Alright ladies, its been a while! What do you have planned this week? Are any new or your favorites and if so, whats the recipe???
I have:
Meatball Subs
Smoked sausage, mac & cheese, and a veggie
Crock pot cream of mushroom and beef tips, and peas (the secret is using a can of cream of mushroom and a can of golden mushroom!)
Tuna Helper and a veggie
Fish tacos (tilapia cooked with taco seasonings, topped with shredded purple cabbage, sour cream, green onions, and lime juice)
This discussion has been closed.
Re: NBR: Meal Planning Monday
Lemon pepper salmon steaks, sweet peas, frozen veggies of some sort sautéed in wok (my go-to)
Herb crusted turkey tenderloin in crock pot, garlic Parmesan roasted broccoli (subbing nutritional yeast flakes for parm), baked sweet potatoes
Shrimp stir fry (shrimp, broccoli, bell peppers, garlic, chicken broth, ginger, red pepper)
Lemon herb baked chicken, quinoa, wok veggies
As soon as I can get myself fully adjusted to being back to work, I want to join this thread.
I commute to work so after picking up from day care, am often not home til 5-5:30. Between nursing, night time routines, I really need to have things better planned for dinners. No more "winging it!" I used to be able to come home & then think.. "hmm what should I make for dinner?" & often have to nix things from possibility because I don't have this or that in the fridge to make them. I want to get into a better groove to have some meal planning done before I go grocery shopping for the week.
For the next month or 2 I still have DH at home, but when he goes back to work, I have to get myself together to handle it all alone, plus try to dedicate some time to get some sort of regular housework done each night so it isn't tying us down all weekend.
I'm still in the overwhelmed stage... I know it will all work out, but I jsut won't feel better until we find our groove. As much as I like & want DH's help while he is out, I kinda feel I need to try & still do it all by myself.

Tommorow family supper at my grandmas
Wednesday is Greek salad & marinated chicken breasts
Thursday is Caesar salad, steak, sweet potato
Weekends I don't plan too far ahead because we often get invited to either parents house
Married: 4/2/13
DS born 12/19/13
Tomorrow, thinking bourbon chicken on white sticky rice with a veg (peas?) on the side.
Not sure about the rest of the week. Would like to make a roast in the slow cooker with carrots, potatoes, onions etc one day.
Monday: ordered pizza. Yep, did that.
Tuesday: taco salad with avocado
Wednesday: pork chops with apples and onions (I cook the apple and onion first then the meat, same skillet)
Thursday: trying some chicken recipe I saw someone post at a previous time that involved chicken thighs and Dijon mustard and maple syrup ...
