Re: Meal Plan Monday

  • Disclaimer:  DH meal planned and grocery shopped for this week since I was gone so this week isn't a typical week for us.

    M - frozen spaghetti dinner (pre-made)
    T - Chick-fil-a (DS has an early soccer game)
    W - breakfast for dinner
    Th - chicken nuggets and mac and cheese
    F-S - I'll be back to meal planning and cooking

  • Sunday: stuffed Mexican peppers, Monday: @dashofreality‌ 's spinach and artichoke chicken in the crockpot over noodles, Tuesday: homemade chicken nuggets with oven fries and sweet potato fries, Wednesday: leftover spinach and artichoke chicken over rice, Thursday: bean quesadillas, Friday: spaghetti with Cesar salad and bread.
  • Yesterday was roasted chicken and veggies. Hoped there would be leftovers but no such luck. The rest in no particular order:
    Chicken sausage, Mac and cheese and broccoli
    Pasta and turkey meatballs from the freezer
    Shrimp and kielbasa saffron rice
    We will fill in the gaps at panera or with pizza.
  • Monday: Salmon (frozen, wild-caught, Costco), broccoli, sweet potato fries
    Tuesday: Pot Stickers, kale
    (single mom so don't have him Wed or Thursday)
    Friday: eat out
    Saturday: cook-out: bratwursts, carrot sticks, potato chips
    Sunday: pasta w/ homemade meat (and tons of veggies) sauce

    My LO does not like cheese or bread (no easy mac n' cheese or sandwiches).  I am going to work on soup this fall/winter- I'd love him to dig on some chili.  
    If being a math nerd is wrong, I don't wanna be right!
  • Monday - chicken fajitas with chips and guac
    Tuesday - grilled chicken with fries
    Wednesday - Sausage and Peppers if I don't have a work dinner
    Thursday - Beef Stroganoff in the slow cooker over egg noodles
    Friday -  Italian Beef sandwiches with fries
    Saturday - Dinner with my family for my parents' birthdays

  • @dashofreality‌ : made your artichoke spinach crockpot meal last night. Wow. Life-affirming. DH's only complaint was I served it w really bland white rice. He seriously said, "This casserole deserves better than the rice" and started game-planning a new starch. We are leaning toward one of those 90 second microwaveable rice packets. We love the Spanish rice but I think they have Italian ones too. Anyway, thanks for the recipe. Yum yum yum yum.
  • So I've been trying to get better about planning, and have decided that my meal planning week starts on Saturday.  We used to eat out every weekend, but now we're down to about once a month, and reserving take-out for later in the work week, when we're tired and I'm usually working late.

    So here it goes...
    Saturday: Grilled Filet Mignon, Oven Risotto, Broccoli
    Sunday: Mom care package - DH got spaghetti and meatballs, I got crustless quiche
    Mon: Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Tues: Leftovers - Risotto, Chicken tortilla soup
    Wed: DH has work dinner, nanny will feed the kids, I'll probably have cheese and crackers.
    Thurs: Taco Salad made with ground chicken breast
    Fri: Make your own pizza

  • @MommyAtty thanks so much, that makes me really  :D to hear! That one is my favorite. The Chicken Florentine is a really similar recipe, but probably does better over starch.

  • Monday-chicken, gator toe and green salad
    Tuesday- Ground Turkey Meat tacos
    Wednesday- Raviolis w/salad
