We crock pot a lot for lunches, and made Skinny Taste's Crock Pot Sesame Honey Chicken yesterday. It smells heavenly and I hope I don't vom when I try to eat it.

@rooonilwaazlib That looks delicious! I love a good crockpot chicken recipe. I hope you don’t vom too! :-)
Heres another simple and healthy meal I have on heavy rotation lately: https://www.theendlessmeal.com/one-pan-bacon-apple-chicken/. FYI, I add dates and extra bacon (duh) and use butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes.

I don't really have the week planned, but this is on the menu for some time this week: https://www.skinnytaste.com/turkey-taco-spaghetti-squash-boats/

We have planned the following

Monday: Chicken cutlets (DH will probs have to prepare) with brown rice and green beans
Tuesday: Chicken fajitas on whole wheat tortillas
Wednesday: spaghetti and meatballs (I’m trying to be healthier, but I draw the line at whole wheat pasta. I just can’t enjoy it for some reason, I’ve never liked it)
Thursday: Steak and Eggs (breakfast for dinner is my fav!)

@catlady2015 we loveeeee those! Skinny taste is amazing!

We have the following planned:
M: shrimp fajitas with guacamole (but in lettuce cups instead of tortillas)
T: chicken with zucchini noodles and mango slices
W: Turkey Stuffed Bell peppers and roasted broccoli
T: sloppy Joe’s over baked sweet potatoes (my absolute fave)

we we generally eat paleo for dinner but I make up for it with about 700 English muffins throughout the day

I live off crockpot/instantpot freezer meals these days. I have a bunch but I'm roughly thinking:

Monday: Chicken Chili with Cornbread topping
Tuesday: Cool Ranch Shredded Chicken (will probably eat it as a "taco salad")
Wednesday: Sesame Short Ribs with stir fry veggies
Thursday: Grilled Lemon Garlic chicken with grilled zucchini
Friday: Leftovers

Then leftovers of these things for lunch the next day. Today for lunch I have some leftover Chicken Tikka Masala with peas that I made last week... And I just swiped some mac and cheese made with chickpea pasta from the toddler for... brunch? Second breakfast? Pre-lunch? Apparently pregnant me who isn't puking her guts out (yet? *knock on wood*) is super hungry.

I woukd say “reminicent of” but not exactly like it. If you go into it expecting it to taste like the chips, you’ll be disappointed. That said, I think it’s still yummy!

@MrsDho11 @kaf1788 If one was so inclined, one could probably use cool ranch doritos as a utensil/mechanism for eating this delicious chicken!

@MrsDho11 do you have a recipe for sesame short ribs? those sound amazing! We do a delicious pomegranate short ribs in the crock pot in fall. I will find the recipe and post. The sauce itself is delicious on anything...we've used it on turkey meatballs too!

@kaf1788 ended up not cooking yesterday, so I made it today.

It was my first time making it in the Instant Pot instead of the slow cooker. It was soooooooo good!

MrsDho11 · May 2018

@rooonilwaazlib I can post the recipe for you if you want, but I made it last night and neither of us was really a fan. Boo. (Granted, I don't actually like beef, so that wasn't the biggest surprise on my end, LOL!)
