Okay, so the boys conned me into fried chicken, so we'll save bacon, eggs, veg for tomorrow...here are the extra meals for the week (and the ones done)...
Done
1. Roasted pork loin over crockpot Indian dahl with veg over rice with blueberries and grapes (dahl was such a homerun, I bought 3 more seasoning packers and another bag of lentils)
To Do
2. Safeway Cheap Chicken Monday Fried Chicken, Roasted Asaparagus, Strawberries, Homemade Garlic Bread
3. Eggs with Veg Topping, Bacon, Waffles, Strawberries and Blueberries
4. Another cross between a Cioppino/Fish Pasta dish - bought another jar of sauce - this time, frozen whiting and canned chopped clams and sardines were on an amazing sale at Safeway, so some form of those 3 plus tons of veg (I have eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, and tomato will go in) will go in to be served over orzo with Clementines
5. Chicken Pad Thai (somehow, we missed this last week - my girls' had to cook when I got my shingrix shot and they decided to just pick up rotisserie chickens and french bread - which is why I still had french bread for the cioppino - so I may try to get them to make this again), Green Salad with Sesame dressing
6. Homemade pizza - I bought anchovies today, so this could be a Friday option if kids want the fish pasta sooner, Fruit Smoothies
7. Out
Okay, skipped the out day today and am making a Crockpot Korean Beef and Veg (this time with chinese cauliflower, shredded carrot, celery, bell pepper, onion, green onion, ginger, and enoki mushrooms) over rice with sliced naval oranges. So, that's last week's "day out" meal. Although, I talked about taking my spouse to trivia on Monday, so I may lay in a "cheese meal" for a 6th meal, and my spouse can take me out (or I'll scrounge for me). So, that's today, here are my other 6 meals through next Saturday (and next Saturday, my friend is cooking, so that's technically out
). Ps - I did salmon last night vs cioppino b/c I was at Hmart for a run and fresh fish can't be beat
...
1. BBQ Ribs (emptying my freezer), Coleslaw, Cheddar Biscuits (for the fam), Strawberries
2. Chicken Fajitas with onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and dice avocado and the fixings, Roasted Pineapple
3. Cheese Ravioli (emptying my freezer and trivia night
), Tomato Sauce, Bluberries and Strawberries
4. Chicken and Veg Madras Curry (I have a jar to try - we've never tried this sauce type - I'll pick veg once I taste it) over Rice with Coconut stewed Pineapple and Bananas
5. Safeway Cheap Cioppino (I skipped that last week to get the fresh fish, so it's coming back here b/c I'm ready for it
), Orzo, Clementines
6. Bag dinner or Leftover Main Dish with Homemade dairy free fresh spinach and jarred artichoke dip with chips (kids LOVED my last version - now to remember what I did b/c I pretty much took a recipe and changed 1/2 of it
), fruit smoothies
7. Dinner at my friend's
So, another 2 weeks, and if we skip trivia, no meal out. I need to rack these up and spend them on my vacation this summer
...but I'm leaning trivia (although even when we go to trivia, I usually do one apple cider and a basket of just fried potato chips, usually having a salad at home b/c I can't wait til 7pm to eat - aka, with allergies and illness, I'm now a cheap date
...or a really expensive one - but at trivia, it's easier cheap
)...
I'm headed to the Asian market tomorrow, because I'm really craving some fresh wide noodles. But here's the plan (I have 1 pound of Thai basil, so it's heavily Thai oriented) . .
