So we did eat out one extra night this past week, but it was for a school fundraiser and it was fast food not an expensive dinner. This week's plan is:

Sun (off)- turkey burgers on English muffins with coleslaw and/or potato salad
Mon (7-5)- roast with potatoes and carrots in the crock pot
Tue (8-5)- Court of Honor for Scouts and the Troop is providing pizzas, we are bringing DS's favorite red velvet cookies
Wed (off)- meatball subs with honeydew melon
Thu (12:30-9:30)- grilled chicken salad
Fri (1-10)- meatloaf with green beans and garlic bread
Sat (8-5)- DS has band competition so they'll get fed, DH and I will grab something quick once I get off work on the way to competition- luckily it is at the other high school in town

Happy eating to all!

Got a recipe question for you all. Do you think stuffed bell peppers would taste good with a roasted red pepper sauce in place of the tomato sauce? I would use green bell peppers to stuff and the sauce would be seasoned. I think I may give it a try in a few weeks and see what happens, but I am craving stuffed peppers and can't have tomatoes.

I have to laugh. I started a new job last week with a long commute and while DH does cook, he's had a hectic schedule so wasn't that inspired last week. So, over the weekend we had pasta and then chicken and had leftovers of each that I thought would be good to "earmark" for early this week. Sunday I also cooked up taco meat and stuck it in the fridge. Came home last night and what did the kids have? Hot dogs. Oh well, at least it was in the house and not take out. DH and I had some of the leftover chicken. We will see what they all decide to eat tonight. Lol.

I think it would be great...I change up what I stuff peppers with all the time - while I haven't gonna that route, I could see a spin on sausage and peppers in a stuffed pepper working really well!...maybe I should try that with carmelized onion, carmelzed pepper tops, chopped garlic, roasted red pepper sauce, hot italian sausage, parm, and ground up rolls and s&p...

Yes. I can't eat tomatoes either (Bc of GERD) and am always looking for good sauce substitutions.

Pepperoni pizza (take and bake)
Beef tacos (crockpot)
Chicken and dumplings (I will do the chicken and broth in crock pot)
BBQ beef sandwiches from a premade tub, and slaw
Crock pot pork with stuffing, onion, and gravy
Spiral ham, mashed potatoes

Hosting multiple adult guests tonight for a game and dessert, so made an "easy dinner and dessert" run today...also broke my microwave Friday and won't get a new one til Tuesday, so that is annoying for defrosting/dinner prep (gonna avoid defrosting til then) - also have to run out Tuesday for a few extra things, so will finish my plan then...

Sun - Spaghetti and Meatballs, Roasted Brussell Sprouts, Strawberry/Mango Bowl
Mon - Cheese Quiche (with Milk) - missed quiche last week, Sausage, Mango/Mixed Berry Bowl, Orange Julius Smoothies
Tues - Indian Butter Chicken Stir Fry (still have the sauce and have new vegs), Biscuits, Apple Slices

Changed up Tuesday per kid request (so I still have that sauce for next week) and have the rest of the week...
Tues (done) - Spaghetti with Meatballs and Homemade Veg sauce (tossed in last of roasted brussels with some green pepper and onion), Green Grapes/Bananas

I have a ton of crockpot recipes I can post if you like. Remind me of your food allergies again though...no tomatoes, right? Anything else?

@LilyWDW this one might be a good one for you to try:

Crockpot Corn Chowder

Ingredients

3 cups corn
8 oz small potatoes, quartered
8 slices cooked bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper to taste
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups milk {I used 2%}
1/4 cup butter

Directions

Combine the first 8 ingredients in slow cooker, cover and cook high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. Stir in milk and butter and cook for an additional hour.
Serve with warm rolls or buttered toast.

This one is hearty, healthy, and crazy easy. Not sure if it freezes well because it goes fast around here! We always add in chopped celery and have added carrots and/or frozen spinach too. Next time I make it I want to toss in some fresh broccoli to see how we like it.
