Eat at Home 3!

[melissalee]

Week 3 of planing for me. Making life easier for this 2 RN household. Working 12 hour shifts doesn't leave a lot of time for last minute thinking of a meal and cooking it. Plus only having to run to the grocery once a week saves a ton of time.

Sunday- homemade pizza with trader joes whole wheat crust and salad
Monday- tacos for cinco de mayo!
Tuesday- prob Popeyes for DH and chicken hotdog with zucchini for me
Wednesday- some type of Chicken breast Thursday- pork chops
Friday- Fish
Saturday- Date night!!

I made crock pot Chicken Cacciatore on Friday, Salisbury Steaks with mushroom gravy and garlic mashed potatoes last night, and am making a quiche for breakfast this morning. You can find all of these on my blog. Happy weekend everyone!

Today- BBQ/pool party for star wars day so I volunteered to make the side. Mac n cheese
Monday - skinny taste (it's weight watchers friendly but so delish my family requests it over the full fat recipe) arroz con pollo and fried platano maduros.
Tuesday - red beans and rice (meatless meal) with tostones
Wednesday - mashed potatoes, corn, roasted chicken breasts
Thursday - leftovers/clean out the fridge day.
Friday - having family over, making pasta a la Betsy from the pioneer woman. But I'm allergic to shrimp so I substitute browned chicken breasts and then slice them up to lox in the pasta. The sauce is sooooo delish! I'm serving it with campanelle pasta.

I have just overhauled our budget and I was MORTIFIED to see how much money we were wasting on food. I did a complete inventory of the fridge/freezer and pantry, went shopping for a few staples and this is what we have for the week:

Sunday: Meat Sauce (over pasta for my son, over zucchini for me and hubby) and salad
Monday: Hubby is out of town, so we are going to have breakfast for dinner: Eggs and Bacon, son will also have mini pancakes
Tuesday: Baked chicken, grilled asparagus, salad (son will have a baked potato too)
Wednesday: Chili and a salad (I made the chili tonight at the same time that I made the meat sauce)
Thursday: Mexican fiesta with the leftover chicken (shredded and seasoned) and Chili. Hubby and I will have it on taco (shell-less) salads and son will have it with tortilla chips.
Friday: Orange Chicken and oriental veggies, son will also have rice.

My hubby and I are on South Beach and I have a 13 year old. I try to modify most of our meals for him by adding in a carb.

I'm new here, but like Lees3rwe I am frustrated with how much I'm spending at the grocery store each month. During summer month I do really well planning lunches for my 3 kids plus the 2 that I babysit daily, so I'm starting it for dinners year round too. Hoping to shave down that grocery bill through less trips.

Sun- chicken pot pies
Mon- pasta night with meatballs and salad
Tues- pork chops, potaoes, green beans
Wed- dinner out, school function.
Thurs- supposed to be really warm here( for a change) BB-que chicken on grill.
Fri- DH night to work. Kids and I will have breakfast for dinner

Plans changed tonight and we ended up having roast beef sandwiches, pasta salad, and watermelon.

My whole menu will be tweaked this week. One of my co-workers/ good friends had a small stroke yesterday and needs to be off. I am picking up extra hours to help out.

 

[stayhomemom77]

We had a change as well...

Last night DH didn't fancy having Mexican inspired food so soon so we used the ground beef for hamburger helper stroganoff instead.

I believe the rest of the week will stay the same though.

What is cowboy casserole?

 

[wishesuponastar]

I first heard of "cowboy casserole" in this thread from Oopsidaisy.
http://amandascookin.com/2008/09/cowboy-casserole.html

For the tomatoes, I used one large can (28 oz?) of crushed tomatoes. I used red-skinned potatoes.
I cooked it in the crockpot for 3 hours on high then 3 hours on low.

Dinner last night was Swiss Chalet delivery and the frozen pizza was tonight.
