Meal Plan Monday (10/3)

So this is probably going to be my favorite thread since I'm pretty terrible at meal planning but love to cook and eat.  

Whatcha cooking this week ladies? (Or - if you're one of the lucky ones - What's your SO cooking?)

  • @JustBored10 - What a diverse menu!  Salmon with veggies sounds really delicious right now.  I've been all about fish recently.  Do you serve anything else with it?  Rice? Pasta? a potato?

  • @JustBored10 I'm envious of your meals this week!

    I'm not an adventurous cook, but DH seems to love my cooking. Since I work in the afternoon/evenings I am a huge crock pot user. DH isn't much of a cook but he helps out by making us subs 1-2 nights per week when I get home a little later.

    Monday - crock pot chicken tacos
    Tuesday - tuna subs (made by DH)
    Wednesday - meatball subs
    Thursday - pasta with zucchini and meat sauce
    Friday & Saturday - out, or take out!

  • For lunch this week, I prepped a delicious healthier version of hot wings! I used my electric pressure cooker and cooked chicken thighs and breasts in celery tops, chicken broth, and garlic. When they were done cooking, I cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and tossed it in buffalo sauce. Then, I broiled the pieces, stirring and adding more sauce occassionally, until crispy.

    For sides, I roasted Brussel sprouts and also have celery and homemade Greek yogurt ranch dresssing.

  • I made a crockpot zesty Italian chicken last night, I'm sure I'll be having leftovers until it's gone.
  • Monday - baked honey Dijon salmon, jasmine rice, steamed broccoli
    Tuesday - cheesy buffalo chicken sandwiches, raw veggies & ranch
    Wednesday - leftover night
    Thursday - Korean beef, onigiri (rice balls), steamed veggies
    Friday - pizza night
    Saturday - roast chicken with baby potatoes and veggies
    Sunday - chicken fried rice

    I'm working on cleaning up my breakfasts. I seem to always default to just coffee and end up starving way before lunch.

  • @dlphndoc I'll hire you to come to my place and cook. Nice menu!!
  • DH and I split the cooking since we both work full time.  He is probably a better cook than I am but I am no slouch in the kitchen.  We take turns shopping on Sunday and each cook 3 days during the week.  Yesterday was DH's day and he made his famous roast chicken for his mom's b-day.
    Monday--Spaghetti--DD's request
    Tuesday--DH
    Wednesday--Seared Broccoli Soup-a new recipe!
    Thursday---DH
    Friday--Turkey, Feta and Spinach burgers with Baked French Fries
    Saturday--Out
    I do alot of slow cooker and freezer meals so that I can get dinner on the table by 6:30 at the latest.
  • @JustBored10 - What a diverse menu!  Salmon with veggies sounds really delicious right now.  I've been all about fish recently.  Do you serve anything else with it?  Rice? Pasta? a potato? 
    We have fresh coho salmon in season right now so I get it at least two times a week! My husband is gluten free so we might do quinoa. I love to add curry to my quinoa while cooking so its not so bland tasting.  Or I might cook up some Kale or spinach.
  • Also DH is the cook I just meal plan and shop!

  • OMG you mean you don't decide what dinner is the day of? Haha I need to get better at this. I was happy with last night's dinner. I have been growing my own herbs recently so I made cilantro lime chicken that came out really good. But tonight is still a mystery ;)
  • @email2ash  _ LOL thats me.  I'm horrible at planning meals but want to be better.  Maybe a NY resolution especially since I'll have three crazy kids and DH to feed by late 2017 HAHA

  • @email2ash - I was just about to say the same thing! I have every intention of meal planning, but then it ends up being "idk, whatever we can think up with what we have"!

  • @lmc929 The perfect meme! Not just cause it's JLaw ;)
  • Busy week so not much cooking but I'll share a lazy girl cooking trick. Yesterday I grabbed a rotisserie chicken and we had that with quick cook cous cous and frozen broccoli. Tonight we had "chicken parm heroes" (leftover rotisserie chicken mixed with italian sauce, served on garlic bread with melted mozzarella). Love when I can get two different meals out of one thing.
  • All of these sound so good!!! Monday we had honey sesame chicken and roasted broccoli, Tuesday leftovers, tonight's is burgers and brussel sprouts and not sure on the rest of the week but this is good inspiration. 
  • I had froyo for dinner last night...that counts right?
