Eat at Home 3!

[Arich01]

Hi! Here's my plan for Thanksgiving week:

Sunday: I made a big pot of chili, only enough left for 1 person! (must have been good!)
Monday: Leftovers from our lunch at Olive Garden on Saturday. Making some pumpkin bread and some cookies today.
Tuesday: Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken with fried rice http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2012/03/baked-sweet-and-sour-chicken-recipe.html
Wednesday:
Thursday: My kiddo has a football tournament, probably go to Dad's for Thanksgiving dinner after
Friday: We're hosting friends for Thanksgiving, turkey, ham, mashed taters, dressing, green bean casserole, and pies
Saturday: Leftovers, maybe turkey pot pie if I'm ambitious

 

[stayhomemom77]

Today-beef stew in the crockpot (I'm betting the kids will turn up their noses at this. If so, cereal for them! LOL)
Tues-leftovers (pancakes for the kids if they won't eat the stew)
Wed-pork chops, twice baked potatoes, broccoli (grilled cheese sammies for the kids)
Thurs-beef tacos, refried beans, taco salad
Fri-packed dinner (travelling out of town so a sort of picnic meal in the car en route)
Sat-dinner out with my mom
Sun-pasta

I would really like to go out or order in all this week, but that would be money better spent on all of our fun christmas activities that I have planned. Gotta stay on budget!

Monday- taco night with homemade guacamole and tex mex rice

Tuesday - homemade chicken nuggets, rice pilaf and fruit salad.

Wednesday - throwing together a couple of easy style pizzas using Pillsbury for the crust.

Thursday - turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, sweet potatoes, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, rolls, pumpkin pie and apple cake. So looking forward to it all!

Friday- leftovers

Saturday - turkey and rice soup

Sunday- hopefully there is more for today!

So far I am doing awful this week. Hoping to do better later in the week though.

Sunday-Returned from WDW so ate out
Monday-went to go shopping and got a call DD was in an accident with the DGSs and ended up eating out after that.
Tuesday-going back shopping to hopefully have no more accidents so will eat out.
Wednesday-getting ready for Thursday, so probably spaghetti
Thursday-turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn, beans, gravy, rolls, sweet potato casserole, pecan pies
Friday-left overs with turkey sandwiches-BF shopping
Saturday-left over hot plates from Thursday

Sat - Fried Chicken, Macaroni Salad, Clementines
Sun - Chicken Tacos, Black Beans, Sliced Pears/Apples
Mon - Chicken Pot Pie (with Onions, Carrots, Carrot Tops, Bok Choy, Peas, Bacon) and Spinach Salad with dried cranberries, apples, and warm bacon dressing
Tues - Deluxe Cheeseburgers (with any leftover bacon), Potato Salad, Clementines, Pumpkin Pie Slushies
Wed - Frozen Pizza (I'll be cooking all day, so this is easy night), Roasted Broccoli, Apple Slices
Thurs - Thanksgiving (Turkey, Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, Fall Salad, Sweet Potato Pie, and Pumpkin Pie)
Fri - Homemade Pasta Alfredo topped with broccoli rabe and roasted white mushrooms (leftover turkey added for meat eaters)
Sat - Thanksgiving Leftovers (or Out, if we don't have any)

Changed up today and yesterday - since I made beef tacos yesterday, I didn't have leftover chicken...so today, I'm making Smothered Pork Chops (with onion, celery, mushrooms, carrot tops, herbs, loads of black pepper and sour cream) over mashed potatoes with the salad. If I have enough, I'll eat the leftovers tomorrow with mashed sweet potatoes (if not, I'll stick with frozen pizza). This was a better plan anyway since I've had more pot pies and chicken than pork lately (in fact, this is a new recipe for me...at least kinda...

Congrats on the new job!!!

Thank you! I'm super excited about it. It's visitor services and security at a Children's Museum. So it should be a ton of fun.

Tuesday - homemade coconut chicken tenders, pasta roni, jasmine rice and green beans

Stupid question, but how do you make coconut chicken tenders? They sound good, but I never thought about making them.

 

[bigsis1970]

@LilyWDW I mix Panko, shredded sweet coconut and some season salt in a baggie and shake them all up (and press it on) then bake in the oven on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.. ps your new job does sound FUN!

It's getting harder and harder to cook for this family!! I have to eat gluten free, the hubs follows a low carb diet M-F (although only when it suits him...he took this past week off so I had to come back here Tuesday night and edit my entries because the menu changed ) and the kids are so finicky they almost NEVER eat what's on the menu. I may make a turkey bacon lasagna with GF noodles for myself for the weekend. I'm not a big fan of pasta but I can't eat what they are having and I have those ingredients on hand. I also planned on making a big batch of baked beans this week (actually I've been meaning to make them for about a month but haven't gotten around to it yet ) but I don't know if I should if DH won't be eating them.

I don't know for sure what nights he will be cooking this week. Exams start tomorrow and I don't know if he'll be home to cook all of his usual nights. Or any of his usual nights. I know when the exams ARE, but not what days he's going in to work to mark or go to meetings.

So....I may be back here to edit this entry, just like last week!
