What is for dinner this week?

[tink_n_pooh]

My goal for this week is to plan out what we will be having for dinner in advance. Maybe if I'm good I will actually use up some of the frozen stuff in the freezer yeah, obviously I'm not much of a planner.

So what are you making for dinner this week??

 

[shortbun]

I plan to go through the cupboards this afternoon to find at least two meals in there.
Right now, I plan to have tacos, pork chops, coconut coated baked chicken. We'll get pizza Thursday because I'm having a meeting here. I'm tired of the old stand bys. Inspire me somebody and I'm officially off pasta as an entree.

I'm new to menu planning as well, only been at it a couple of months. Next week I have planned:

Monday: spaghetti and cheese bread
Tuesay: Shepherds pie (using shredded beed)
Wednesday: shredded buffalo chicken sandwiches
Thursday: no plan (bowling night and DH isn't home)
Friday: Sandwiches (ordered from a fundraiser)
Saturday: Jamaican Pork Tenderloin
Sunday: Beef Bourgunion (in the slow cooker)'

Plans changed already. Tonight's dinner, Teryiaki chicken has been moved to tomorrow. We can have spaghetti anytime. DD went out for the evening so we're having yesterday's leftovers-mac & cheese and bbq pulled pork sandwiches.

Would you mind sharing the recipe for the coconut baked chicken? That sounds yummy!

Would you mind sharing the recipe for the coconut baked chicken? That sounds yummy!

I clean and dry pieces of chicken. I season them with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Then I shake them in a bag with Panko and coconut-like Shake and Bake. Put them on a baking sheet(I use parchment paper for everything I bake these days-it
s an economic/environmental trade when it comes to cleaning) and bake at 375 for about 40 minutes or until the pieces run clear. I don't use a wash, the Panko and coconut sticks pretty well. I use thighs and small breasts. It's good. The Panko makes it crisp and the coconut adds a sweetness to it. I LOVE coconut!! (forgot to say that the chicken has skin on.)

sounds easy peasy, I will do it ! I do the same thing with panko and macadamia nuts , heck I could add coconut to that too : ).

The soup sounds good!

This week:
Sunday Crockpot chicken with noddles and white sauce. I will use the extra chicken for chicken salad for lunches.
Monday: Tacos (cook extra hamburger for tomorrow)
Tuesday: Sloppy Joes
Wednesday: Baked chicken and dressing (make extra)
Thursday: BBQ Chicken Wraps
Friday: soup and grilled cheese
Saturday: kids are having friends over - probably pizza or maybe BBQ (I shop on Saturday)

I have a little more time between work and evening stuff on Monday and Wednesday so I try to purposely plan to make extra to use on Tuesday and Thursday.

I am trying a new thing this month. I made a list of about 15 meals that we like, some new some standbys, and plan on shopping at BJ's as soon as the snow lets up for it all. Then hopefully I can go to the store for fresh fruit and veggies once a week and bread and milk/juice halfway through the month. My problem is running in for milk and running out $50 lighter. Doing that once or twice a week is killing my budget.

Chicken Cordon Bleu with creamy wine sauce, rice pilaf and veggie
Cheese enchilada's with rice and refried beans (from scratch)
Spaghetti and meatballs, bread, salad
rotisserise chicken, mashed potatoes and veggie

Dh is traveling so that's pretty much it for the week right now.

Shepherds pie with shredded beef? How do you make that? I like the idea of shepherds pie but I won't eat ground beef (or ground anything for that matter, it's a texture thing).

Would you share the recipe for the beef bourgunion too?

We get ideas from http://eatathomecooks.com on the Weekly Menu. If you want to use all of the suggested meals for that week, she has a grocery shopping list as well.

Would you share the recipe for the beef bourgunion too?

I was searching online yesterday for recipes, since I have 4 beef roasts in the freezer. Most of them are for "leftovers". I'll cook it off in the crock-pot all day (probably with onion soup mix) and when I get home I'll pull it apart and layer it in a casserole dish with vegetables and mashed potatoes, baking it long enough to heat the veggies and brown the potatoes.

 

[katie26]

yesterday: kale, apple, cheddar, pecan salad (NY Times recipe)
today: Ina Garten's weeknight bolognese
tomorrow: Ina Garten's lentil salad
tuesday: pappardelle with ricotta cheese and sauteed swiss chard
wednesday: roasted chicken breast, roasted potatoes and carrots
