jeninok Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Trying to plan our dinners this week, and feeling totally uninspired! My week also looks like this :willy_nilly: Anyone want to share their fabulous ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Sunday - meatloaf, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots Monday - creamy chicken enchiladas, rice, beans, salad Tuesday - leftovers/soup & sandwich night Wednesday - pulled pork sandwiches Thursday - pick up meal. Haven't decided. It's V-day, but our busy day, too. Friday - spaghetti & meatballs, bread, salad Saturday - probably pizza. We have guesties and need to stop buying food so we can empty our cabinets. We leave for a short trip a few days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelle in MO Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'm behind in planning out the week! Gotta get organized and go to the store today. One thing I have in mind for this week is beef bourguignon. Oh, and spaghetti. (Thanks for the reminder, Lily Grace! Great menu list, too, by the way.)

jeninok Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 How do you cook your pork tenderloin? I love to do it on the grill, but we don't have it set up at our new house. I made one in the oven last week and it was good, but not fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cottonmama Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Tuesday: Crock pot beef stew Wednesday: leftovers Thursday: Breakfast for dinner Friday: Frozen pizza or leftovers Saturday: Potluck with friends Sunday: Eat out, or potluck leftovers Monday: Sausage pasta (spaghetti and meat sauce, with easy homemade chicken sausage) At the beginning of the year I developed a template for my meal plans, so that we cook every other night (in general -- our potluck this week is an exception) and have a two-week rotation that looks something like this: Sunday: Roast chicken or baked chicken pieces or baked ziti Tuesday: Crock pot beef stew or pot roast or chili Thursday: Tacos Saturday: Chicken & dumplings or shepherd's pie or breakfast for dinner Monday: Pasta w/ made-ahead, frozen meat (sausage pasta, chicken parmesan, spaghetti & meatballs, fettucini alfredo) Wednesday: Crock pot chicken (we like thighs) Friday: Hamburger macaroni or sauteed chicken breasts or Greek pitas I've worked it out so that our busier days have easier meals, and on days when we need to be somewhere in the evening, or when my dh gets home later, I plan crockpot meals. That way I can meal plan every other week and just need to decide, for instance, which of the three Friday meals we will have. And I have some built-in variety that takes some of the decision-making out of meal planning. Beef is expensive here, so this plan also allows us have beef regularly but infrequently. I prepare make-ahead things every Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
