PeterPan Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 When nothing sounds good to me, I make split pea soup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Monday - Salmon and broccoli Tuesday - Burgers and veggies and chips (no dh, so it needs to be simple or I won't do it) Wednesday - chicken pot pie i made a few weeks ago and froze. The weather is warming up and chicken pot pie season is ending (in the menu book in my head, don't tell dd) Thursday - Pepper Been Salad and some wholegrain sourdough Friday - pizza night with salad. I make 4 pizza crusts at a time and freeze them, and a large batch of sauce and freeze that, so most weeks I don't have to make either, or else just one of them. Saturday - pork tenderloin with frozen vegetables 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Kate Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Tonight - fend for yourself (I roasted a bunch of veggies and had them with leftover chicken and Alfredo sauce) Monday - chicken Parmesan, Brussels sprouts, probably some type of pasta for the kids Tuesday - I think I will throw some chicken and salsa in the crockpot for chicken tacos, some type of mexi-cauli rice (anyone have a good recipe?) Wednesday - picking dh up from the airport, so we will probably stop for chipotle or something on the way home Thursday - I’m out of town all day for work, so do will likely grill either chicken or steak with maybe a salad in the side? Friday - not sure I really wish I could find a low-carb pizza crust that I like. It would be fun to have a Friday pizza night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRobinson Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm getting great ideas from this thread! I won't be able to use them until after we move but I'm craving some good dinners! Ours our looking like frozen pizza, frozen rav, frozen waffles with peanut butter, quesadillas, use-up-all-the-food salad, pb and j, grilled cheese. Blah! I'm thinking I'm going to cook up some homemade real food this week to freeze before I pack the kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender's green Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 In no particular order, with some being lunches: Steak with garlic-sherry vinaigrette Sauteed chicken breast with mustard-cream sauce Salmon of some sort Flounder of some sort Meatballs - make a huge batch with hidden veggies and liver, and freeze the excess Quiche (such a surprising crowd-pleaser!) Pizza Pasta and cucumbers as sides for picky kids Tons of chopped salads. I've been liking chickpea, cucumber, celery, and kalamata olives lately. We also have lots of veggies sides. I'm not as carnivorous as this list might make it seem. 😉 I just buy as I go, and then prepare whatever sounds good that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happypamama Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I think tacos or nachos are on the list for tonight. Probably burgers one night. One night, DH and I will probably go out for dinner (with babyman), so the kids will probably want pizza. With the weather warming up, and me emerging from the post-newborn phase, that probably means we will get back to lots of salads. Chicken caesar salad is always a favorite of my husband. We can probably use a round of southwestern jalapeno pepper grilled chicken salad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Monday: Pasta Carbonara and Salad (or plain spaghetti and peas), Brazilian Cheese Balls Tuesday: Turkey and Cheese Crescent Rolls, Fruit and Raw Veggies (leftovers for DH) Wednesday: Ham and Bean Soup, Sandwiches, Fruit and Raw Veggies Thursday: Broccoli Cheese Rice Casserole, Leftover Ham, Steamed Carrots Friday: Junk Food Night (Frozen Pizza, Taquitos, and Tater Tots) Saturday: TBD (depends on weather, plans, sales, what sounds good...) Sunday: Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Baked Beans, Broccoli, Corn, Hockey Puck/Ding Dong Cake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy for me to make ahead and reheat when we walk in the door at 7:30 or later) Thursday -- corned beef hash with frozen leftover roast from St. Patrick's Day Friday -- Penne pasta with some fresh basil and mozzarella that I have leftover and need to use up. May add homemade meatballs from my freezer. Saturday -- chili Sunday -- eat out with extended family to celebrate spring birthdays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
