WFD this week ladies?

FutureMrsWagner · April 2010

I always used to plan our weekly meals on Monday's, but I got out of the habit lately and I'm trying to start back. Makes the week so much easier if I already know what I'm cooking and get the grocery shopping out of the way. Please share yours so I'll have ideas for next week!

Last night we had family over so I made a big dinner:
Four Cheese Lasagna, Salad, Tuscan Bread w/dipping sauce, Procuitto Wrapped Asparagus and Melon, Antipasti platter w/Salami, Cured Olives, Artichoke Hearts

M: Chicken Divan, Mashed Potatoes
T: Spaghetti w/Meatballs
W: NY Strip Steak on the grill, Caprese, Roasted Potato Packets
TH: Tuscan Pasta w/Basil Cream & Garlic Toast

I usually don't cook on the weekends.

Can you share the recipe???

hamillm · April 2010

I will, but I do not have it at work...I tend to forget things so please remind me if you don't hear back

Last night we had grilled chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, and broc.

I know that we will be having BBQ one night and possibly pasta another.

Not sure what else..

One of my best friends has created this recipe site and it is great. She usually uses the sale ad from publix to help her w/ her weekly menus.

All I know is that we will have chicken tacos probably tonight. I do flour tortillas and hubby does chips. And I'll also be making spaghetti at some point this week as well. Looks like I'll probably be stealing ideas from you guys for the rest of it.

amandabrooke81 · April 2010

Monica, you posted 2 of my fave recipes of yours! That Chicken Divan & Tuscan Pasta are making my mouth water NOW

M- Baja Fish Tacos

T- Veggie Meal (in my feeble attempt to start eating healthy, I'm going to try this dinner twice a wk...I love veggies anyway)

W- Variation on Monica's Tuscan Pasta Recipe (will just use wheat spaghetti...don't have Bertolli on-hand)

H- Veggie Meal

F- Chicken Panang (Thai dish)

IRL, I'll probably switch up some of the nights contingent on weeknight plans.

kc0721 · April 2010

I love these kinds of post because I never plan out meals. I always feel like we have the same things for dinner hopefully these posts will give me some ideas.

sdkrlm · April 2010

M: Spaghetti & Meatballs

White Chicken Enchiladas,

Ravioli tossed in pesto

Broccoli Cheese Rice Chicken Casserole

star21gazer · April 2010

Seeing these posts makes me realize just how boring my cooking is...I need to try new things! I might steal some of these ideas for next week.

ricejl · April 2010

M: Ham and Spinach Casserole

T: Grilled Tilapia, rice and stuffed mushrooms

W: Left over Casserole

TH: BBQ Ckn with seasoned potatoes

Do you make the calzones from scratch? Can you share the recipe? Caleb's favorite thing to eat is pizza, so it would be nice to have a variation on that!

Also, for your chicken quesadillas, what type of chicken do you use? I mean, do you just shred up a rotisserie chkn or do you actually cook some breasts or something? There are so many things like that that I love to make w/chkn, but get so tired of cooking and shredding the chkn!

What kind of ham do you make? Caleb loves ham, but I never make it. Actually, we never even have it except for at Easter when my sis cooks an entire ham! Sad! Do you just buy some pre-cooked slices like Smithfield?

soon2Bmrs.AGEE · April 2010

I buy the ham steaks with the bone in the middle. It's over in the meat section. It's precooked so i just put it the oven for 20 mins or so. Really easy.

For the chicken, I usually cube it, season with fajita mix, and brown it with peppers/onions. I guess I should call them chicken fajita quesadillas. I hadn't thought of using a rotisserie, but I'd bet that would work great. I know what you mean, shredding, cubing, etc. gets so old, and we eat chicken a lot! I told DH that next time, I'm boiling all the chicken and then freezing them so all I have to do is thaw it and cut it up.

Here is my calzone recipe, really easy!:

1 can refrigerated pizza dough
1 lb Italian sausage (or hamburger meat)
1 pkg pepperonis
2 cups shredded cheese
Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter

Preheat oven to 375. Brown and drain sausage. Spray a rectangular baking sheet, and then roll out dough thin and flat. Layer the cheese, sausage and pepperoni on one half of dough, until desired amount. Fold the other half of the dough on top of the meat and cheese, and press edges together with a fork. Melt the butter and brush over the top of the calzone, then sprinkle parmesan cheese over it. Cook at 375 for 25 mins or until top is golden brown.

**This is what I do for DH and I to split, so I would just divide the dough up to make more, or up the recipe depending on how many I am cooking for **

My Baja Fish Tacos:

I took the cream sauce from a recipe on the Food Network

Cream Sauce:

1/3 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup Mexican crema** or sour cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

But I bake Tilapia (some people fry theirs)- spicy seasoned with chili pepper, red pepper, S&P, and a splash of lemon juice.

And I make soft tacos topping the fish with the cream sauce, shredded lettuce and then top with a tomatilla salsa. Yummy!

Sounds good and easy! Thanks! I bet they would be really good with some marinara sauce on top or for dipping in too!
