What's for dinner?

I need some ideas for this week.  DS2 is a great sleeper only getting up a couple of times a night but DS1 is getting up once as well right in between DS2 getting up.  It's finally catching up and I can't bear to think about what to cook for dinner this week.  Help a tired girl out.

Re: What's for dinner?

  • Tonight is California BLTs (just add avocado) and garlic/parmesan fries.

    Tues: Cleokitty's sticky chicken and collard greens

    Weds: Chicken salad with leftovers and probably just chips/pretzels/etc.

    Thur: Lobster on the grill and artichoke gratinata

    Fri: Pizza

  • Loading the player...
  • Black beans and rice w/shredded cheese, avocado and salsa.

    Other things I tenatively have planned for week and a half or so:

    Grilled mahi mahi w/mango salsa and rice

    Beef brisket w/mashed potatoes and a salad

    BBQ sandwiches (leftover brisket shredded + BBQ sauce), baked sweet potatoes, green beans

    Frozen pizza and a salad

    Lemon chicken and broccoli

    Some kind of stir-fry with random veggies and a little bit of meat w/rice

  • Tonight, lemon and rosemary chicken breasts (a variation of https://fortheloveofcooking-recipes.blogspot.com/2009/05/lemon-and-basil-chicken-breasts.html just using rosemary instead of basil) and mashed potatoes.

    Tomorrow, grilled pork if it's nice enough to grill outside. Either steamed broccoli or roasted asparagus on the side. If it's not nice enough to grill, we'll make tonkatsu out of the pork.

    Wednesday, probably slow cooker bbq chicken, again with either broccoli or asparagus (whatever we don't use the night before) and rice.

    Beyond that I'm not sure, honestly. Probably leftovers one night and soup another night (I've been on a tomato soup kick lately).

  • Tonight: Sloppy Joes with corn on the cob and baked beans w/chips

    Tomorrow: Chicken Alfredo (homemade sauce) and green beans

    Wednesday: We go over my mom's for dinner (I think she is having Chop Suey).

    Thursday: Taco Salad

    Friday: No idea

    I wish DS2 would sleep longer than he does. I'm lucky to get a 3 hour stretch out of him and then we have nights like last night that he was up every 1.5 hours and then up between 3-4 (not going back to sleep for that entire hour). I'm beat too!

  • Tonight- yellow curry over jasmine rice with a side of roasted broccoli spears

    tomorrow- turkey bean chili with grilled cheese sandwiches

    weds- moe's

    thurs- ham and veggie frittata with a salad

  • imageminnasmommy:

    Yum, this sounds delish! What's in the mango-avocado salad?

  • Monday:  Enchiladas

    Tuesday:  Meatloaf

    Wednesday:  Spaghetti w/ turkey meatballs

    That's as far as I've gotten

     

  • I don't meal plan, but here is what we ate the last 2 days:

    Sunday - grilled salmon, basmati rice medley and steamed broccoli

    Monday - whole grain pasta, marinara, grilled shrimp and eggplant

  • Tonight: frittata w/side salad

    Tues: roasted chix breast w/roasted broccoli and cauliflower

    Wed: chix salad

    Thurs: tacos

    Fri: making DH think of and cook something

  • Tonight is easy ranch chicken in the crockpot with egg noodles and either brussel sprouts or corn & peas.

    • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
    • 8 oz sour cream
    • 1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch powdered dressing mix
    • 1/4 cup white wine
    • chicken breasts

     

    Place chicken breasts in crock pot.  Mix remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4 hours.  I put some of the sauce over the noodles and the chicken.
