We don't pick days for each meal but we have tacos, spaghetti, pork chops (with an apple chutney sort of thing) and mashed potatoes, gnocchi with vodka cream sauce, and we will deal with Friday on Friday.

I just wanted to AW in here that after 1.5 hours in the grocery store and 7 hours in the kitchen my bestie and I successfully made the months worth of freezer meals that I planned.

But who the frigg knows what's for dinner this week ?!? Guess I'll be copying you ladies

I don't know what we're having, but broccoli cheese soup and rice one night, and steak, bread, broccoli, and salad another night. Probably broccoli stirfry another night.

Can you tell I bought a big bag of broccoli from Costco?

Wow, you girls are organized.  I don't know what I'm eating for breakfast yet.  If I try and buy food for the week, dh and my almost 11 and 12 year old boys devour everything.  I'm at the market at least 3 times a week.

Have you ever had broccoli salad?  My MIL made it for me a few times and I love it.  It's sort has a coleslaw-type sauce/dressing but with bacon, shredded cheese, and onions.  I'm  fan!

Our plan goes Tues - Mon as I grocery shop on Tuesdays. We usually skip 3 days in there in case plans change - eating out or eating leftovers, usually.

The last few weeks have been a mess because we've had guests.

This week will look something like this:

Mon: Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, homemade naan

Tues: Roasted chicken with broccoli

Wed: Bing cherry pork chops with salad

Thurs: Italian wedding soup

Fri: Lettuce wrapped burgers

Sat: Lettuce wrapped beef tacos

I like broccoli salad too - good idea if I have more broccoli to use up! I normally add sunflower seeds, peas, and Craisins, and I leave out the onions because I have a pregnancy aversion to raw onions.

@southernyankeegirl‌, homemade naan - wow! I've made it before, but normally I buy it frozen because I'm lazy!

You guys are so awesome!

Sunday was tacos Dorados

Dinner tonight is:
https://damndelicious.net/2012/01/31/white-chicken-enchiladas-with-green-chile-sour-cream/

Tomorrow will probably be leftover Bean Soup and Wednesday is likely Nachos and/or hotdogs since we are going to our local High School's "Battle of the Bands" and will be buying from the snack bar...

That's all I got!

idontevenknow

Aww thanks, @saiven‌!! Scans found short femurs and shiny spot on the heart... which aren't indicative of Tri18, but Tri21. I refused Amnio and got the Mat21 test. Everything came back good (my SO has short legs, and the shiny spot has since gone away )

Thanks for thinkin' of me and LO.

stephaniestangl

Sunday meatballs and cheesy broccoli
Monday roasted whole chicken, carrots and potatoes
Tuesday grilled Italian sausage with peppers and onions

raveness

Sunday - leftovers from last week

Monday - Arroz con Pollo

Tuesday - Cheeseburgers (My house burgers topped with avocado, caramelized onions, and bacon)

Wednesday - Breakfast for dinner (eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, toast)

Thursday - Tuna Melts (for DH. I'll have leftovers. I hate hot tuna)

I usually go shopping on Saturday morning, but we'll probably still have leftovers unless I get a craving for something while out and about.

(sorry this is so late. I'm not with it this week, haven't been feeling well.)

All I know is that tonight I'm making lasagne.

In my home there is no such thing as left overs. My husband and son can eat. So I can never work with leftovers for a several meals during the week.
