Elizabeth86 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm grocery shopping tomorrow and I need a meal plan for this week. What are you all having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 It was pizza tonight. Last night it was beef mushroom soup, sauteed red cabbage, and loaded cauliflower casserole. The night before that, it was chicken, rice, and peppers with green chili sauce from Aldi, made in my magic pot (that's what we call the Instant Pot). Do you have an Aldi? We love their Asian-style simmer sauces -- chili, korma, jalfreezi, dopiaza, and our favorite, tikka masala. Saute some peppers or onions if you have them, throw chicken in with them in the magic pot with a little water, cook for twenty minutes, add rice, cook for five minutes, add frozen veggies (peas, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower), cook for a couple more minutes, stir everything and chop the chicken a bit, add sauce, switch to saute, and heat it all through. I end up eating way too much because it's so good. Burgers are always a huge hit here. DH likes to create fun combinations out of random ingredients. One is hash browns, sliced cheese, coriander chutney (insanely expensive from Amazon but dirt cheap from a local Asian grocery store), mushrooms, and artichokes on (Aldi) guacamole ranch dressing. Another is fried onions, chipotle mayo (just mayo mixed with a bit of the sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo sauce), and pepper jack cheese. DH loves chicken Caesar salad in the summer.

meena Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 These are ideas I'm considering for this week: BBQ brisket--my granny's recipe (I've never made it because I'm afraid it won't be as good as hers!), served with hash brown casserole and green beans. This is comfort food for me. Cottage pie, served with fruit Tacos, served with Mexican rice, refried beans, and maybe corn. Sloppy Joe's, served with carrots and any other fruits or veggies we have around This stir-fry: https://www.budgetbytes.com/2016/08/beef-cabbage-stir-fry/, except ground turkey instead of beef and broccoli slaw instead of cabbage, served with rice Chicken corn chowder, served with salad Instant Pot chicken and sweet potatoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth86 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Sounds like a bunch of good ideas. No we dont have Aldis. I am going to have to look into an instant pot. Not really sure what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Dh is making his yummy lasagna. Although more accurately I cooked all the pieces he needed and he assembled. Makes my life easier since there is less mess when I am the sou chef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixpix5 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I just finished simmering our pot of Catherine's Spicy Chicken Soup. One of my favorite recipes from allrecipe. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 We had to eat at Wendy's tonight... It's definitely not my favorite (FIL's choice), but their chicken mozzarella salad with balsamic vinegar dressing was pretty good. Last night it was Bill's BBQ in Wilson, NC. That was very, very good (Hubby's choice - did anyone else drive 7 1/2 hours for a "Father's Day" meal for their hubby??? :lol: ). The last thing we made for ourselves was this lamb and lentil stew (in the crockpot): http://www.food.com/recipe/hearty-lamb-and-lentil-stew-375190 We made a few modifications like adding curry. It was pretty good, but I like lamb with various beans better than lentils I think. Still, it was worth a try. Not sure yet what tomorrow will bring - quite probably a stop at Steak and Shake on the way home (we don't have them around us and they make the BEST milkshakes). I'm not sure though - hubby will choose again. There is a Kabob place on our way home he might pick instead. It won't be Wendy's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um_2_4 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Tonight is Bechamel : http://homemade-recipes.blogspot.com/2011/02/macaroni-pasta-with-bechamel-recipe.html?m=1 Tomorrow: Maybe this http://www.anediblemosaic.com/arabic-meat-in-yogurt-sauce-shakriya/ (but i never use cornstarch or garlic or bullion or low fat yogurt, only full fat works and bunches of cumin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Tonight will be grilled Norwegian Mackerel, a mixed salad, and cauliflower sauteed in a butter-turmeric-pickled lemon concoction that I dreamed up today. I think the cauliflower is going to be seriously good. I'm winging it. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
