Re: Meal Plan Monday 4/16

  • 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!!

  • @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.... :)

  • Yesss let me know how you like it! @stlmegs
  • 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! :smile:
  • 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?
  • @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:
