Anyone want to share?
Right now DH is making a yummy scallop dish for dinner.

Re: WFD/Meal Plans for the week
It's only available in certain areas, but there are similar programs out there (so I have heard), and its the GREATEST thing ever. We've been going for about 3 years. They are healthy meals, and so yummy. Even if you don't go, you can get meal inspiration from their website.
This is awesome. Can you share some of the recipes or where you found them?
Also picked up a spaghetti squash so planning to make up some tomato sauce this week. Wishing I felt like making proper meatballs, but that just takes too much time and energy!
Yesterday we slow cooked a big hunk of beef
Sat: pot roast meat with gravy and potatoes, salad and bread
Sun: veggie pizza on naan
Mon: shredded beef tacos
Tues: turkey burgers w/side salad or coleslaw
Wed: veggie spaghetti with side salad and garlic bread
Thurs: bbq shredded beef sandwiches with coleslaw and homemade fries
Fri: taco salad
We try and do a week's worth of food when we go to the grocery store. Everything organic and fairly healthy and we make our week's allowance less than $100. It's so rare that we actually follow through with a full week of food. Normally we're scavenging or eating breakfast for dinner by Thurs. I'm pretty proud of this week's food.
Next week we will switch to crock pot chicken and do a similar meal plan. We normally go back and forth week to week because it's just easier that way. DH hates fish so I only get it when we go out or when I make tuna salad sandwiches for lunch :P
I know this is weird, but if I could make money off of it I would love to be a professional meal planner. I know how to make absolutely delish and quick meals off of one main protein and it's so fun!

Sunday: Spicy sausage and tomato soup with chickpeas, crusty bread and old cheddar on the side
Monday: DH cooks- special eggs and bacon
Tuesday: Spaghetti
Wednesday: Beef with snow peas (Pioneer Woman recipe)
Thursday: DH is working overnight- I'll scrounge for myself
Friday: chicken rogan josh, roasted curried cauliflower and pappadums
I love cooking in the cooler weather, I feel like I can turn my oven on again!
Made my meal plan and grocery list last night. Will go shopping after work today.
Monday: Shrimp Stir-Fry
Tuesday: Turkey Noodle Soup
Wednesday: Crockpot Cream Cheese Chicken
Thursday: Leftover Chicken
Friday: Tuna Melts and Broccoli
Saturday: French Toast for breakfast, baby shower for lunch (it isn't a full meal - just hors d'oeuvres and cake), out to dinner with family from out of town (using the shower as an excuse to visit)
Sunday - steak and potatoes on the grill. Will probably throw in some sort of veggie.
Here's a pic and a link to the recipe if anyone is interested:

Tonight: hubby is traveling so probably lean cuisine pasta
Tuesday: burgers, grilled onions and grilled asparagus (don't go together but we have asparagus we need to eat)
Wednesday: pumpkin ravioli in a cream sauce, with crusty bread and cannolis (have extra ricotta from lasagna we made Saturday)
Thursday: ham and mac and cheese (homemade!)
Friday: Likely going out
Saturday: We're going apple picking so maybe pork chops with a cinnamon rub and an apple sauce on top
Great job ladies! I haven't thought much about dinner this week, but we have a couple of leftovers in the fridge, so:
Tonight: Leftover soup, bread and salad
Tuesday: Something my MIL made, it was gravy-ish with peas, carrots and corn over biscuits. No one seemed to know what it was called.
And that's all I've got. I did go grocery shopping yesterday, so we should have plenty of food this week, just can't think of what I feel like cooking/eating.
