@ffrey1119 your menu made my mouth water!

Ffrey1119 · October 2013

Haha and it's all pretty much low fat except for the quesadillas, my family usually digs my menus

@sundae13 oh now I must have tomato soup and grilled cheese for lunch tomorrow. Mmmmm it's one of my faves and I forgot about it since I couldn't do tomato base during pregnancy.

ashleyamberRN · October 2013

Uhh you all make me feel like such a slacker. I work four 12 hour night shifts this week so this week might be kinda messed up but these are my plans and what I went grocery shopping for today, still not sure what days.
- slow cooker pot roast
- chicken pesto pasta
- turkey tacos
- grilled cheese and tomato soup

DH will have to fend for himself some nights when I take canned soup to work for my dinner

I wish I had the discipline to eat this healthy!

Tonight is Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings and Garlic Roasted Brussel Sprouts. Tomorrow is Chinese Pepper Steak with White Rice. Wednesday is Chicken Tacos with Spanish Rice. That's as far as I've planned this week.

I have 8 meals planned (until next payday!) So we pick and choose what to eat. It's not set days of the week.

Steak
Cajun chicken pasta
Chili
Caprese chicken
Sloppy joes
Tuna hot dish
One pot pasta
Pot roast

All with various sides such as salad, sweet potatoes, asparagus, green beans, corn, French fries, chips, etc.

ETA: I heart Pinterest. I get so many recipes and meal plans from there. I make time to look at my pins and go from there.

How do you girls have time to cook a nice meal?? I feel like an asshe when I read these as we are lucky to get a full fibber much less one with veggies!

I don't know about others here...I may have a full week menu planned but I've only been about 60% successful in actually making them. We are still ordering out way more than we should.

RK125 · October 2013

I really need to start a weekly dinner menu. With being back to work now, I think it'll be easier than trying to come up with an idea.

Recently I've been really "anal" with everything. There can't e DS's toys on the floor, I HAVE to do the dishes.. Basically I've just turned into a neat freak. Same goes for dinner. If I plan something out I HAVE to do it. Ill put a show on for DS and I will have LO on her chair on the counter or maybe DH is home and I'll start cooking. I love to cook, it's sometime I get to myself anyways

I mainly cook so my dd has a dinner we never had dinners growing up so that's one thing I want for my daughter, I hate seeing children go hungry because thier mom was to busy watching tv. Plus we need to save money so grocery shopping on a budget helps

janneann1127 · October 2013

Not sure what we will have each day, but planning:
Tomato-salmon over brown rice with Brussels sprouts
Chicken enchiladas
Chicken tortilla soup
BBQ pork chops with Mediterranean couscous and sautéed green beans
Steaks with leftover couscous and some veggie
Pork tacos with onions & peppers

I am still on leave, so I do all my prep work during nap time or calm time, as I call it. If she's happy in her swing or sleeping, I take that opportunity to go chop, measure, or if I'm using the crock pot, throw everything in.

That way, when DH comes home or she goes down for another nap later in the evening I can finish the process fairly quickly.

I don't know what I'll do when I go back to work. :-(

BelhurstBride · October 2013

Monday: tacos with garlicy baby kale

Tuesday: spider web pizzas with raw veggies

Wednesday: eating at DH's grandparent's

Search pinterest for it. You take grands bisquits and stuff them with a ground beef, shredded cheese, onion mixture. Looked good.

MynaBird · October 2013

We prepped a bunch of slow cooker freezer meals over the weekend, mostly from these two links:

https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/09/slow-cooker-freezer-meals-make-8-meals.html

https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2013/02/10-slow-cooker-freezer-meals-in-less.html

Most of these are first-timers for us, but we've made the black bean taco soup from the first link, and it's really good. We did a bunch of pre-prepped slow cooker freezer meals before the baby was born, and it's been really nice to be able to just defrost a plastic bag and toss it in the Crock Pot. Plus, the prep is great: I sit on the couch and read ingredients off the iPad, and he stands in the kitchen and puts the ingredients in the bags. It's gotten even better now that I can have a couple of glasses of wine while we "cook."

Coconuthead · October 2013

I know its late in the game but I just solidified mine when my partner brought home an enormous 4 lb package of ground beef.

Monday: bacon cheeseburgers with homemade potato salad (family was visiting)
Tuesday: sloppy joes with the leftover hamburger buns and garlic broccoli ( and it was yummy)
Wednesday: murgh makhani with brown rice
Thursday: meatloaf and smashed cauliflower
Friday: pizza night
Saturday: Tofu with peanut sauce and brown rice
Sunday: minestrone with whole wheat french bread
