cant remember if I ever came back to post that the crock pot lasagna was a hit and now people at work are doing it and everyone has reported loving it .

I did use the noodles you dont have to preboil but one of the girls just used the regular noodles and said it was good .

need you guys to keep them coming this week we did not eat out at all and I didnt buy lunch out at all . My Dh was at the station a lot this week and cheated buying lunch and dinner out for 3 shifts LOL

Weds - Dance night. I have a training over an hour away so DH and DD will grab dinner on the way to dance.

Fri - Breakfast burritos, fruit

Sat - DH and I are going out of town for the day to celebrate our anniversary. We'll eat out (Buca di Beppo perhaps).

I had a crazy week, but only ate out once.

Tonight we are having bratwursts with homemade German potato salad.

[buckirj1]

Tonight: Canned ham and bean soup, pumpkin english muffin, baked pear
Sunday: Feeling ambitious - white beans and kale (w/ cranberries, onions and cashews), beef roast with tomatoes and italian seasonings in the slow cooker, oranges, vanilla and almonds for dessert
Monday: Sunday's leftovers
Tuesday: Skillet dinner of kielbasa, sauerkraut, onions and apples. brussels sprouts tossed in walnut oil on the side. I think I might deserve a chocalate dessert.
Wednesday: Tuesday's leftovers
Thursday: Chicken tenders in BBQ sauce, baked (well, microwaved) sweet potatoes, corn, peach. That's a mighty yellow/orange/red supper, ain't it?
Friday: Bay scallops and green beans in lemon sauce over a starch (haven't decided between rice, fettucine or red potatoes). Maybe a little microwaved lemon cake dessert.

What a great thread! You ladies have indeed inspired me to get better organized and plan out my meals. I've recently fallen in love with my crockpot again. As a working woman on the go with 2 kids in sports, no other invention has ever been any more genius than the crockpot in my opinion! It is a bit more challenging for me though since my son and hubby are type 1 diabetics I have to keep the meals on a low carb basis. Either way i'm currently working on a weekly menu and shopping list to prepare for the upcoming week. We are also penny pinching for our Disney Christmas Vacation! Hoorayyy!!

Tonight was Steak and Baked Potatoes.

Tomorrow will be Lasagna and a Salad.

Next week's meal list is:
Monday: Eggs, Sausage, and Toast
Tuesday: Angel Hair with Shrimp and Tomato Sauce and Salad
Wednesday: Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli and Rice
Thursday: Leftover Beef and Broccoli and Rice
Friday: Creamy Chicken Paprikash and Salad
Saturday: Hamburgers, Corn on the Cob, and Sliced Tomatoes
Sunday: Easy Salmon Cakes and Salad

I'm back! I've checked in here sporadically in the past, but I'm definitely on an eat at home kick for the new few months before our December WDW trip. We haven't eaten out in two weeks now. I even invited a friend over for lunch instead of meeting her at a restaurant last week. DH still buys lunch at work nearly every day, but I'm hoping he'll take his lunch at least once a week. Small steps!

Our freezer is well stocked with ready to cook meals, so that makes menu planning even easier. Here's our plan for the week.

Sunday - Veggie lasagne and spinach salad
Monday - Citrus Salmon and mixed green salad
Tuesday - leftover beans and rice (which I froze a couple of weeks ago)
Wednesday - Homemade pizza
Thursday - Crockpot beef stew
Friday - Tortellini
Saturday - TBD - possibly eating out if we decide to take the kids to an MLB game

I am glad it worked out for you. I also like the Trisha Yearwood crockpot mac and cheese but I cut back on some of the cheese. It's really rich.

We went to see Madonna in Chicago on Wednesday and ate out at XOCO by Rick Bayless. I will blog about the Chicago trip later today.

I might make tempura shrimp and veggies today and thai style shrimp later in the week. Monday and Tuesday are my ify days since I am in class all day.

Last night I had my first pressure cooker experience. And I am still alive to talk about it lol http://tinkmomfoodie-foodobsession.b...-my-house.html

Mom is sick so things are already getting moved around a little bit. I am not going to cook tonight as making a whole lasagna just for myself seems silly. As of right now I don't have a plan. I might go out with a friend depending on his plans later or I might just make something here at home. I have leftover steak and some potatoes so if I am home I might make a steak hash with eggs.

Then the other changes we have are:
Monday: Angel Hair with Shrimp and Tomato Sauce and Salad
Tuesday: Lasagna with Salad

The rest of the week will stay the same.
