Did a big shop at Sam's club today so need to plan menu for this week:

Sat (tonight) we had burgers on the foreman grill and oven fries
sun: appetizers and frozen pizza for superbowl, chips and queso dip
Mon: Mac n cheese with taco seasoned beef and green beans
Tues: Grilled teriyaki chicken, lo mein and veg stir fry
Wed: Pork roast, mash potatoes, brocolli/cauliflower
Thurs: Smoked sausage Jambalaya with grilled corn bread and green salad
Fri: Ham, Egg and cheese fritatta

I do often switch around what day we have what meal - but I am finding this thread is keeping me on point with eating home and sometime during the week I make the planned meal

So, I now am having to plan for every night. Things didn't work out...

Here is my menu for next week. I may start being tutored in Japanese by a friend starting this week, so I have a roaming "super easy" meal in there. That way it's not a huge deal if it doesn't get made!

Mon/6 Crock Pot Chicken a la Criolla, Rice
Tue/7 (Class) Eggs, Chicken Sausage, Toast, Fruit
Wed/8 (Class) Leftovers or Frozen Meal/Vegetables
Thu/9 Whole Wheat Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce, Chicken Sausage, Fruit
Fri/10 Grilled Chicken Salad (unless tutoring starts)
Sat/11 Sirloin Steak, Baked Parmesan Tomatoes, Salad, Baked Potato (for mom)
Sun/12 Maple Mustard Chicken Thighs (Foodnetwork), Sweet Potatoes, Salad

It's just me this week so to keep it fast & easy I made a tray of ziti yesterday & I am making pulled chicken today. I plan to alternate these two dishes all week. I also have some tater tots, macaroni & cheese and meatballs in the fridge if I want something to go with those entrees.

Back from Costco and the grocery store. This week we are trying all new recipes! Here's the menu, in no particular order-
-waffle crusted chicken tenders (never got around to having it this week), homemade mac & cheese
-crispy cheddar chicken, rice, corn casserole
-crock pot baked potato soup, pretzel rolls
-crispy southwest chicken wraps
-ranch house crock pot pork chops, mashed potatoes
-Costco take and bake pizza, salad
-Superbowl- wings, brats, raw veggies/dip, cheese ball/crackers

MominKC - We loved the crispy cheddar chicken! One tip that really helped me though was that when you dip the chicken in the milk, then into the cheese, I really had to press the cheese onto the chicken to make it stick.

Thanks for the tip! I can't wait to try it, I mean you can't go wrong with chicken and cheese

 

[wishesuponastar]

I have a job interview in about an hour so I am totally nervous and have no clue yet what we are having for dinner.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I think the interview went very well. I will find out sometime next week if I am called in for a second interview.

Tonight for dinner we are having The pioneer woman's bbq grilled chicken and pineapple quesadillas with Spanish rice and sauteed veggies.

Fingers crossed for you charming!!!

I really need to get back on track here. I have eaten out more in the last month than I normally would over a 3 month period. I told DH that this week ='s no eating out. He should be fine with that since we have more leftovers from our Superbowl Party than we can ever eat.

So here goes for our leftover week:

Mon- DH: pizza and grilled BBQ wings
Me: shrimp cocktail and veggies

Tues: DH : pizza and wings and salad
Me: pizza and shrimp and salad

Wed- DH: pizza and wings and veggies ( every night until its gone... he will love this splurge )
Me: grill the shrimp, taco dip

Thurs- DH : pizza ( if it still is left), meatballs, taco dip, salad
Me: meatballs, salad, veggies

Fri: Chicken and veggie stirfry ( normally I make homemade pizza on Fridays but that seems like overkill )

Sat: Soup and Sandwhich

Sun: I am throwing a Bridal Shower so I will eat there and bring leftovers home for DH

 

[OceanAnnie]

Not sure how the week will play out.

Mon- chicken breasts, fresh green beans, potatoes w/ a little chicken broth and balsamic vinaigrette in the crock pot.

The rest of the week:

- breakfast for dinner
- beef and broccoli over rice
- turkey meatloaf and mashed potatoes
Fri.- Pizza!

I have veggies and fruit to choose from. It's the meat/main that needs planning for me.

Last night we had neighbors over for the game, dh brought home some chips, dips, frozen crab cakes, etc from the grocery store. Dd6 & I went to the Disney Princess play so the 2 of us had a fast food lunch. Tonight is the scrambled egg muffins, English muffins & fruit.

 

[Priorityonecb]

We went out to eat for lunch yesterday, and have an entire pizza leftover from Mellow Mushroom! This weeks meals are going to be odd for us. I am trying to clean out the fridge/freezer/pantry. Lots of what we have is pretty junky stuff. It will get healthier once all of this nonsense is gone!

Monday-Leftover MM pizza, salad
Tuesday- Leftover mexican soup, turkey and swiss sandwiches
Wednesday-Sloppy Joes, tator tots, corn on the cob
Thursday-Fish fillet sandwiches, baked potatoes, baked beans
Friday-salmon, roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli
