WFD?

gimmeyronionrings · September 2014

I'm meal planning for the week and have no creative ideas (just the usual stuff). The weather just turned and it's supposed to be rainy and about 10-15 degrees cooler than it has been for a while. Is it weird to eat variations of potpie all week? 8->

What do you guys have planned for dinner tonight/this week?

Chicken and Rice soup in the crock pot. New recipe, so I haven't tasted it yet, but it smells amazing.

Spaghetti and meatballs
Pulled bbq chicken sandwiches
Bean and cheese empanadas
Soup
Chicken piccata

(All served with veg or salad, just not sure what on each day)

Do you make the empanadas yourself, or are they premade? I've always wanted to try making empanadas myself!

Eora3 · September 2014

I made a huge pot of chili last night so we will have leftovers for a bit.

I will probably do a chicken and rice casserole or a tuna noodle casserole later in the week. I am loving the slightly cooler weather!!

Haven't plotted out the whole week yet (we were away for the weekend, trying to play catch up). Tonight is a soup that we got as a gift (dry ingredients in a mason jar)... adding some fresh veggies to it and hoping it's going to be good. Have leftover OG breadsticks that we will probably heat up with it.

We will also be having a spaghetti squash later in the week with marinara sauce as someone gave us a huge one from her garden. yummm. The rest of the week is still up in the air - thinking fajitas made with tofu or fake chicken might be somewhere on the list!

Lucky! I wish I had someone in my life who would gift me squash!

I've been craving butternut squash lately, so I may have to pick one up to roast in the oven.

What's your favorite brand of veggie chicken? I have some Gardein plain chick'n strips in the freezer that I need to try (I've only tried the breaded ones so far). I might use them in a potpie.

These Asian meatballs. I double the sauce in the oven and put them on a bed of rice with a side veggie. Hubby loves them.

AlwaysForgetful · September 2014

Umm, I'd do it for as many days as the kids would eat it. lol SO... well he would deal or starve.

I have some freezer meals already, so if I am lazy, I just have to decide if I have enough time to do a crock pot or if I am going to pull out an oven meal (pop in oven frozen, cook for an hour).

This week the plan is,
*Hawaiian Chicken with coconut black bean rice (next to no work with a crock pot and rice cooker).
*Cupcake meatloaf, potatoes, veg
*Fried chicken breast, potato pancakes (leftover potatoes made into patties and cooked), and green beans
*Some form of spaghetti. I crave lemon basil spaghetti, but have no lemons.
*Steak, Potatoes, and a veg

I've gotten as far as thawing ground beef, that counts for something right?

@gimmeyronionrings - we typically use Gardein as well for chick'n strips. I think the ones we bought last time for fajitas were supposed to be "teriyaki strips" but we just saved the little sauce packet for a stirfry night and used the chick'n. I find that any of the strips works well if you're using them in a meal that has a good deal of flavor - sometimes the texture is a bit off-putting but the Gardein ones are good especially if you brown them up a bit

That's what I have in my freezer!

I bought the teriyaki chick'n strips to experiment with, planning on just saving the sauce for something else.

I've been really pleasantly surprised by their products (especially love their little sliders!). Their products are what made DH decide to go vegan!

erynpdx · September 2014

Tonight is leftover rotisserie chicken and corn on the cob.
Tomorrow will be chili and I'm hoping that those leftovers will continue sounding good for most of the rest of the week.

AlwaysForgetful · September 2014

@gimmeyronionrings

Coconut black bean rice.
in a rice cooker add 1 1/2 C white rice, (you can do 2C rice, works the same, just add more water) 1 TBSP brown sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 1/4c water.
Mix. I you need it sweeter or more salt add it. This is one of those "here is the base, you tweak it". It will dull out a little bit as it cooks.

Turn the rice cooker on and let it go. It will take almost double the time to cook. Near the end you may have to add another 1/4C water so it cooks the rice all the way. I have made this a million times with 1 1/2c rice and half the time more water is needed, the other half not. *shrugs*

After rice is cooked, drain and rinse a can of black beans (I'm sure another bean would be fine). Or I will add a cup of dried beans that I let set in water over night (so they plumped up) and had already cooked. Mix rice and beans together and you are done. The rice heats up the beans.

Everyone's meals sound awesome !

We are having crockpot chicken with onions and pineapple over rice. We will have leftovers a few days then we will have oven tacos! Yum... Tacos

Is there actual coconut used in the recipe or am I just missing it? I could totally be missing it, had 4 hours sleep last night.

Tonight we are having hamburger steak w gravy, fries and sweet peas (good ol' Southern food!)

Also this week we are having pork chops, baked sweet potatoes and lima beans. Other than that, I'm not sure. We will probably have either baked chicken with squash casserole or italian beef sandwiches with a steamed veggie, but I haven't decided. And we usually get takeout or go out one night.

jennielee123 · September 2014

Tri-tip, salad and baked potatoes. Mmmmm, can't wait.

agsgrrl · September 2014

Guess it's going to be this quick and dirty cheesy taco pasta I found on Pinterest. I just want all the cheesy things

haloform · September 2014

Today is our anniversary, so tonight for dinner we're making grilled ribeye steaks, baked potatoes, salad, and apple crisp. Also, I will have a small glass of wine, which I'm kinda stoked about.

Other meals this week include pork chops w/ delicata squash and green beans, chicken and dumplings, and butternut squash soup. I made quiche yesterday.

That makes me sad. I want chicken and dumplings. While I'm half Hispanic and love my Mexican food, my ol southern paternal granny lived with us my whole life so I looooove my southern comfort food. My full Mexican man does not, so it doesn't get made much. He's going to have to deal with it this week. ME WANT CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS!

allfalldown14 · September 2014

I was planning on having leftovers at home, but I was craving a cheeseburger so bad I got takeout from Red Robin. So worth it.

weezy29 · September 2014

On the menu this week:

Buffalo grilled chicken w roasted veggies

Taco salad(the kind with Catalina dressing and Fritos!!)

Slow cooker pepperoni and chicken w salad

Had crock pot pulled pork BBQ last night, will be leftovers tonight. Tuna noodle casserole (except I make it with chicken bc DH hates tuna) is on deck. No clue for the rest of the week...

JunkieBrewster · September 2014

Tonight is spinach turkey meatloaf, cauliflower mac and cheese (cauliflower instead of noodles) and garlic portabellos.

I can post the last few weeks of our menu if you want.

Thank you! That would be fantastic, if you don't mind! I love seeing other people's weekly meal plans (yeah, I'm weird). I have been in a rut just making the same 6 or 7 dishes for a while. Need some inspiration!

gimmeyronionrings · September 2014

Thank you for all of the ideas ladies! This is what I came up with for this week:

-Black Bean Burritos w/ Broccoli Salad
-Spaghetti Veggie Medley w/ Marinara Sauce and Garlic Bread
-Chick'n and Dumplings (I'm excited to "veganize" this dish)
-Taco Bake (taco seasoning mixed with brown rice, beans, spinach, salsa, with crushed tortilla chips on top)

We'll have leftovers a couple nights and probably go out one night too.

nopegoat · September 2014

Half a pita with hummus, chicken, and lots of veggies tonight.

ashleykadlec · September 2014
