meal planning

do we still have a check-in??  I can't keep track of anything anymore!

Also- looking for ideas- I need an "easy enough for DH to make with only one hand" kind of meal.  I will do the prep/chopping ahead, but he needs to be able to physically put a meal together/cook it/whatever because his constant whining that he can't do ANYthing around the house at all is really getting on my nerves!!!

    i haven't seen a check-in in a while. have you checked out the 5 ingredients or less cookbook? i almost bought it the other day while looking for new ideas. but i just posted my GF menu above. won't help you (or your DH) since its mostly from scratch items and to be honest some of the recipes are intimidating to me and i'm the main cook in the house.

    I haven't seen it.  I'm used to cooking from scratch with DS's used-to-be allergies, but yeah, I need a few things I can get ready a day or two ahead of time so that DH can basically finish them up in time for dinner.

    I think I've got it:

    tonight- penne with braised short ribs (we had a ton that came with the 1/2 cow we bought and I saw this on Giada this morning... figured I'd give it a shot)
    Monday- veggie stir fry
    Tuesday- cilantro-lime chicken thighs with roasted veggies (DH can cook this one if I do the marinade ahead, chop up the roasted veg- all he'll have to do is pop it in the oven)
    Wednesday- slow cooker tortellini soup (I'll get everything in the slow cooker, all DH will have to do is stir occasionally and add the tortellini and zucchini at the end)

    Thursday-Sunday- out of town :)

    I need help this week, too.  I know we're having black bean burgers one night, and mac-n-cheese w/ veggie another.  Then DH says he wants something with steamed broccoli another night.  Big help.

    LOL... well, at least he narrowed it down.
