MrsRobinson Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I've been really slacking in this department lately and as a result, we are not eating as healthy or as inexpensively as we should be. So here's my menu this week, please share yours! I need some new ideas! For now, I'm off to the store... Sunday- meatball curry, rice, Asian chopped salad Monday- carnitas pork tacos, tomatillo sauce, all the veg add ins Tuesday- BBQ pork sandwiches, coleslaw, fries Wednesday- dinner at in laws or leftovers Thursday- Crock Pot whole chicken, Instant Pot mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli Friday- eat out at burger joint (as a reward for sticking to this all week!) Saturday- Crock Pot chicken cheesesteaks, salad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 We have weird schedules here and sometimes there are only two of us for dinner. Sometimes the third (which could be either dh or ds) isn't home for dinner but eats later so I make enough for three. This week ds and I are going to Orlando Fri-Sun for Megacon (a sci-fi con) so dh will be on his own. Other than tomorrow night, these aren't for a specific day, just what we'll be having this week - Pierogies and smoked sausage, broccoli Baked ziti Monday - (outdoor) grilled chicken - sides to be determined but probably potato salad and grilled asparagus leftovers of any of the above, then ds and I leave for the weekend Friday morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 We’re moving in a few weeks so the goal is to eat the odds and ends of food we have around and only buy vegetables and milk. But our stuff is already shipped of so I’m working with limited kitchen supplies which makes it hard to think of things to eat. I have enough fish for two different meals so I’ll probably make coconut turmeric fish with rice and greens one night and maybe some fish with toasted garlic and some zucchini and more rice. We have a little bit of about five different kinds of rice to work through. There’s also two pounds of cooked ground beef that will probably because lasagna two different days. The garbanzo beans will go into koshary and fattah. The black beans will probably go with more rice and maybe some salsa. There are a few packages of different kinds of noodles that will probably get combined with tofu and whatever sauce I have ingredients for. I also have arugula pesto in the fridge I need to use, and some dosa batter. I’d eat out sometimes to avoid some stress, but it’s Ramadan here and no restaurants are open till 6:30, plus the traffic is awful then since everyone is trying to get to their iftar on time. I think our meals will get more and more eclectic as we get further into Ramadan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ. Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I haven't been doing a great job at meal planning. I recently subscribed to purple carrot meal delivery to try new things and get more vegetables in our diet. Today I am making pioneer woman's chicken tortilla soup. I plan to serve it over rice to stretch it. For dinner tonight we are having Korean BBQ. I am using beef stew meat cooked in Korean BBQ sauce. We will have rice with it and one of this week's purple carrot meals. It is roasted beets tossed in Korean BBQ sauce, sauted baby bok choy sprinkled with sesame, edamame, and kimchi all served over rice and drizzled with a mixture of Korean BBQ/vegan mayo and sliced scallions. Tomorrow is another purple carrot meal. It is mole enfrijoladas with walnuts and citrus avocado salad. I am not sure what we will have Tuesday, maybe pasta. Wednesday we will get a new food delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the fence about buying them but I think dh would really appreciate them. I love your menu. This is how we eat and I've been in a total meal slump lately so it's helpful to see.

Mimm Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Taco soup with shredded chicken Stuffed peppers, broccoli Stir fry of some sort Grilled teriyaki chicken, green beans Little pizzas made on English muffins ? I don't assign meals to days. I buy enough meals for the week, then make what sounds good that night. I like one dish meals like stir fry, which obviously has all the veggies mixed in. But otherwise, I made a large helping of green veggies on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them because they're minimally processed compared to other meat substitutes and so easy to make. They do require a lot of seasoning, though, as they are very bland. Dh has only been eating plant-based for a few months and was missing chicken fajitas, but he says the soy curls are an excellent replacement. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
