Meal Plan w/o 3/18 through 3/24

sabby2 · March 2018

I know it says to post this on Mondays, but do most people do their meal plans before the week starts?

What's on the menu this week?

profmcgonagall · March 2018

I start mine whenever I only have one meal left. Let’s be honest, sometimes the plan lasts longer than a week due to having Pizza/cereal for dinner.

- Moo goo gai pan
- Dijon chicken with mushrooms and asparagus
- Roasted paprika chicken with carrots and potatoes
- Cheeseburger quesadillas
- Pan fried steak with green beans and mashed sweet potatoes

Sweet Potato/Avocado (either or), Cucumber, and Spinach Sushi w/ brown rice.
Eggplant parmigiana and broccoli
Veggie Burgers with whole grain bun
Black eyed pea and collard green soup w/ cornbread
Baked Falafel with couscous & hummus
Hashbrowns with spinach, onion, mushrooms, and peppers
Crunchy tacos w/ black bean burger filling

I go back and forth with having meal plans and just winging it.

-Burgers/veggie burgers and chips
-Leftover black eyed pea soup/bread
-Quesadillas and beans
-Spaghetti and meatballs, salad
-Something with chicken breast
-Something with sausage, kale, and beans
-Leftovers

@austenista I made black eyed pea soup with kale last night- it was my first time using our instant pot and I loved the results. I didn't have ham or bacon on hand so it was vegetarian but my meatatarian DH still had multiple helpings lol.

@May14th2011 I used to love making quiche for dinner (DH grimaced when I called it quiche so I threw bacon in half of it and called it meat cheese egg casserole lol) but DS had an egg allergy so I stopped but he recently outgrew the allergy so I want to start again. I'd always rather bake than cook so quiche makes me happy.

@llamamama14 What a coincidence! I'm actually using kale this time too because I couldn't find any collard greens. I use this recipe but I leave out the bacon, switch to vegetable broth, and add some ACV for my taste.

llamamama14 · March 2018

@austenista My recipe was similar
https://lifemadesimplebakes.com/2017/12/instant-pot-black-eyed-pea-soup/ with the instant pot I could go from dried beans to fully cooked in a half hour. Cayenne and paprika gave it a little kick, too.

llamamama14 · March 2018

Also, I know instant pot hits and misses were mentioned in weekend randoms but if anyone has any recipe links for favorites please post!

twelvetwosomeonenew · March 2018

I typically make my menu up Friday and Saturday, So that I can shop and prep on Sunday.

Monday: asparagus stuffed chicken (side salad for me, mac n cheese for the kids)
Tuesday: crustless pizza casserole w/ peppers & mushrooms (salad for me, garlic bread for family)
Wednesday: baked meatballs over zucchini
Thursday: French toast, sausage & fruit
Friday: taco salad
Saturday: left overs

krash_ · March 2018

Idk if we want a separate instant pot recipe thread but I will just include a couple of my hits in here. If anyone has had success with a mac & cheese recipe HMU.

-Pork loin with veggies
-Chicken burrito rice bowls
-Instant pot goulash

I refuse to do any IP recipe where I have to prepare something else in another pot or on the stove. IMO the beauty of the IP is that you don't have a ton of dishes and you can do a meal in 30 mins.

Tonight is crockpot chicken enchilada soup.

I'm an open the fridge and pantry, see what I have and wing it kinda girl, so I mostly go day by day.
