mrsfleming12 · January 2015

I love these posts, they always give me ideas and motivation.......now if only I would follow through and actually cook most of the meals I plan

We'll probably have quesadillas one night, hamburgers another, and those meatball subs are sounding pretty delicious right now @picklesx so I might have to add them to the list.

Edit: I really should proofread these before I hit submit...

kamomo1 · January 2015

Leftover turkey casserole thing tonight for dinner

Honey mustard pork tenderloin with mash potatoes and veggies

Meat and veggie lasagna or stuffed shells(have both and haven't decided which one i will use, made with the se ingredients).

Beef and broccoli with rice and other veggies.

Pan seared tuna steak with baked potatoes and peas.

For lunches tuna salad or chicken salad stuffed pita pockets. (Tuna 2 days, chicken the rest). For my tuna/chicken salads I use laughing cow light cheese wedges1-2, peas, chopped celery, grapes, flaxseed, chopped almonds, craisins, apples and spinach. I might add tangerines in there this week.

This weekend we stocked up on chicken and canned veggies, broth, tomatoes, and beans...those in NJ might know about Shoprite's Can-Can sale...anyway, lots of crockpot meals this week. Sun: turkey sausage, kale, white beans over pasta. Mon: crockpot chicken tacos. Tues: taco soup with leftovers from tacos. Wed: crockpot chicken and peppers in spicy tomato sauce over brown rice. Thursday: crockpot chicken and stuffing with broccoli on the side. Fri: leftovers or pizza.

MIL goes to shop rite and gets SIL and I a ton of canned stuff. I'm glad she does since it is normally crazy, no parking, millions of people in line. Too much for me.

KatyInNH · January 2015

I think I have my meals figured out for the week now:

Monday- shrimp and avocado po'boys
Tuesday- pesto chicken sandwiches
Wednesday- taco bowls (lettuce, rice, beans, shredded chicken, avocado)
Thursday- chicken and spinach quesadillas
Friday- eggplant Parmesan
Saturday- mushroom chicken and rice

Not in NJ, but we have Shoprite here. I hit up the can can sale this weekend too. So much broth, beans, and canned veggies in my cabinets now!

I didn't know which states had Shoprite...is it only in the northeast? @redneckmomma25‌, the Shoprite by us is crazy, too, and a couple of towns away so we only go when the sale makes it worth it. We have shelves in the basement that now look like a mini-Shoprite.

I'm in NY...not sure how far spread they are....

I'm so impressed with all of you who plan meals for the week. Is this something that happens out of necessity when you have kids or are you just really organized and awesome?

My planning ahead is based on me trying not to waste money or shop more than I have to. I like to shop only once a week and when I go to the store without a list of what we're eating that week, I end up not buying enough or buying stuff I don't use and ultimately goes to waste.

Prpljade · January 2015

I'm with Katy, if I don't plan out meals and know what I'm shopping for it's usually a waste of a shopping trip. I'm not against shopping more than once a week, I like my produce as fresh as possible, but I hate spending too much time or money wasted at the store. It also helps DH and I stick to a healthier way of eating.

Tonight it's french dip sandwhiches and ceasar salad.

No particular order for the rest of the week but will include,
DH's spaghetti(his is always better than mine), mild Italian sausages and peppers, chicken stir fry and jasmine rice, breakfast scramble, meatloaf and chopped salad.

redneckmomma25 · January 2015

Even with a meal plan I have a hard time sticking to a list. But it's also hard to plan out 3 meals a day 7 days a week sometimes. I like a variety for DD especially with fruits and veggies but everything is hit or miss with her. So I'll grab a few options for breakfasts and lunches and such. I try not to waste as much as possible.

wolowizard · January 2015

I haven't decided on what day would be what but tonight we had ramen (whoo) then for the rest of the week it'll be chicken alfredo, chicken bacon ranch pasta, meatball casserole, pigs in a blanket, fried chicken and gravy, and Mexican chicken wraps. I bought lots of chicken so I could use my new vacuum sealer I got for Christmas.

amystan · January 2015

@lilzeezee so jealous that your DW is an organic farmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! words can not express my envy!

kjuryfl · January 2015

Tomorrow: Crockpot beef stew with dinner rolls.

Wednesday: Weekly date night - Dinner out

Thursday: Marinaded pork tenderloin with roasted red potatoes.

Friday: Either take out or I will do something easy.

I cook every night but I usually just make sure I have fresh ingredients and pantry/freezer staples on hand so that I can throw together just about anything I feel like that night. However, we honor the holy holiday of Spaghetti Sunday each week. Tonight, it's a very long-simmered spicy sausage ragout. I miss "having" to open the wine for sauce mid afternoon and sipping on it all day while the sauce simmers and makes the house smell heavenly. I think I'll make cuban black bean soup tomorrow with smoked ham hocks from the freezer and dried beans. The rest of the week is a total mystery.

I am an avid couponer and meal planning helps me better utilize my coupons and follow store sales. This week the meat I would usually buy is not on sale so I was able to pull from my freezer stash (I buy in bulk when the meat we eat often goes on sale). At the grocery store today I spent $70 for a family of 3, including a child who eats none stop. That includes breakfast for the week, lunch for the week, and 3 dinners.

karboss · January 2015

For this week we planned:

Breakfast: scrambled egg with cheese sandwiches (I make ahead and wrap in wax paper--we pull from the fridge and reheat).

Lunch: leftovers from throughout he week

Dinners:
Sunday- chili with tamales
Monday-sausage and tortellini soup
Tuesday-hamburgers and gravy with egg noodles
Wednesday-pulled pork with fries--crockpot
Thursday-chicken lo mein
Friday-Parmesan tilapia with rice pilaf

I'm currently diagnosed GD so I will have to be careful with my pasta servings but I think I'll be just fine!
