Eat at home 2!

[laura428]

Just saw this thread and love the idea! I'm a very busy mommy who rarely gets home before 6:00 or 6:30, so am always looking for ways to get good meals on the table (whether I'm prepping them or DH is).

I'll post what our week looks like. It's not a typical week - I had outpatient surgery on my leg yesterday, so we had leftovers last night...

Sunday: Soy Ginger Salmon w/Broccoli & Rice
Monday: Chicken Apple Sausage Stir Fry w/Rice
Tuesday: leftovers - pizza for DH and me, pasta for the kids
Wednesday: Chicken Paprikash (that my grandma made and brought over last weekend - my FAVORITE meal!)
Thursday: Turkey Joes w/sliced raw veggies
Friday: Taco night!

Going back to post #1 to read up!

Welcome!

Tonight I have put on a BIG pot of chili in the crockpot. We will have crackers and cheese with it. I made enough for a "recycled" meal of Fritos Chili Pie later this week.

Tonight we are having ginger pork stir fry with veggies and rice.

Patting myself on the back I made Tortillas!!

Tonight I am using the leftover pulled pork for some quesadillas. Which wouldn't be made without the tortillas.

We had salmon with a parmesan crust, baked potatoes, and broccoli. The salmon was good for a change.

It was on the back of the salmon package. I was going to just use some pesto but it sounded good so I made it. It was really, really good. I know I'll make it again. I'll get the package.

Creamy Parmesan Salmon Fillet (serves 4-6)

1/2 c. mayonnaise (I used the kind with olive oil -- worked fine)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp fresh chives minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Salmon

Preparation instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400.
2. In a small bowl combine all ingredients except the salmon and mix well.
3. Spread mayonnaise mixture over the top of the salmon covering all of the meat.
4. Place salmon, skin side down, on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook for 25-30 min. until the fish flakes with a fork and the topping is golden brown.

The one time I didn't have lemon on hand. Plus no chives tonight. But it was wonderful even without those two things. If you give it a try, let me know how you like it! Everyone really liked it at our house.

We ended up having grilled cheese and tomato soup as we were short on time because of kid's activities. I'd like to try it, it looks yummy! Tonight was chicken & vegetable soup and crescent rolls. It's been cold here so soup is hitting the spot.

A funny thing happened at store the while I was shopping today. This toddler was talking loudly about the pancakes he was going to have for dinner. He and his mom were talking about them. The clerk said he made the pancakes sound pretty good and she was going to make pancakes for dinner. I said I was too! And I did.

I had about 4 bananas that were getting too ripe, so I threw them in the mix. I used 1/2 c. almond milk, a tsp. of vanilla, and just one egg with some Bisquick. Then I made two batches to make everyone happy. I made banana blueberry and banana chocolate chip pancakes. We had turkey sausage with them. I think it was the best I have ever made.
