So, weather is ruining the "going out for birthday" plans for this weekend...sigh, 2 weeks in a row and no cooking breaks, but we will celebrate this birthday. Anyway, b/c weather is coming, I got all my weekly shopping done, so I have plans and here they are...

2. Birthday Dinner - Make Your Own Beef Nachos (Taco Ground Meat, Refried Beans, Cheese, Homemade Guac, Salsa, Vegan and Normal Sour Cream, Lettuce, Cilantro), Sliced Oranges, Agua De Tuna (I got prickly pears today, so I'm gonna make this as an extra birthday treat - https://dorastable.com/agua-de-tuna-prickly-pear-juice/ (I've never eaten them, but what the hey)
3. Honey Mustard Baked Chicken, Duck Fat Roasted Potatoes, Honey Mustard Roasted Broccoli, Sliced Apples
4. BBQ Pork Tenderloin, Kale Salad Bag, More Red and Green Grapes, Apple Cinnamon Muffins
5. Homemade Chicken Fried Rice, Homemade Baba Ghanouj with Celery/Carrots/Chips, Persimmon Apple Crisp

Homemade sauce meatballs Italian sausage pasta for him zoodles for me
Pork chops rice or noodles side veggie from freezer
Ham steak left over rice or noodles side for him veggie from freezer
Stuffed chicken in the air fryer rice veggie from freezer veggie burgers for me
Breakfast for dinner
Chicken teriyaki stir fry casserole

We are at the point where we keep a monthly menu on the fridge. We can switch around days if we feel like something else but we keep dinners with similar ingredients together so there is less food waste (fried rice and pulled pork both use coleslaw mix).
Mon - chicken, and potatoes with roasted turnips
Tues - green tomato soup with grilled cheese
Wed - chili on rice side of guac
Thurs - salmon patties on rice side of guac
Friday - soup night (take your pick from freezer or ramen and spinach)

Hello all. Work was crazy busy the last few weeks and coming up with dinners felt exhausting. I still ate at home but it was uninspiring. So here is the plan for this week

Last night was a big tossed salad with leftover chicken
Tonight I had a small steak with roasted potatoes and broccoli

My other ideas are
Spaghetti squash with sweet Italian chicken sausage and salad
Apple cider beef stew over noodles
Buffalo chicken pizza
Leftover night

I haven't posted in a really, really long time (like years). We went to HHI the first week of January. I am trying to do Weight Watchers again, so meal planning is a must so I can stay on track. This is what we ate 1/10-1/17:

Sunday - Roasted chicken (made in rotisserie), mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts
Monday - Beef with broccoli over brown rice https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a8459/jadens-beef-with-broccoli/
Tuesday - Pioneer Woman Cajun Chicken pasta (made with whole wheat pasta instead white) https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a10338/cajun-chicken-pasta/
Wednesday - Roasted Greek style chicken and vegetables, served with millet https://www.weightwatchers.com/us/recipe/roasted-greek-style-chicken-and-vegetables/5626a63ff79cf9120df3b60a
Thursday - ate out, just my daughter and I
Friday - Pampered Chef General Tso Stir Fry, brown rice https://www.pamperedchef.com/pws/blattig/recipe/Main+Dishes/30+Minutes+or+Less/General+Tso+Chicken+Stir-Fry/1500003
Saturday - pork tenderloin, green beans, acorn squash, homemade sweet potato fries (I seasoned the pork with smoked Applewood seasoning, seared it for a couple minutes on all sides, added a splash of broth and some fresh cut green beans and cooked it in the quick cooker on the beef/pork setting for 8 minutes)
Sunday - turkey burger, homemade fries, salad

I will post what we had this past week and then maybe I can start posting what I plan on having, lol

The weight watchers chicken looks.fantastic!! So does the Cajun chicken pasta. Love the new meals ideas. Going to definitely make the we chicken. The Cajun chicken pasta would be fantastic for a girls lunch I would like to have when this vivid mess calms down.

thank you everyone for posting!! Love all of your menus!! I am getting some great ideas.

Okay, so another week and another plan...again, now putting numbered days, b/c this is easier for me to just pick and choose based on how I'm feeling...(changed super bowl plan to later chili/wings and different food tonight b/c I want the fish)...

1. Fresh baked salmon with honey dijon sauce, bakery pretzel bites with same sauce, clementines and grapes
2. Homemade pizzas (dairy and dairy free) on Brooklyn Bred crust (great sale - 1st time I'm trying it) - toppings - roasted onion, roasted peppers, bacon bits, BBQ sauce, tomato sauce, cheese and fake cheese, pineapple, ham - green salad, sliced plums
3. Black bean, pumpkin, and sweet potato vegan chili with tortilla chips/diced avocado/ fake and real sour cream/cheese for toppings, banana chocolate chip homemade muffins
4. Egg roll bowls with ground pork, coleslaw mix, more grated carrots, spinach, wonton crisp topping, and the sauce over microwave rice bags, pineapple and banana in coconut milk
5. Aldi's Gluten Free General Tso's chicken bites, eggplant/onion/pepper stir fry, more rice bags
6. Friend hosting us for pre-valentine dinner (we bring the homemade beer)
7. Leftovers or "Something on a bun" with fruit salad and fry bag

No eating out this week b/c we won't pay the Valentine premium next weekend...so we may go double the following week (or somewhere "nicer" than normal)...

Thank you.

It's just me that I cook for and due to my health issues, I don't want to have to cook every night. I simply don't have the energy for it! So I always plan meals around how many days it will cover and slip them into my week. I usually do fish on Saturdays and a big meal on Sundays that will cover multiple days. Then whatever needs to be done. I keep it simple. Otherwise I will end up ordering in because I don't have the energy or time.

 

[lisam427]

added hamsteak as we are having that tonight. we had porkchops last night. ive looking at other areas of this board and found some great stuff. there is an area with recipes. i found disney recipes, crockpot, and recipes for everything you can imagine. also found a weightloss and exercise area that i am now posting on in these boards. i used to post on other weight loss boards but a lot of people on there do strict keto. wanted to avoid getting blasted for doing something different. I believe the weightloss stuff in the wish area of these boards. the recipes have their own section here.

planning on a trip to universal possibly in 2022 with my husband, daughter, and two grandchildren. need to stay on budget with food and not eat out to pay for it. also would like to get leaner and thinner before my trip. hope everyone is having a good day. keep those menus coming! i love the new ideas!!
