat the same thing every night if they could but I'm always up for new ideas in the hopes of converting them.
I would too. I usually make a couple big meals that we then eat throughout the week. I'm getting tired of my usual recipes so I would be interested in seeing what everyone else is doing.
I have seen a few WFD for the week posts around here, and I'm always interested because I have been making the same things foreverrrr. I need fast, easy recipes, try to do a few veggie dinners/less carby dinners that actually taste good, so while I'm always on the lookout, not much fits the bill for me.
I will try to post this then every Sunday! Here's my plan for the week (we are mostly gluten free because of DS but sometimes I'll make just a gf version for him). We also get a farm share each week.
Sunday- leftovers with salad Monday- homemade pizza (one gf one not) with fresh tomato sauce, peppers, Italian sausage, mozzarella cheese and a side salad Tuesday- quesadillas with cheese and black beans, side of corn salsa Wednesday- SO and I work late so gf chicken nuggets for DS with cucumbers Thursday- fresh tomato basil sauce (I masks this in the crock pot) with pasta and acorn squash Friday- hamburgers and corn
ditto @SandAndsSea I usually just toss veggie with evoo and salt and throw in the oven.
here's mine: s: lamb meatballs, asparagus m: back to school night so fried rice t: veggie cassoulet (this is a ridiculously easy dish and I love adding spinach to it) w: linguine with shrimp th: one pot Mexican quinoa f: pizza (we buy the pizza dough and make our own pizzas)
I don't bother with bread crumbs and finishing off in the oven, I stop after the carrots are cooked through and just add spinach and eat with crusty bread.
Re: Weekly meal plans
my read shelf:
Sunday- leftovers with salad
Monday- homemade pizza (one gf one not) with fresh tomato sauce, peppers, Italian sausage, mozzarella cheese and a side salad
Tuesday- quesadillas with cheese and black beans, side of corn salsa
Wednesday- SO and I work late so gf chicken nuggets for DS with cucumbers
Thursday- fresh tomato basil sauce (I masks this in the crock pot) with pasta and acorn squash
Friday- hamburgers and corn
Monday: Leftover crockpot beef over egg noodles
Tuesday: Pimento cheese-stuffed baked potatoes and salad
Wednesday: Rice a Roni beef flavor with hamburger mixed in (a childhood favorite of DH)
Thursday: Asian turkey thighs from the crockpot over rice
The last recipe is from one of these cookbooks and the recipes are all gluten-free. That's not why I bought them buy fyi.
This week is lame because we're going out of town on Friday and I don't want a bunch of leftovers in the fridge.
Sunday: White beans and ham in the crockpot
Monday: Leftover Pizza
Tuesday: Leftovers from Sunday (We have storytime at 6 so there's no time to cook)
Wednesday: Hamburgers and pasta salad
Thursday: Leftovers or breakfast for dinner
my read shelf:
Mon: Italian sausage sliders, roasted green beans
Tues: Summer Squash "bisque"
Wed: Chicken thighs with duxelles and oven roasted garlic potatoes
Thurs: Zucchini boats
Fri: Baked ziti
Sat: Salmon with sweet potato hash
It's heavy on squash and tomatoes because we got a ton in our farm share to use up
here's mine:
s: lamb meatballs, asparagus
m: back to school night so fried rice
t: veggie cassoulet (this is a ridiculously easy dish and I love adding spinach to it)
w: linguine with shrimp
th: one pot Mexican quinoa
f: pizza (we buy the pizza dough and make our own pizzas)
