KungFuPanda Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Last night I made chicken tortellini soup for my daughter and beef stroganoff for the rest of us. I used the McCormick spice pack and followed the directions on the back. I added mushrooms and onions. It's my new favorite quickie meal and it only has a few ingredients. Today I JUST made eggs, bacon, and fried potatoes and served it with grapes and OJ. That'll hold us until our afternoon tea n snack around 5. Dinner will be around 9. I have no idea for that . . . probably leftover soup and stroganoff :-/ Lately I've been doing meat and veg on the grill and a seasoned rice side in the rice cooker. That's a low-ingredient deal. I made this last week. It's a keeper! Edited July 6, 2016 by KungFuPanda 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali in OR Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 We're grilling a lot this week and we're eating a ton of berries/cherries. It's blueberry season now--I'm picking every Friday, freezing some, canned a few pints, eating the rest fresh. They're gone by Wednesday then I pick more on Friday! Also had some marionberries (local blackberry/raspberry hybrid) and cherries from the grocery store for my non-berry-eating kid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparklyUnicorn Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Well I didn't do much planning this week. Last night I made a hash with leftover pulled pork and coleslaw on the side. Tonight it'll be wraps with various choices of stuff and strawberry shortcakes. Now that I saw that pasta dish above I'm making that tomorrow. Friday a marinated pork tenderloin with salad on the side. I bought fish burgers so at some point those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbi in Texas Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I haven't cooked this week at all, but tonight we are having canned venison and gravy, mashed potatoes, fresh tomatoes, olives, fruiit salad, and a canned vegetable-probably corn. Tomorrow will probably be fresh peas and cornbread, tomatoes, and fruit salad. Just in case you didn't see my response in the college class thread, please don't let one class stop you from following your dreams. I am 54 and will graduate in December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Last night was nachos with chorizo, queso, leftover roasted corn, and refried beans. I put some cherry tomatoes and cucumbers out to snack on. Tonight is Red Beans and Rice. More cucumbers and leftover corn. Tomorrow is sandwiches or leftover baked potatoes (kids have activities). I'll probably go to the store on Friday, but we still have enough to make Garlic Molasses Black Beans, Spinach and Feta Quiche, Deer Steaks and Roasted Potatoes, and Pizza. If all else fails, there's ramen, eggs, and frozen veggies. Or popcorn. Edited July 6, 2016 by BarbecueMom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loowit Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Last night was pot roast and corn on the cob. Tonight is steak and whatever I decided to make with it. I am leaning towards rice and carrots. Tomorrow is homemade pizza. Friday is taco soup made with leftover roast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Tonight was slow cooked lamb with mint, steamed broccoli, roasted aubergine and courgette, sauted mushroom, and orzo pasta.

I'll cook red snapper fillets after that with Swiss chard and salad from the garden, and baby boiled potatoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Girls' Mom Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Nothing. I cooked for three days straight for the 4th. We have leftover BBQ chicken and pork. Actually, I'll probably cook something comfort food-ish tomorrow since dh is leaving Friday to spend two weeks in Taipei. He'll miss our food..lol. Maybe meatloaf. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsRobinson Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Pork steaks on the grill with a spice rub, corn on the cob, cucumbers, Hawaiian rolls, baked beans. Leftovers Rachael Ray's Date Night Pasta and Vodka Cream Sauce, garlic bread, salad Lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry syrup (recipe on Pinterest), breakfast sausage, fresh fruit Boneless pork on loin on the grill with a Martha Stewart marinade, roasted red potatoes, steamed broccoli Grilled chicken drumsticks, grilled asparagus, dinner rolls (I get the big bag of Rhodes dough balls that need to rise-yum!) Pizza night. Kids usually top their pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and black olives. Dh will probably go for ham and pineapple. I'm thinking I want spinach, grape tomatoes and goat cheese. I have leftover Alfredo sauce in the fridge... We all like different toppings so we make a few smaller pizzas. Its fun. :) That's this past Saturday through this Friday. I hadn't thought about next week yet but just from this thread, I think I'm most of the way there! The chicken penne, crepes, hash, fish tacos, nachos all penciled in! Thanks y'all! ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
