Eat at Home 3!

[Bellex917]

I'm doing a "low spend Q1" with the goal of using what we have. I will admit I DID stock up a bit in December to prepare, but stocked up on clearance finds and loss leaders at the grocery store, so my pantry and freezers are stocked!

Saturday (yesterday)- breakfast (bagels, bacon, fruit)
Tonight: little hot dogs (bought for NYE and never made them), salad, fries
Monday: smothered cheesy sour cream chicken, roasted potatoes, salad
Tuesday: Penne vodka, Caesar salad
Wed: BBQ chicken pizza, salad
Thur: spiral ham (frozen from Christmas- I have a lot left so this will be mentioned often lol), baked potatoes, cucumber salad
Fri: baked stuffed chicken breast (a frozen Tyson one- nothing fancy), garlic noodles, cucumber salad

Hoping this thread gets utilized again. I was looking for something to help me meal plan again!

Since I don’t assign days, I assign meals and pick the days as the week progresses.

Taco salad
Tuscan chicken
Talipia
Perogi
Brats
Spaghetti and meatballs
Steak bites

Have a wonderful week!

Please tell me more about that Tuscan chicken. What is it?

Our plan:

Chicken piccata and salad
Slow cooker beef stew
Potato pancakes
Chicken taco soup
Spaghetti puttanesca
Spinach quiche and salad

I don’t have a full week plan, but so far

Yesterday was polish sausage, pierogi, beets
Today baked pork chops, roasted butternut squash, green beans, applesauce
Monday we’ll eat out after an afternoon movie, using 1 of many gift cards we got for
Christmas.
Tuesday roast chicken, potatoes & carrots
Wednesday chicken noodle soup

The weather is supposed to get into the 40s Thursday & Friday, if it does turn out to be that nice, I might do burgers or steak on the grill.

We've got a basic plan.
Monday - something with hamburger meat because it expires Tuesday);
Tuesday - something with chicken;
Wednesday - pigs in a blanket;
Thursday - go back to the store for the next week.
Saturday - hopefully homemade potato soup.

I use the recipe from little sunny kitchen. It’s called instant pot Tuscan chicken. It’s very good.

I use a similar recipe, but its not with an insta pot. It really is so good.

i had my freezer somewhat whittled down leftover wise by mid December but now it's brimming again (purposely-i always get a bigger roast than we need, same with spiral ham). i'm grocery shopping Tuesday and buying just the odds and ends bare minimum (with a few frozen foods for quick use) to see how little I can buy and for how long.

only planned meal so far is tomorrow and tuesday-

monday-take stroganoff but instead of using noodles it will top a baked potato (loved these when we had a bj's restaurant near us)

tuesdays-good old shake and bake pork chops.

Rachel Ray Mama's Braciole leftover tomato sauce with pasta, it makes an amazing ragout
McCormick's Rosemary Pork Tenderloin with carrots and probably a side of cauliflower soup or the soup for lunch to be a side
I picked up some nice artichokes so I'll stuff those and add a protein of some kind, probably chicken or leftover meat
Hamburgers, I like McCormick's hamburger spice blend & I'll make a side of broccoli rabe sauted in garlic with cannellini beans
Sausage and cubanelle peppers on a roll with Goya Lentil soup or the soup for lunch to be a side
Home made chicken wings w Stonewall Kitchen Teriyaki sauce in a dipping bowl & baked potatoes
I picked up some Goya 16 bean soup so maybe I'll try that and chicken baked with some Trader Joes Soyaki Sauce

Sorry wrong post.

- Last night, DW made some type of homemade hamburger helper type stuff. It was really good. Noodles, cream cheese, milk, regular cheese and garlic powder. I am even going to go have some for lunch leftovers.
- Tonight will either be leftovers of that (if we have enough) or grilled chicken (not sure if fajitas or baked potatos);
- Wednesday is choir practice/bible study night, so it's YOYO night;
- And not sure about Thrusday yet. Might do pigs in a blanket and baked beans. Cheap, and we don't have to go to the store.
