I’m in a rut and would love inspiration. Here’s what we’ve been doing for the winter:
Pasta alla gricia w salad Turkey lettuce wraps with basmati rice Kale and white bean soup Baked ziti Shrimp tacos |
|
Yesterday - new york strip steak and potatoes
Today - lamb chops on grill and Israeli cous cous Monday - skirt steak with pasta Tuesday - Something with paneer in it. Wednesday - thin sliced chicken breaded and sautéed till crisp with a side Thursday - Chicken breast in crock pot on low. Shreds well. Might mix in with white rice and black eyed peas. Could cook rice in half coconut milk, or in chicken broth. Friday - carryout |

Honestly I love to cook but this time of year I am just not into it.
Tonight we had pasta with zucchini sauce (cooked forever with butter, olive oil, garlic, lemon, and basil), roasted red peppers and tomatoes, and baked lemon chicken. Tomorrow I have a nerve-wracking doctors appointment so we are ordering my takeout choice. Tuesday will likely be tacos or fajitas. Wednesday and Thursday we have school events so we will either pick something up or grab simple stuff at home (ramen, pasta, etc...). Friday is too far away. This is not my best work! I need to eat salads for lunch and sauté some mushrooms and freeze them for later, because there is no way I will use them this week. |

We have a lot going on this week so it's gonna be tough. Here's what I'm thinking:
Leftovers Monday - dinner has to be early and quick Butter chicken with either sweet peppers or roasted broccoli Toast, scrambled eggs, fruit, and spinach smoothies I'm thinking of a soup or stew Thursday with what we have on hand but haven't settled on a recipe. Maybe something heavier with andouille sausage, beans, tomatoes, celery, carrots, and possibly collards, or maybe more of a smooth vegetable soup. Fridays we usually let the kids have chicken nuggets as an end of week treat since we rarely get takeout or eat out. Adults will probably have leftover butter chicken. |
|
Tonight was lentil and potato stew
Monday shrimp tacos Tuesday bbq chicken and beans Weds breakfast for dinner Thursday probably pasta tbd |
|
Not aiming high this week as we are short on time
Tonight did spinach lasagna rolls Other meals planned: tacos, hot dogs, tofu stir fry with edamame and rice All meals are vegetarianized We will go out for dinner one night due to extracurricular schedule |
I just want to send you good vibes for your doctors appointment. |
