Eat at Home 3!

[Arich01]

Just wanted to share with you all the cutest slow cooker I ordered today. It is a Pixar slow cooker. It is sold at JCPenny of all places. Here is the link- http://www.jcpenney.com/disney-pixa...et=UTF-8&colorizedImg=DP1222201517045516M.TIF

Just a little bit of Disney cuteness in my kitchen

Omg I NEED this! Super cute! I use my crock pot at least 2 to 3 times a week... this would make me smile every time!

We're pretty good at adding/changing our menus to reflect what's on sale at our grocery stores. We have 3 different grocery stores all within a short distance (2 across the street from each other...lol) so we can look at their adverts ahead of time to make choices. We get their emails on Fridays for sales that start Sunday, so we can plan our purchases a few days ahead. This weeks "sales" were seasoned whole chickens, cabbage, potatoes,

Last night: Buttered cabbage with turkey bacon & noodles
Tonight: Whole chicken, stuffing & vegetable
Wed: Leftovers (maybe make chicken tacos/or salad with leftover chicken)
Thurs: Stuffed Baked Potatoes & salad
Friday: Potstickers & spring rolls
Sat: Likely pizza
Sun: Roast, potatoes, vegetable

We always have something fresh with every meal, usually salad, but lately we've been on a green bean kick. Trying out recipes to make the beans in different ways. Days we don't have a plan or get delayed & eat late we throw together something like veggies & dip with pita & hummus. We always have a supply of hummus, salsa & veggies in the fridge.

I seriously just replaced my crock pot like 3 months ago but I really think I'm going to have to have the cute Pixar slow cooker. I think it would help to motivate me to cook at home instead of getting take out in order to put some extra $ in the Disney fund.

 

[westcoastfldisneygirl]

I changed my mind for dessert this week. I decided to make No Bake Oreo truffles instead of brownies.

http://www.thecomfortofcooking.com/2013/12/easy-no-bake-oreo-truffles.html

but I used all 'regular' oreos and instead of sprinkles I topped them with the remaining crumbs at the bottom of the cookie container.

I'm back to doing major meal planning since Spring sports are starting and life's about to become a lot more hectic. To make planning easier, I've assigned a "theme" for each day of the week, for example, Tuesday's and Thursday's we are all running in different directions so those are slow cooker and casserole nights, Monday's "international" day, Friday's pizza day, etc. Here's our plan for the next 2 weeks.

Monday - shredded beef enchiladas, Spanish rice and Mexican corn
Tuesday - chicken tetrazzini casserole
Wednesday - chicken francese with linguine
Thursday - pulled pork sandwiches, baked potatoes
Friday - pepperoni and cheese Stromboli, salad
Saturday - chicken and waffles (this was a request from ds)
Sunday - DD has team basketball party, boys get leftovers
Monday - chicken lo mein
Tuesday - my birthday so probably dinner out
Wednesday - chicken Parmesan, garlic bread, salad
Thursday - Reuben casserole, salad
Friday - pizza
Saturday - burgers and chicken breast on the grill, pasta salad
Sunday - sirloin steak, twice baked potatoes, asparagus

 

[Jake&IzzyLand]

This week will include black bean and corn quesadillas, one pot taco spaghetti, sheet pan chicken dinner, buffalo chicken strips over salad, dorito taco salad and another round of quesadillas.

I'm late, on Sunday DH decided that he wants to try Atkins. I'm supposed to be on a low sat and trans fat diet for my high cholesterol and really couldn't face all that meat anyway so it looks like there will be quite a few His and Hers meals. For the record, DH is NOT a veggie guy so there will also be a lot of salad. Yesterday I spent 3 hours reading labels in various grocery stores.


Sunday (Pre-Atkins)
We went to a craft fair and had fair food (jambalaya and roast pork poboys) for a late lunch, too full for dinner.

Monday
Okay, so DH has decided that he wants to try Atkins. I'm supposed to be cutting back on fat. It looks like we'll be doing His and Hers menus.
Me: grilled halibut, grilled zucchini and tomatoes
DH: grilled halibut, salad of lettuce and cheese

Tuesday
Me: grilled pork chop, baked potato, spinach salad w/apples and walnuts
DH: grilled pork chops, grilled smoked sausage, green salad

Wednesday
I'll be at my father's house 90 miles away all day so something quick!
Blackened Shrimp
Me: grilled veggies, avocado, tortillas and "Mexican" rice
DH: salad

Thursday
Stir fried chicken tenderloins with onions and peppers
Me: rice, green beans w/almonds
DH: green beans w/bacon

Friday
TBD

Saturday
BYO barbeque with the neighbors. I'm bringing a corn casserole for everyone else which neither of us can have. I'll probably buy a steak for DH and fish for me.

There is a book called The Belly Fat Cure that is a great book with great ideas. It isn't full on Atkins but has some of the same principles. You might find some items in there that are good for you both.
