Meal Plan Monday

lrg14 · May 2016

What are you making this week??

I need to get to the store today and need some ideas. I'm thinking homemade pizza one night and maybe pork tenderloin another?

We're going back to Blue Apron next week because first tri and meal planing just didn't happen.

JBing131 · May 2016

I have a crock pot meal going - chicken, enchilada sauce, salsa, corn, black beans, quinoa, taco seasoning and cumin. Letting the crock pot do the rest and hopefully when I get home tonight my house smells amazing and I can just eat and fall into bed.

Papa ginos veggie pocket. That or nothing if I keep feeling the way I do now. I've never been a good meal planner.

lrg14 · May 2016

@JBing131 that sounds so similar to my husband's favorite meal! I don't love quinoa so I skip that and pair it with rice.

King ranch chicken casserole. And mexicorn to go with it.

talkthewholetime · May 2016

We're having steak & cupcakes tonight because it's my dog's birthday and that's the kind of person I am.

In no particular order, the rest of the week includes ribs, chicken & rice, ravioli and tacos.

BmcD2016 · May 2016

Tonight we're going out as we will be checking out our new place. The rest of the week is steak and potatoes, grilled cheese, smoked pork from Costco BBQ sandwiches.

Im feeling better and maybe food will start tasting better

therealvday · May 2016

Usually we meal plan on Sundays but have been out of town all weekend so all we've got planned is today; Taco Monday. Rest of the week TBD...

Katemr1146 · May 2016

Stuffed Quinoa Peppers
Baked Tilapia and veggies
Quesadillas
and....no clue. I need to get my shit together this week

2amgoodbyes · May 2016

Tonight: Homemade "Salad Bar"

Other plans for this week: Leftover homemade spaghetti sauce with side salad, Black bean & corn quesadillas, and a beef pot roast

leighry · May 2016

@Katemr1146 if you need to get your shit together I need to get my life together. But all your meals sound wonderful. Stuffed peppers especially.

kms456 · May 2016

a massive loaded baked potato tonight. Besides that I'm clueless. I made DH do the menu this week. I'm not sure that was such a good idea

mrs_hoyahoo · May 2016

I've got two "real" meals planned for this week: Pasta with meat sauce and a side of green beans for tonight and later this week, eggs with a sweet potato hash.

Other nights this week DH is out of town, so we'll do PB&J and chicken nuggets

Elev429 · May 2016

Chicken Salad Sandwiches tonight and thats as far as I've gotten. Maybe Brats/ Dogs on the grill

Katemr1146 · May 2016

Haha thanks @leighry
those are some of my go-to meals that I generally always have ingredients for and require minimal effort. I'm usually more organized about putting together a shopping list and going to the grocery store on Mondays. Decided to nap today instead

lrg14 · May 2016

@Katemr1146 I usually shoot for 3-4 plans and then wing the rest. Sounds like you've got everything under control!

BLyn627 · May 2016

I love doing this thread on my other BMB FB group. I've gotten so many new dinner ideas.

Here's my week:
Monday: grilled chicken
Tuesday: one skillet Italian sausage pasta
Wednesday: cookout with friends
Thursday: Italian layer bake

and that's as far as I got this week.

whitneyf1 · May 2016

Monday - Panko crusted salmon, roasted potatoes and asparagus
Tuesday - Whole wheat spaghetti with bolognese, roasted broccoli
Wednesday - Turkey burgers, homemade sweet potato fries and salad

Not sure about the rest of the week yet!

bzzrbee28 · May 2016

Meal planning is possibly the worst part of my week. Thank goodness the weather is getting better and i can talk my husband into grilling. Tonight was steak. Tomorrow is probably a one pot pasta meal. We bought these frozen broccoli/cheese stuffed chicken breasts and stuffing so that's my go to when its my turn to cook. So little effort and something that feels home cooked.

hellopartyof5 · May 2016

Just had this tonight and it was delish! So easy too

RaeJ004 · May 2016

I am so uninspired this week.
Tonight we'll be doing sesame chicken, rice and salad. Tomorrow I'm out working so DH and the girls are on their own. Wednesday is T-ball so something quick and easy. Thursday DH and I are at a rehearsal dinner. Friday I'm positive we'll do takeout.

