I figured I'd start the thread. What's on your weekly meal plan for this week? Bonus question: what do you typically bring for lunch if you brown bag it? (always looking for ideas...)

I figured I'd start the thread. What's on your weekly meal plan for this week?
Sunday-homemade pizza
Monday-I try to keep it meatless-Veggie Pasta Skillet with some garden vegetables
Tuesday-leftover pizza
Wednesday-Mexican Chx Casserole
Thursday-Quiche with bacon and more garden veggies
Friday-if I'm up to it I'll throw something in the crockpot or we'll do takeout.
Saturday-usually we grab food out or grill out

Bonus question: what do you typically bring for lunch if you brown bag it? (always looking for ideas...)
I bought a cheap plastic version of a Bento box, so I've been filling it with randoms(salads, hard-boiled egg, hummus, sometimes sandwiches). Typically I do a morning snack, a light lunch(my recess/lunch time is 11:05) and then a snack after the kiddos leave with some protein to keep my going until dinner. I feel like my lunch bag is filled to the brim daily.

Re the bonus question. I just bring left overs fr either dinner or bkfast. DH likes to have big breakfasts and as asians we are big on rice for bkfast. So i bring along extra fried rice with sausage and egg -- i know oily. Sorry. Haha. Sometimes we have cornedbeef over white rice. Spanish omelette and toast. Or sauteed tuna or spanish tomato sardines with toast or muffins. Meatloaf and fried rice is a breakfast-slash-packed lunch for me too.
For snacks i bring along two kinds of fruits like pineapple, grapes, mangoes, pomelo, apple, banana or the like. Boiled egg, cheese and crackers. I also bring w me a bite size chocolate for when i get sleepy.
Sorry got too long. Hth

I generally buy 4 nights worth of meals but don't plan them for a particular day because my appetite/food aversions still change daily. So here is what are the meals for the week...

-Turkey meatball, three-bean soup, dijon dumpling soup (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/danny-boome/three-bean-soup-with-turkey-meatballs-and-dijon-mustard-dumplings-recipe.html)

-Left over Chicken Fijitas from this weekend (probably Monday)

-Spaghetti and Italian sausage with green salad

-Falafel burghers with green salad

Bonus: Lunches have changed a lot since I've become pregnant because I used to have a sandwich almost everyday, but no more turkey lunch meat for me. I do a mix of soups, left-overs, cheese and crackers, daily fruit of some kind, and the occasional PB & J.

-beef stroganoff, salad and corn
-spaghetti and homemade meatballs, salad and bread
-pizza (always on Fridays)

GracefulStar · September 2014

Today I made chicken nachos. Monday and Tues I'm aiming for eggplant parm. I don't have it planned after that but I have pork chops probably with corn and another veggie later in the week. Potato soup and salad another day. For lunch I take leftovers. I was doing veggie hummus wraps for a while but got tired of them. I miss cold cuts!

BookitBoo · September 2014

Sunday Sept 7
Leftovers

Monday Sept 8
Crockpot chicken and dumplings, rice, summer salad
(I had this on my menu for last week and we ended up eating out. We wanted to test it out for a quick and easy meal in January)

Tuesday Sept 9

Wednesday Sept 10
Steak, twice baked potato, grilled asparagus, fruit medley

I'm planning on making some
Muffins for breakfasts and oatmeal.

Sunday: leftovers Monday: stuffed pepper sauté and cheesy rice with yellow squash Tuesday: crab cakes, yellow beans, and corn chowder Wednesday: Hot dogs, corn on the cob, tomato cucumber salad Thursday: crockpot pork chops, mashed potatoes, and sautéed carrots Friday: Roasted Veggie Pizza Bonus: I normally eat a little snack around 10:00, lunch, and a mid afternoon snack. I normally take leftovers, a yogurt or applesauce, a piece of fruit, and cheese and crackers. I overpack because I'd rather take one of my snacks home than have to raid the vending machine.
