What’s for dinner this week?

[Anonymous]

Okay, this has inspired me to think.

I will do black bean soup, turkey meatballs, and will check out the Crispy Tofu and Cabbage Stir-Fry (NYT) recipe!

I am making waffles and scrambled eggs tonight.
Later in the week jambalaya (budget bytes recipe), beef & broccoli, and salmon croquettes with mashed potato and some kind of vegetable.

I'm the pp who was going to do the NYT sweet chili tofu grain bowls, but might try this instead. I love cabbage.

Can someone please share an Eggroll in a bowl recipe you like? There seem to be lots of variations out there, and most have bad reviews.
Thanks.

This is the base recipe I use: https://www.budgetbytes.com/beef-cabbage-stir-fry/

But you should tweak it to your tastes. I usually do ground pork or turkey instead of beef, and stir in a little duck sauce at the very end to add sweetness and make it taste more egg roll-y. You can also use coleslaw mix if you don’t feel like shredding a ton of cabbage.

—she wants me to try to make chicken lo mein. So that is planned for the snow day.
—she also asked for a red curry with salmon and shrimp, which I have in my freezer, so just need some coconut milk.
—also she likes flatbreads with leftover meatballs and mozzarella, so I have some yeast and will make that tomorrow since it’s a day off school.

It is helpful to not always have to think about what to make! Does she help? I’ve been getting my kids (15 and 17) to help
More in the kitchen and it’s been great! Benefits all of us

She helps on the weekends and lots in the summer. Her sports practice is right at dinner time during the week.

I use ground pork and the coleslaw in a bag. I use extra ginger and garlic.

I’m also making cabbage stirfry, but not the same recipe that pp listed, but I will make that another time! Thanks for sharing pp.

Quesadillas with chicken and peppers and onions

Chicken and wild rice soup (not the creamy kind, just like chicken noodle, but with rice instead)

Tonight we had kale Caesar salad.

If there’s not enough leftovers I will make something with ground beef or breakfast for dinner one night.

Usually on fridays we have ramen or salad.