My DH made that same exact recipe last week! (It was the meal I ruined because I forgot to turn on the crock pot, so we had to make a do over a few days later). At the time I couldn't eat it, I had a few bites and just couldn't handle the flavor. It wasn't bad, but very rich and for whatever reason my tastebuds couldn't tolerate it. I was sad because it looked so perfect.

shevaCC · May 2016

I have a meal plan this week! I'm starting to feel better and have more energy...I'm proud of myself for planning!

Tonight was supposed to be chicken tortilla soup but we got home late from the children's hospital...DD was doing a food challenge for peanuts and had an anaphylactic reaction requiring epinephrine, multiple doses of Benadryl, oral steroids, and Zyrtec. So we had leftovers and fresh berries for dinner.

Tuesday: Slow cooker chicken tortilla soup
Wednesday: Chicken nachos
Thursday: Chicken/cheddar/avocado paninis
Friday: Baked cod, roasted red potatoes, broccoli

Katemr1146 · May 2016

@shevaCC - can you share your slow cooker chicken tortilla soup recipe? I have a great one that I can do on the stove, but every time I've tried a slow cooker recipe it gets a really weird flavor.

BabyVB118 · May 2016

For weeks I have been eating pasta with butter and parm cheese with a salad just about every night. The pasta is good but I have to force the salad. My husband has basically been on his own, eating salad with me and supplementing something a little more exciting than buttered pasta.

This week I am going to try to have soup instead of pasta. We'll see how it goes tonight...

lrg14 · May 2016

@shevaCC I hope your little one is feeling better! DH has a lot of food allergies including peanuts and I'm nervous our kids will too.

Megz1902 · May 2016

I use GatheredTable.com for meal planning. It's been working pretty well for me, it even generates a shopping list. You can use their recipes and add your own.

Dinner this week:
Monday: rosemary salmon with asparagus
Tuesday: Parmesan breaded pork chops with rosemary red potatoes
Wed: beef barley stew in the slow cooker with cornbread
Thurs: leftover pork chops with summer squash pasta
Friday: leftover beef barley stew
Saturday: going to a cookout
Sunday: roast chicken with homemade rolls

I think I need to plan a little more simple menu for next week, this one was a bit over budget.

CecilTheBear · May 2016

We've been very lazy. This week, we're baking a bunch of marinated chicken and just having that with sautéed veggies every night. Now that I'm in the second trimester, I really want to start getting more variety, especially incorporating fish. Maybe next week.

@lrg14, thank you. She woke up in a great mood and is doing much better today. I hope you don't end up dealing with food allergies in your kids -- they're scary! But I'm hopeful they're close to having real treatments in the next few years, in time to help my DD, and your kids if needed. There are several allergy moms on our board (me and @BmcD2016, maybe others?) if anyone ends up in our same boat.

shevaCC · May 2016

@Katemr1146, I use the All Recipes slow cooker chicken tortilla soup recipe: https://allrecipes.com/recipe/89539/slow-cooker-chicken-tortilla-soup/

Except I put in raw frozen chicken breasts, a little less salt, and I buy tortilla chips at the store -- they recommend making your own, but I don't have time for that craziness. I really like this recipe and nearly everything comes from a can/the freezer (maybe that's a bad thing, but is great for convenience).

Oh! It's not in the recipe but you'll want shredded cheese and maybe sliced avocado to garnish.

AmyReneT · May 2016

I am so proud that I actually planned and bought groceries this week!!! It's seriously been horrible eating out since the beginning of pregnancy because I've been so tired but finally got that 2nd trimester energy back! woop woop! this week is teriyaki salmon with rice and stir fry veggies, noodles with roasted red peppers Andouille sausage and alfredo sauce, crockpot buffalo shredded chicken to put on buns with slaw and bleu cheese, and I am trying out this Campbell's Hawaiian crockpot marinade with pork and pineapples to put on those sweet Hawaiian rolls.
