Mon - Mini taco's, cheese dip, bean dip, and salsa
Tues - Meatloaf, mash potatoes, and a veggie
Wed - Ham and Beans, cornbread
Thurs - Scrambled eggs, sausage, toast and mixed fruit. DD and I have to be at the dance studio by 6:30, so this is the quickest meal we have.
Fri and Sat - DH and I are outta town, don't have confirmed plans yet.
Sun - Roast with cabbage, onions, potatoes, and carrots.

I'm in a rut too.

Yesterday, DH grilled a brisket so I put the leftovers in the crockpot with BBQ Sauce so we have BBQ sandwiches to eat. We also roasted a chicken so we have that to eat too. I need ideas on what to do with the meat. I'll boil down the rest to make soup for DD.

Monday - scouts - BBQ sandwiches with potato salad and coleslaw. Maybe salad. Freeze the extra for later
Tuesday - halloween shopping for DS - something with the chicken breast. Maybe chicken tacos or quesadillas
Wednesday - golf - this is a toughy since we don't get home until 5, maybe the soup
Thursday - football practice, DD gets fed 'picnic style' at pratice, DS will eat a light meal before and then we'll pick up something on the way home
Friday - no clue
Sat - no clue, that is garage sale day and DS has a Halloween party so likely something in the crock pot.
Sunday - maybe chili or something since DS's football game is in the middle of the day

real exciting, I know!

3 of these are new recipes. I am having the same problem as you, Tina. I am reaaalllly bored with the same old same old, so I made sure to plan meals this week. Not to mention I need to make food that the kids will eat and make it weight watchers friendly.

I don't usually plan out our meals anymore. DH is out of town for work most of the time so it's just me and DS. We kind of wing it. But I can give you a couple of suggestions that we really like:

Tuna Spaghetti

a big glug of olive oil in a deep pan
3 or so cloves of chopped garlic- cook slowly over a gentle heat until golden
add a big handful of chopped fresh parsley - cook for a minute
add a large can of diced tomatoes with the juice, turn up the heat a bit to medium high - simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add a can of tuna (drained)( you can add two if you want as the original recipe does call for 10 oz of tuna) - keep simmering for another 5 min.
Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup butter (not margarine)
Combine and correct for salt and pepper.

If you like salmon this next one is amazing, I made it for a date night with 'ma sweetie' . It is called Bloody Mary Salmon - you are basically using all the ingredients of a Bloody Mary and poaching the salmon in it. I actually used Mott's Clamato juice instead of tomato juice and added a dash of celery salt. I served it with a crusty bread and a salad.

I make everything up as I go along. We're on a low carb diet so here's what we're doing so far.

last night we had breakfast. Scrambled egg beaters, bacon and french toast made out of my homemade almost NO carb bread.

Tonight low carb Pizza made on low carb pizza crust. Probably a white pizza

Tomorrow night I teach cake decorating at 6:30 so we're each on our own.

Wednesday possibly a sausage and peppers "pasta" over spaghetti squash?

 

[KAMKIM]

monday - fried chicken, corn, mashed potatoes
Tuesday Spaghetti
Wednesday hot dogs, french fries, beans
thursday burgers, chicken flavored rice, mixed veggies
Friday left overs
Saturday ordering out - Halloween party, probably pizza/wings

 

[Janet Hill]

Tonight low carb Pizza made on low carb pizza crust. Probably a white pizza

We are a low carb family by necessity. My husband is a type 1 and my son was just recently diagnosed. So if you could share info on this I would appreciate it.

Do you buy low carb crusts or do you make it?

If you make it, could you share your recipe? If you buy what brand?

Thanks
