WFD?

veggiemo

Can we do a WFD post today? My husband works late tonight so it's just me and my little dude. I need some inspiration on what to make!

jjbdvm

Sure! These are my favorite posts!

For lunch: I'm thinking Taco Bell or Mcdonalds cheeseburgers and white cake for dessert

For dinner: Spaghetti with ground beef and yellow oreo cookies for dessert

Fried chicken cutlets, mashed potatoes and corn!

mrscampos4life

I have ground beef and veggies. Some type of pasta/veggies it'll be.

I have a leftover chicken breast and mashed potatoes for lunch from last night.

Tonight will probably be pork chops, black eyed peas and broccoli. 

The hubs works at Amazon and the 60 hour week holiday OT has started. Neither one of us is in the mood to cook these days, but I've been taking one for the team this week and cooking and cleaning up. I may be KU, but he's working on his feet 11 hours a day right now. He wins the pity party. For now. So it's easy to fix stuff for us for now.

Homemade pizza! I am very excited for melty cheesy goodness.

Yikes, that sounds like a really tough job during the holidays! Nice of you to try and keep his belly full of good food though

We made Chicago-style stuffed on Sunday night. Oh man, it was sooo good.

We are having a chicken marsala crock pot meal. DH put it together so I didn't have to do anything...it's so nice.

Lunch: Leftover sausage pasts from last night, recipe here: https://www.budgetbytes.com/2013/01/creamy-spinach-sausage-pasta/

Tonight: Chicken Fried Rice.  I make shredded chicken in the crock pot every six weeks or so, and then freeze it in 2 cup packages.  It makes dinners super easy. I'll use some for fried rice tonight, and then probably make chicken enchiladas next week.  I can get about 4-5, 2-cup packages out of one crock pot full of frozen chicken. Instructions here: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/slow-cooker-chicken-recipe/

This is my fried rice recipe (I double it so we have some leftovers).  https://allrecipes.com/recipe/chinese-chicken-fried-rice-ii/

It's just me, DH and DS12, both of them can eat TONS of food and remain tall and skinny.  So it's always a challenge to find man pleasing foods with protein and veggies that I can make in large quantities so they have leftovers to take in their lunches. I included links, because I'm always looking for new recipes and thought it might be helpful for some of you :-)

@maplebaby‌ Thanks! Looking forward to trying this

Hubby made a Broccoli, Chicken quiche Monday night, We still have SO MUCH LEFTOVERS so that is probably going to be part of my dinner tonight..

IsadoraB

Potatoes O'Brian!
(Pan fried potatoes, onions, and bell peppers mixed with chopped bacon and covered in cheese. It's a comfort food kind of night!)

Still up in the air.

Our favorite local bar/brewpub/restaurant does their Keep the Glass night tonight, where they bring in local breweries and tap a bunch of their beers and give you a free glass from the brewery.  We usually go when they do that, the place has a kid's area with toys, coloring books, and a chalkboard wall to keep the littles entertained, and the food is amazing.  Usually DH and I split the poutine - french fries covered in gravy, parmsean, and house made sausages.  They also make a fantastic root beer which I've been drinking instead of the beer this pregnancy.

But, we're hemorrhaging money this month between vacations, birthdays, and the upcoming holidays, so we might not eat out tonight since we'll be eating out all weekend on vacation anyway.  In which case we will be having black bean quesadillas and sweet potato fries.

If I get my way, it will be Chinese take out.

for lunch: veggie burger with fresh fruit. snack: cashews and cheese.  dinner: thai shrimp w/ veggies and rice

Kdanae88

Tacos and taco salads tonight! Quick and easy.

veggiemo

Some great ideas here! I love food posts. I think I have a minor obsession.

Emilywooddesign

Shepards pie that I've already made so I just have to crisp up the potato in the oven. I have a lot of very good kiwi so I will probably eat that with some lime zest and honey because I still can't do vegetables

jbartsy

Leftover middle eastern food: deboned chicken and rice pilaf.. with lots of garlic. I'm so happy that I like chicken again.

Elley1486

maplebaby - That sounds like a great idea! Thanks for the recipe links!

IsadoraB - I have never heard of this but it sounds freaking amazing right now.

Edited to add my WFD: The answer is, I don't know. We got roped into letting our new neighbors dogs out to go to the bathroom and feeding them when they go on a vacation starting on Friday. We don't really know these people but we have two dogs and know how hard it can be so we agreed. They cornered us last night and said they are making dinner for us so we can come over and meet the dogs and eat with them. I tried to get out of it but they would not take no for answer. So yea...we shall see. FX that they have something amazing and not something I can't stomach or that wrecks my guts.

BBQ chicken, wild rice, and green beans. Yum! Still haven't had lunch so I might do the veggie burger a pp mentioned.

ALL I want to eat these days is sweet and sour chicken. I'm trying really hard to limit it to 2x per week so that I don't start gaining weight like crazy. I'm in a wedding in Sept and my goal is to gain no more than 20lbs tops so I fit into my dress by then. If I keep housing full size sweet and sours by myself, I'll be a giant by June!!! That being said, I think tonight will be my 2nd night to have it this week lol

We just moved to a new city and there is not a decent take out place ANYWHERE nearby. I could cry. Sweet and sour chicken sounds divinnneeee.

Thai chicken crunch wraps- so delicious. Hopefully I can get through cooking the chicken without yaking lol

atj13ne

Slow cooker pulled pork sandwiches, not sure on sides yet....hmmm...

SabrinaM02

Thanks for the yummy ideas! I really want Chinese (chicken fried rice) but our local Chinese restaurant is closed on Tuesdays. Spaghetti it is!!

erbear84

I had a cinnamon crunch bagel and fruit cup from Panera and then I just had some leftover nachos.  I've been nauseous all afternoon so I was hoping food would help!

I COOKED!! DH is in shock and my kids just ate boatloads of it. I managed to cook without vomiting. This is a major event in my life.

KJKNAJ

Ha, I was so excited to share that that I forgot to include WHAT I actually cooked: spinach ground turkey lasagna.

I called my mummy and she's invited me over for dinner.. yipee!
