Sunday-We had a few nice days last week but it is STILL cold and gross here, so we made homemade chicken noodle soup yesterday. We were super busy with a bunch of stuff around the house so we made it with rotissere chicken and Reames noodles, but the fresh veggies and herbs we used made it AWESOME. I am pretty excited to have leftovers for lunch today
Monday-Oven baked chicken, roasted veggies, cous cous
Tuesday-Parmesan crusted tilapia, asparagus, and mashed cauliflower
Wednesday-Leftovers
Thursday-Mexican turkey skillet
Friday & Saturday-Eating out somewhere as we will be out of town

Monday - this lemon rosemary chicken from Trader Joe's - it is SO good. Will pair with some brown rice and roasted asparagus https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/spatchcocked-lemon-rosemary-chicken
Tuesday - hamburgers with pepperjack and avocado, side salads and maybe roasted cauliflower
Wednesday - tacos made with "meatless meat"
Thursday - BBQ chicken (hopefully on the grill if weather is nice enough and grill isn't too dirty from the winter months), maybe quinoa or brown rice, and broccoli
Friday - ground turkey meat sauce with whole wheat penne, side salads

Maybe typing this out will actually help me stick to this for once!

@zande2016 that lemon rosemary chicken sounds SO good!!

zande2016 · April 2018

@stlmegs it is seriously the most flavorful chicken I've ever had. The smell while it's cooking is amazing too.

@zande2016 that "baked chicken" on my meal plan for tonight has turned into a stop by trader joe's on the way home for this specific chicken. I'm using pregnancy cravings as the excuse....

DH is in charge of meal preps because I have suddenly become unable to do anything in the kitchen without spilling. So in an effort to not make a giant mess, I'm planning the meals and he's doing the cooking:

M : Grilled chicken breast, sweet potato, steamed broccoli

T : Spaghetti squash (home grown!) with homemade meatballs and red sauce. Takes time, but soooo worth it. https://noblepig.com/2009/10/the-best-meatballs-and-my-three-day-marinara-sauce/ The sauce and meatballs freeze really well so we put a bunch into the freezer for later. We started this already since it is really worth taking the 3 days to make it for depth of flavor.

W: Grilled sockeye, rice, Japanese pickles, steamed greens

TH: Chicken tortilla soup - we've made this one for years and it's good and lets you be pretty lazy because it all goes in a crock pot https://lyndasuttles.com/clean-chicken-tortilla-soup/ we use our own seasonings instead of a packet, but a packet would be easier!

F: Left overs

@noideawhatshesdoing saving your sauce recipe! I try to meal plan but haven't frequented this thread...maybe I will to start stalking your guys' recipes!

M- chicken Alfredo with broccoli and garlic bread
T- hot ham and cheese sandwiches, chips, veggie
W- sweet and sour chicken tenders, French fries, veggie
T- meatloaf and mashed potatoes (can you tell I don’t like making this and it just floats around from week to week) taking some of this to a friend so it *must* be cooked
F- peach chipotle chicken and rice, veggie
S- meatball subs and French fries
S- hopefully leftovers, if not then brinner or something my H decides to make.

Sunday- Was DH birthday so we went to Texas Roadhouse

Monday- Shrimp and broccoli stir fry with lots of garlic and brown rice

Tuesday- Ranch chicken thighs with asparagus

Wednesday- Garlic Honey Pork Loin with broccoli

Thursday- I was going to make an italian sausage white bean spinach dish but my grocery store was out of italian sausage

so I bought ground turkey (still accidentally bought the white beans and spinach) idk what I'm going to do with it yet....anyone have ideas? Maybe chili?

SmashJam · April 2018

@babygagon2018 I think you can make a good soup with those three ingredients! A quick google search of those three ingredients came up with a few options but this looks good:
