What's For Dinner?

bacorrea

Hey Ladies! What's for dinner this week? 

So far I have:

M Lemon Butter Tilapia 
T Slow Cooker Pineapple Pulled Pork Tacos
W Skinny Chicken Parm 
R Pork Tenderloin with Pan Sauce 
F Probably Leftovers 

Jens_Hoes

M buffalo chicken quesadillas 
T spicy shrimp pasta 
W omelettes

and nothing after that because I'm flying to LA on Thursday    

ChristinaWild

Well, I'm adding buffalo chicken quesadillas to my plans, now. Thanks for that idea, @Jens_Hoes. We've got Tomato Basil soup for a few days (one batch can usually end up being at least 3 meals). I bought the makings for a shrimp stir fry, as well, I'm just not sure when that will actually get made (so lazy).

Similar to @ChristinaWild, my hubbs made a ginormous batch of chili (with ground turkey) yesterday, and that'll last awhile. So funny, @Jens_Hoes, I also bought a fresh pizza/bread dough this week, to make a buffalo chicken calzone. Can't wait! A stir-fry is a good idea <trying to think of what's in the freezer>...

Tonight is BBQ chicken with broccoli and sweet potato hash. 

That's as far as I've gotten, so hopefully you guys can inspire something in me before I hit up the grocery store this afternoon!

I need to step my game up.... Cooking is not my forte. I am a better baker. 

Tonight probably hamburger steak, roasted red potaties and green beans. 

We needed to go to the grocery store days ago

@swe2 - can I come over for dinner on Friday?!?! LOL. I love the ideas of cookies for dinner

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot

Alright ladies.  Some of you need to share some recipes.

@bacorrea What are your recipes for skinny chicken parm and pork tenderloin?

@Bailey8809 What is garlic chicken? And mini quesadillas to dip in soup is a great idea!

@SWE2 I need some HP cookies in my life.

There were several other things I wanted to ask about but they don't sound GD-compatible so I'll wait for now.  I also can't remember what we are having for dinner this week because I'm stuck at my desk and the list is on my fridge.

ETA: Looks like it's cauliflower soup and sandwiches tonight.  And then I need to go grocery shopping for the rest of the week.

@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot - It's a recipe I found on Pinterest - this will be my second time making it, it was really good...even 3yo approved!

All you ladies who have the whole week planned are amazing. I've never been a weekly meal planner. I'll usually have an idea or 1 or 2 things I'll make that I may need to buy groceries for, but otherwise I just wing the rest of the nights with what we have on hand. H also cooks 1-2 nights a week. I do have half a cabbage left, so I'll probably make a Satay Chicken Noodle Salad at some point this week.

@SWE2 Seriously, can I come over for HP cookies, too!?

Thanks for the recipes @Bailey8809 & @bacorrea!!

You guys have given me some great ideas for next week!

M- Mexican stuffed shells
T- Crockpot french dip, sweet potato fries and zucchini
W- One pot chicken thighs and dirty rice
F- Sausage and Peppers with grilled veggies

MrsCPALeslie

This week we will cook pork chops, chicken alfredo, country pork ribs, and probably spaghetti and meatballs. 

mrsrep123

Wow! A whole week of planned meals! Talk about life goals! 

Tonight we had veggie stir fry with brown rice. I work tomorrow so who knows...

I cannot wait until I am able to transfer to a "normal" hour position. I am currently 3:30p-12:00a which means dinner in a break room instead of with MH & DS. I just applied for a 10a-6:30p position so FX I get it (all based in seniority though 

Cubslove12

T- hubs is smoking ribs
W- Tilapia
R- hubs works, so leftovers
F- hopefully go out

Anylme else not fully over your original aversions? I still don't really want anything todo with meat, mainly chicken. It's making cooking hard.

SKZW

@Cubslove12: Yup. There are some foods that are still really unappealing, and smells, too, that are off-putting.

CherryBananas

@Cubslove12 I still can't bring myself to eat fish. I have some amazing cod filets in the freezer and every time I think of cooking them my stomach starts to turn

bacorrea

@Cubslove12 I haven't been able to eat eggs this pregnancy.

SparkySunDevil

M-fend for yo'self (we had a viewing for Grandpa right in the middle of dinner time)
T- chicken fettuccine 
W- slow cooker roast w/ mashed potatoes and homemade rolls (DH birthday dinner)


and thats as far as I got this week. 

inomniaparatus2

@Cubslove12 yes! I'm still not doing much meat and I don't ever eat it, but cabbage makes me sick.

W - Grilled wings, potato salad, veggie

You all are amazing! I've never been good at weekly menu planning, but I hope to start doing it once we move! I'm pretty lucky right now because we do live with my parents and my mom is home before I am so dinner is ready when H and I get home. Definitely going to miss that since I'm not much of a cook! Or should I say I don't like to cook haha I do cook a little more on the weekends though and contribute to buying the groceries, just not planning the meals all the time. Last night we had one of my favorite meals: cheese tortellini, chicken, and veggies with a simple EVOO and garlic sauce...I love it! I think there's some chicken tortellini in there too, but I prefer the cheese ones.
