HappyGrace Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Need to get my creative juices flowing for my grocery list, instead of the same old things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm trying to use up things that have been on the shelves or in the freezer for awhile. Also finally having some success in keeping the monthly grocery total under budget--June and July were crazy! So probably looking at: spaghetti with homemade marinara grilled chicken and maybe a baked ziti or pasta salad side (lots of pasta here) red beans and rice with sausage ebelskivers with bacon, fruit (I make them about once a year, usually August, just for fun) flank steak, rice, and salad tonight steak tacos with leftover steak tomorrow night maybe pad thai? maybe a night out for pizza after soccer practice.

LucyStoner Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 First we are going to work through the huge pan of red lentils, raisins and greens I made this afternoon. Once we are lentil-ed and leftover-ed out we will have: Potato Zucchini Pancakes and applesauce BBQ Chicken Pizza Minestrone Soup Curried squash and carrot soup Teriyaki Chicken and vegetables Also, we will be eating Rainbow Chard in or with everything all week. I have a ton to use up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Sausage/fresh green beans & potatoes Shrimp(I've had this in the freezer a little while) Pasta/homemade sauce Homemade nuggets Smoked beef brisket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Chicken Broccoli Lo Mein (that was tonight) Green Pepper Chicken w/rice Breakfast (probably pancakes/eggs/bacon) Hamburgers Red Beans and Rice BBQ Pineapple Chicken Baked Nachos I'd kill for some lasagna or pizza. I can't eat tomato sauce while nursing or I get a screaming baby with reflux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Had to google eberskivers-YUM! Are you Danish? Not Danish, but I am Scandinavian (Norwegian and Swedish). I grew up in CA and visited Solvang, a touristy Danish city near Santa Barbara where I first had ebelskiver. Then around these parts, Junction City OR has a Scandinavian festival every August and they have booths that sell them. I bought an ebelskiver pan from a drug store there and the owners included a recipe. They're very yummy and fun to make, but not exactly health food! Hence the once-a-year schedule.

Ameena Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 No set menu here, but it will probably include: Lemon Chicken with rice & veggies {dd has her chicken without sauce} Spaghetti with hamburger steaks or meatballs Stoffers Chicken Alfredo {probably will fix this Monday night as we have a long day planned with errands Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. This gives us almost 3 meals, so leftovers are great!} hot dogs {tomorrow since I didn't cook them today} with Mac & cheese Fridge cleanout - aka whatever leftovers are in there on Friday when I clean the fridge.

Gentlemommy Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 We are moving soon, so I'm trying to use up what we have...hence the weird meals lol. Last night we had turkey mini hamburgers. No bread. We have in the freezer- Hot dogs, chicken nuggets, sweet potato and regular fries, frozen veggies for lunches. Ground beef and turkey (1 of each), chicken/pineapple/bacon sausage (2 packs), chicken breast (3 meals). Also have a bunch of turkeys and a ham, but I will be giving those away to friends and family. Think I'll do- Lemon and garlic chicken, buttered pasta with Normandy veg mix Sausage over rice, steamed broccoli Beef burritos Stir fry (using the chicken breasts) Chili (using the ground turkey) BBQ chicken...not sure on the sides...

Lisa in SC Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 We just got home from the grocery, so here's the plan. It's definitely not a healthy week, nor is it inspired: Chicken Spaghetti (Pioneer Woman), peas, and some kind of fruit or 2nd veggie Roast, potatoes, carrots, rolls...possibly some roasted brussels sprouts Shepherd's Pie made with leftovers from the roast, weird as it is, I'm indulging my youngest's request for corn as a side Potato Soup, grilled cheese, homemade applesauce Stuffed shells, huge green salad with lots of veggies, Italian herb bread We will have a leftover night and get take out or go for sushi one night, so that wraps up the week. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostSurprise Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Sunday: was supposed to be carbonara but that seemed too heavy (what was I thinking when I scheduled that in August? It must be a new recipe. We had a pasta salad with 3 strips of thick bacon, broccoli, olive oil, garlic, and aleppo pepper. Monday: tacos Tuesday: pasta faglioli in crockpot, bruchetta, antipasto (probably olives) Wednesday: baked ranchero eggs Thursday: baked (grilled?) fish packets, rice, veg Friday: usually pizza but we'll be traveling Some of these dinners are lighter, but I have pulled pork in the fridge for lunches and snacks.
