Re: Meal planning Monday!
for dinner this week will be - turkey chili, pizza muffins, breakfast, and hopefully some Chipotle (mmmm!)
my favorite go to meal is definitely breakfast for dinner right now. so tasty and fast.
my LOs no fail foods? cheese sticks, fruit, and yogurt are always a hit.
What's for dinner this week? Well we have ground turkey out...still undecided on what we will make with it,
What's your favorite, easy, go to recipe? Pizza Balls
What's your LO's no fail food? Spaghetti!
My go to is always pasta with meat sauce
DS is on a hunger strike but he will always eat fruit and usually yogurt
What's for dinner this week? Casserole and potato soup, but mostly casserole. Funny story...I misread a recipe, used the whole box of macaroni, so then I had to double everything else and now have two casseroles (froze one). I also made potato soup and plan to alternate.
It's actually a really easy recipe, though not healthy - boil and cut up some chicken. Cook some noodles (I used shell macaroni). Add a can of cream of chicken soup and a cup of sour cream. Mix it all together and put it in the casserole dish. Top with shredded cheddar. Top with crushed Ritz crackers. Pour 1 stick melted butter over crackers. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. It's supposed to have poppy seeds on it, too, but I didn't have those. Yes, I know it's not healthy, but it's delicious. It's not DH's favorite, so I'm eating it while he's gone.
What's your favorite, easy, go to recipe? BBQ Beef Pocket
2 pkgs Crescent roll sheet (or just crescent rolls are ok, too)
1 lb ground beef
1/2 -1 cup BBQ sauce, depending on how much sauce you like
1/2 -1 cup shredded cheddar
Preheat over to whatever the temp on the crescent roll package says.
1. Brown beef - season how you like. The actual recipe calls for cooking it with chopped onions.
2. Drain off grease and return to low heat. Add BBQ sauce and stir until blended well. Cook about 10 minutes.
3. Roll out one pkg crescent rolls on a cookie sheet. (Pinch seams together if you're using the actual crescent rolls. The seamless sheets are really great for this recipe, but I can't always find them.) Pour beef mixture on top of sheet and spread to about 1 inch away from edges. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Unroll the other crescent roll sheet, lay on top of beef/cheese, then pinch edges together with the bottom sheet. Make a couple of slashes in the top.
4. Bake according to the crescent roll baking instructions - I want to say it's around 18 minutes at 425, but it's been awhile since I've made it.
I usually half the recipe, which makes four small servings.
What's your LO's no fail food? yogurt, or guh-GOO as he likes to call it.
It's one giant pocket - you just unroll the entire sheet of crescent rolls and smooth all the seams. (Or if you can find the seamless crescent roll sheet, that works perfectly.) When I do a half recipe, I put the meat on one half, then fold the other half over.
You could probably do individual ones, but I've never tried it.
ETA: So with the full recipe, one sheet is unrolled and used as the bottom, and the second is unrolled and used as the top. Basically, the pocket is the size of a large cookie sheet.
Tonight: chicken parm & spaghetti. I wish we had salad, but we're out
Tomorrow: Quesadillas, I think. Subject to change.
Wednesday: Chicken tenderloin, green beans, rice
Thursday: Cheesy pasta bake with spinach
Friday, Sat, TBD, Sunday dinner with parents.
My go-to lately has been chicken parm. I use frozen pre-breaded chicken strips and bake at 450 for 18 mins. Pull them out, throw on some sauce and mozz cheese, bake for another 5 minutes. While baking, I make a side of spaghetti to go with it and throw together a salad. It's quick and easy and everyone eats it!
DD's no fail food has always been turkey meatballs from Trader Joes. I don't blame her, they are good!
I bet you could hide some veggies in it!
Awesome thanks!
Tuesday: roasted butternut and carrot soup
Wednesday: something chicken
That is all I got so far...
Monday: chicken and rice casserole with peas and salads
Tuesday: taco Tuesday! And salads
Wednesday: it's my free night
Thursday: crockpot chicken, corn, broccoli casserole stuff
Friday: salmon, black rice or quenia and a veggie
Sat and sunday: I'm not entirely sure yet
Go to recipe: spinach squares
350 for 50 mins, let stand 10 to 15 out of the oven
2 packages frozen spinach, thawled and squeeze liquid out
8 oz small curd cottage cheese
6 oz shreaded cheddar
4 eggs
3 tsp flour, I've sub almond flour before and it worked fine.
Salt and pepper green onion garlic powder to taste
My kids will always eat fruit and string cheese!
