Annie G Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Made white chicken chili for me and dh to have for lunch for the next few days. S- butterbeans, rice, cornbread (Starch heaven but we love this meal!) M- spaghetti (sauce/meatballs already in freezer) and I'll make focaccia T- baked chicken, roasted veggies, new potatoes W- tacos T-Veggie night - green beans, broccoli and carrots, baked sweet potatoes F- chicken parmesan S-breakfast for dinner. Last week's report: stuck to the meal plan except one day we went to the movies and had snacks there, so when we got home at 6:30 nobody was hungry for dinner so I didn't cook.

Annie G Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Wednesday Unstuffed pepper soup using leftover rice from Monday and tomatoes I cooked up today Can you tell me how you make this? I looked on Pinterest for a recipe but found nothing. It sounds like something we'd love! I make soups- hearty ones- and dh and I have soup for lunch most days when it's cold. He comes home for lunch and we like a hot lunch but I'm usually just arriving home from tutoring so soup is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Last week ended up all wonky due to some house guests and random extra food being made, but it all worked out in the end and generally stuck to plan. This week I am working every day (I usually only work three days), so I have planned with that in mind, taking advantage of things I have in freezer. M - Pizza (takeout from a local place that has a Monday soecial), salad, sautéed apples T - matzo ball soup, two potato latkes, applesauce W - Thai turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes, veg, Apple crisp (all already made and in freezer) Th - roast vegetable baked ziti (made double for dinner tonight so it's all made) F - creole white beans and chicken, rice S - taco stuffed shells, salad Sun - shrimp scampi, bread, veg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Can you tell me how you make this? I looked on Pinterest for a recipe but found nothing. It sounds like something we'd love! I make soups- hearty ones- and dh and I have soup for lunch most days when it's cold. He comes home for lunch and we like a hot lunch but I'm usually just arriving home from tutoring so soup is perfect. I use my stuffed pepper recipe except that instead of stuffing the rice/meat mixture in the peppers, I cut up the peppers in 1 inch pieces and cook it with the meat/onions till soft. add cooked rice, and then dump enough tomato sauce over the whole thing to make a thick soup/stew/casserole consistency. Cook long enough for the rice to absorb some of the tomatoes and the mixture isn't too soupy. Basically I do it when I'm too lazy to hollow out whole peppers or I have a lot of peppers to use up with spots or I want something faster than waiting for a pan of peppers to cook (due to the number of kids and that I always cook enough for leftovers, my pan is huge and takes a couple of hours to bake). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
