The only thing i know I'll be cooking is mexican chicken stew.  That will probably be happening tomorrow.  DH has got the rest of the week because he stays home.  

Actually he has to work on wednesday so that will probably be taco pasta night for me and DS.  Or annies mac and cheese, we'll see how I feel.

Here's the pork recipe. I haven't made it before so not sure how it'll turn out but hopefully good!

I'll have to type the linguine recipe since I copied that one out of a book. I'll post that later this afternoon.

talkthewholetime

It's just me and DD for dinner this week, so I'm going to rock leftovers/random stuff/take out a couple days for sure .

Besides the lasagna I made last night, the only things I'm actually making are:
-One Pot Cheeseburger Skillet (thanks for the recommendation @spacepotatoes )
-Crazy Breakfast (basically an omlet with homefries already in it)

spacepotatoes

Oh, quick note. For the Knorr recipes, I usually double the packages. One doesn't make enough. Or I make my own version of the side since they're not always the most healthy. But they can be convenient!

ShallowSeas

This is what we have planned, although things my change based on how I'm feeling

Tonight: vegetable fajitas with Spanish rice (although I'm really craving some pizza so we may be ordering that)
Tuesday: Bertoli Chicken Florentine and Farfalle and garlic bread
Wednesday- Breaded chicken and mashed potatoes
Thursday - Lasagna and garlic knots
Friday - Date night. We go out to eat...not sure where we're going this week
Saturday - Probably a salad and some french bread.

All of your responses are making me realize how boring my husband and I really are. He is really trying to lose some weight and get healthy before the baby arrives so he likes to have a big salad as most of his meal. Every night. I am vegetarian, he is not. He puts grilled chicken on his, I put avocado, hard boiled egg, seeds and nuts on mine. I make vegetarian meals that reheat well to split into small portions to have for two, three or even four nights along with the salad. This is what our week looks like:

Monday - leftover vegetarian hoppin john, salad

Tuesday-Friday - veggie/bean soup, salad

Saturday - we have plans and will eat out

We are vegetarian also :-) I have been craving fajitas and may make that tonight (leftovers for lunch tomorrow). Also will probably make a pasta at some point, and possibly a pizza/flatbread or a noodle dish.

KilgraveMadeMeDoIt

Husband's cooking tonight since I have clinical skills. Probably fajitas or spaghetti. Tomorrow I think I'm going to make salmon with chive sauce. Wednesday, it depends. If I get good news, I'm going to make one hell of a meal to celebrate, probably tournedos flambés (sounds far more impressive than it is, but it's a favourite) and asparagus and the whole shebang. If I get bad news, we're having poutine because it's comfort food and I probably won't feel like cooking.

Monday: spaghetti & meatballs
Tuesday: taco night! probably shredded green chile chicken + black beans this week
Wednesday: French Dip sandwiches
Thursday: Asian BBQ Boneless Wings
Friday: burgers & sweet potato fries
Saturday: probably homemade pizza

spacepotatoes

@evilgreencows5 what are porcupines?

evilgreencows5

It's a rice and beef skillet. It's pretty good and easy. https://www.thirtyhandmadedays.com/2013/10/dinner-ideas-porcupines-skillet/

I cook in batches on Sundays for the upcoming week and just choose whichever for my meals that day. Cooking in batches works better for me as I have no motivation to cook during the week. Here's this weeks menu:

Breakfast -Protein Shakes/Smoothies and/or Oatmeal

Lunches/Dinners -
Garlic Chicken and Veggies Pasta
Baked Chicken with Green Beans, Turnip Greens and Cumin Sweet Potato Fries 
Chicken, Mushroom and Brown Rice Casserole (light on the rice, with Purple Hull Peas and lots of cooked Broccoli Greens mixed in)

Snacks -Chopped Veggies with Hummus, Cuties, Multi-grain Crackers and Kashi Honey Almond Flax Granola Bars

Ok, here's the linguine recipe. This one is also new for me but I have made a similar one before with shrimp and it was really good. I plan to go heavier on the garlic because otherwise, it's not much of a garlic sauce!

Linguini With Garlic Cream Sauce
12 oz linguine
1/2 lb bacon
5 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1-1/4 cup milk
8 oz package cream cheese, cubed
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

- cook pasta according to package directons
- cook bacon over medium heat until crisp and remove to paper towel to drain, reserving 1 tbsp drippings
- in drippings, saute spinach, onion, and garlic until tender
- add milk, cream cheese, butter, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
- stir in pine nuts and bacon. Heat through.
- toss pasta with sauce.

I'm vegetarian too! Ovo-lacto, though I don't eat much eggs or drink much milk because they make me gassy  However I am ALL ABOUT cheese and yogurt! And butter.

I don't plan things out in advance typically, though it might be good to start doing that looking down the road at life with a child.

I made an amazing West African style stew yesterday with onion, garbanzo beans, kale, tomato paste, peanut butter, and veggie broth (it's SO GOOD). I'm probably going to have some falafel (frozen from TJ's) with beet-feta salad for dinner tonight, perhaps with a glass of kefir to get in a little more protein!

Tomorrow is probably tofu with veggies and sauce

We just got a dog over the weekend so my meal planning for this week has not been good.

Monday - Chili/Chili dogs
Tuesday - Leftovers (we have tacos, chili, stuffed peppers, corned beef and cabbage)
Wednesday - ?
Thursday - ?
Friday - ?
Saturday - ?
Sunday - Ham and cheesy potatoes with asparagus.

I have a lot of meat in the freezer so I will just have to look and pull something out tonight for tomorrow. Maybe I will make something with shrimp or cod.

NatashaSprout

mrs_hoyahoo

DH took over the meal plan for the week. 
White chicken chili tonight
Then in no particular order: 
stir-fry
lemon pepper tilapia 
baked chicken with broccoli and couscous 
and probably going out one night this week. We'll see. 

virginiaham

I love the BFD idea, @carlatron!  What meals do you usually do for that?

We have a pretty regular rotating menu which involves homemade low-calorie bulk and then high-calorie sides for me to add on to my portion.

This week:
M:  Roasted butternut squash soup, side of avocado slices and cous cous
T:  Bacon potato soup (broth-based)
W:  Our take on Italian caponata with caprese salad
Th:  Roasted spaghetti squash with sautéed onion and bell peppers
F:  Snack night!  We make a meal out of Ritz and Merlot cheese, caprese salad, and random other easy sides.
Sa:  Naan pizza night

eta squash not sauce

I think I'm going to make a shrimp linguini tonight.
