Yesterday--sloppy joes. Made double batch to freeze, woke up to find DS15 ate them ALL overnight.

Today--spaghetti w/ bolagnese sauce
Mon--kung pao shrimp
Tues-- chicken w/ 40 cloves of garlic
Wed--beef fajitas
Thurs--out (sushi because I'll be driving into a larger town that has a good sushi restaurant)
Fri--leftovers or takeout

(I'm at the point now when I'm just trying to plan meals out as well. Fridays are usually super busy, so we've started getting Thai or Chinese takeout since I'll be home around 7 or 8. If i get home before that--we'll have something fast but homemade.)

I always get such great ideas in here. I decided I want to play too. I just have a plan on what I'm going to make - don't know what night I'm making it yet.

Kung Pao chicken stir fry with peppers and summer squash
Grilled Tilapia with sauteed summer squash
Tossed green salads topped with crab cakes
Stuffed peppers with salad

I got two bags of salad mix and a bag of yellow and green summer squash from my mom over the weekend. I'm trying desperately to use it up this week before we leave for Orlando on Saturday.

Had to make a slight adjustment on the schedule this week. When I made it, I had no plans today. Well, now I have a meeting with the lawyer who is helping me with mom's estate and probate at 3PM. The soup is just too time intensive (especially for the first time making it) to do around that, so just shifting some stuff. Plus, tomorrow is supposed to be really cold so staying home sounds awesome!

Tuesday: Eggs, steak, and hash browns
Wednesday: Butternut Squash Soup and Biscuits
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Pizza (Mushrooms (different kinds), roasted red peppers, roasted garlic, kale, mozzarella cheese, and goat cheese)
Saturday: Lamb Chops, roasted vegetables (Brussels sprouts, carrots, and potatoes)
Sunday: Alfredo with Shrimp, Roasted Red Peppers, and Peas with Garlic Bread

BTW, if I can get happy thoughts and crossed fingers for me today. I am going to find out all my legal avenues with this. I am stuck selling a house that has already been on the market for 60+ days with no nibbles. I NEED to get on with my life, move, and get a job which I can't if I am stuck with this dang house.

Wednesday : Slow cooker roast ( I will never cook roast any other way , it's THAT good.)
Martha Stewart recipe here : http://www.marthastewart.com/313619/slow-cooker-pot-roast

I am going to have to try a roast in the slow cooker. Last time I did it in the oven I overcooked it and the thing was dry and blah. So, gonna try a slow cooker method sometime soon.

Also, thanks for the recipe site. Will check it out. I always LOVE new recipes especially these days when I am looking for recipes that are "safe" for me to eat with my medical problems!

I have been doing good at eating at home lately. We have had chicken and dumplings, tacos, french toast, etc.

Tonight is pepper steak stir fry with rice.

 

[Mom21]

Crock pot roast, mashed potatoes, honey glazed carrots, and fresh baked artisan bread. I'm already hungry. It smells so good in here.

 

[meajuly5]

Mon: pineapple glazed pork chops, roasted Brussel sprouts and rice
Tues: baked chicken, brocolli and egg noodles
Thurs: probably pasta with turkey meatballs
Wednesday: tortellini soup

Hi all! My first time posting on this board. I never have time to cook during the week (I get home from work at 5 and DS goes to bed at about 6:30, so I'd be cooking the whole time with no chance to play with him!), but I've been trying to plan crockpot meals every Saturday and Sunday, and frequently those leftovers will get me halfway through the week anyway, and the rest I supplement with Lean Cuisines. I have scoured pinterest and have found excellent, tried-and-true chicken recipes that even my extremely picky DH approves of. This weekend I am going to make some Cafe Rio Chicken (http://www.chef-in-training.com/2011/09/cafe-rio-chicken/), but I want to try something new for the other night. Anyone have some good chicken or pork recipe recommendations? Preferably something from the crockpot? DH won't eat vegetables, so I usually just make the meat and roast myself some veggies separately with some olive oil. He also hates Mexican food, so any kind of chili, tacos, etc. is out as well.

Update my menu

Fingers Crossed Lily

going to check out some of the links posted above!

here is my Mac & Cheese recipe if anyone wants it :

it is NOT low fat.. but its GOOOOOOD

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
1/2 soup can milk (I use 1%)
2 cups shredded cheddar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard - or a few good shakes
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups cooked and drained Elbows (I use dreamfields)
1 sleeve of crushed Ritz crackers (I have been using the everything ones lately YUM)
2 teaspoons butter, melted

Heat the oven to 400°F.

Stir the soup, shredded cheese, dry mustard, milk, black pepper in a sauce pan on low to melt the shredded cheese
Add the pasta tossing to coat then pour into a 1.5 quart casserole or 9x13.
Mix the cracker crumbs and butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the pasta mixture. We like an even crust on the whole M & C so sometimes more crackers are required
Bake for 20 minutes or until the pasta mixture is hot and bubbling

bigsis1970 - your mac and cheese recipe sounds sooo good!! I do not have dry mustard - do you notice if that is missing from the dish? Thank you for sharing!!
