Terabith Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 My husband made a potato soup with chicken last night that was delicious! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Frikadellers and roasted veggies with lemon-maple-curry vinaigrette, gingery slaw, St. Lucia buns, sliced asiago cheese, and cranberry-strawberry jam for tonight. Veggies are beets, delicata squash, zucchini, and the last tiny little Brussels sprouts I pried off my frozen stalks. I cook for a friend on Sundays who lost her husband last summer and it means my family gets one thought-out meal per week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loowit Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 We are having Goldshire Goulash tonight. It isn't actual goulash, I named it that years ago after a game so that the kids would be more likely to eat it. It is hamburger or sausage browned and mixed with spaghetti sauce and topped with cornbread and baked. The rest of the week will be: Ham, brown rice, and veggies Pulled pork, fried apples, and homemade rolls Oven baked chicken, rice, veggies Turkey roast, mashed potatoes, and veggies Frozen pizza for the boys, date night food take-out for DH and I Something with leftover turkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbel Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I made this Moroccan lentil and vegetable stew from Budget Bytes last week - it is fantastic and really more like a dal than a soup. Better the next day, and the day after that! https://www.budgetbytes.com/moroccan-lentil-vegetable-stew/ Tonight I am trying this for the first time: Creamy chicken and gnocchi from Damn Delicious. https://damndelicious.net/2020/12/04/creamy-chicken-and-gnocchi/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
math teacher Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Today I am making Pizza Soup and Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. The rest of the week will be Paprika Pork Chops (supposed to be roast, but I will modify), Breakfast Pizza, Corn Pudding (casserole), Spinach Beef Spaghetti Pie, Poppyseed Chicken, and broccoli salad.

I think it's something my oldest would love. Our dinner plans this week are sparse. Tonight is chicken, risotto, and asparagus, but I have yet to plan the rest of the week.

Laura Corin Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I've cooked some ginger, carrot and lentil soup. We'll probably add Greek yoghurt to that. One evening we will probably have smoked mackerel with quinoa, plus beetroot with yoghurt and preserved lemon. We have some leftover roast chicken - not sure what the plans are for that. I'll probably do marinated tofu with roast veg. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutheart Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) chicken tetrazzini cavatini chicken melt with avocado, sweet potato chips meatball soup, tomato bread chicken, honey wheat bread, root vegetable soup (carrots and parsnips, with leftover pumpkin and spaghetti squash) taco salad spinach chicken calzone We just started getting farm veg delivered from Market Wagon, so our menu planning is now more about pairing protein and carb, and finding out what the veg will be later (we never know what will be in the vegetable variety pack/CSA). It's been fun to try new things, like turnip fries and roasting the pumpkin to make pumpkin muffins. We got some pak choy this week, and normally I'd use it in a stir fry, but we don't have other stir fry veg to go with it. I'm trying to decide if I can just chop it up fine and put it in the tetrazzini, or maybe just blend it into the root vegetable soup? ETA: I added the diced pak choy to the tetrazzini in place of the onion. The flavor seemed the same, and it added a nice crunch to the dish. Everyone served themselves seconds, so I guess that was an acceptable substitution. Edited December 6, 2021 by rutheart updated usage of pak choy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popmom Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I’ve got a big batch of bone in chicken breasts brining in the fridge. I’m going to smoke them. I’ll make white bean chicken chili with it and tacos or quesadillas. I need to see if any stores have Boston Butt on sale if I’m going to the trouble to smoke the chicken. I’m craving Brunswick stew and corn bread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made this recipe for dessert, it has a rather unorthodox (to me anyway) technique for the shortbread, but is also delicious: https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/raspberry-shortbread-bars This is not how I normally cook. We had a guest here. Also, I work 4 nights a week so only make dinner 3 nights, and I like to cook, so kinda went for a special dinner tonight.

Carrie12345 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Cheesy chicken last night. (Chicken breasts dipped in butter melted with garlic, coated in breadcrumbs mixed with shredded cheeses. Baked. My stomach is regretting the fat, but oh so easy!) Italian beef in the crockpot tonight. Meatloaf tomorrow because I found a decent sale on ground beef. Most of the rest of the week will be made up of leftovers and free for alls. I try to keep December simple to make room for baking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered Chinese food and stalked this thread yesterday and I still have no plan. I’m going to a grocery store in 30 minutes (for DS’s Covid booster) so I’m hoping for inspiration before we get in the car. I still need to clean some thanksgiving stuff out of my fridge! I think I’ll get a ham for tonight and serve it with potatoes, roasted broccoli, and a mustard cream sauce. That meal is low-effort high-reward in my book and the leftover ham makes tomorrow’s breakfast or lunch really easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
