Freezer week here. There's a baked ziti in there, shredded chicken and corn tortillas for enchilada bake, some kind of red sauce (or is it chili? This is what happens when I don't make labels)... Also some burgers/fries that were on sale this week for a "junk food night".
I'm sick, so it's a good week to use the work I already put into it while cleaning out the fridge a bit. |

Egg bake thing: eggs and potatoes and cheese all scrambled up with milk and poured into a baking dish and baked. Can add spinach or other vegetables. Ate with toast.
"Fried rice" which for me is white rice in rice cooker then transferred to a skillet mixed with a bag of frozen peas and carrots and a sauce made with soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, rice vinegar. That's the easy way. With a bit more effort, add fresh broccoli, carrots, onions and garlic etc. serve with cream cheese wontons frozen or homemade. Chicken sandwiches and baked potatoes. Buy frozen breaded chicken patties. |

tonight (sun) i have stuffed shells (spinach and ground turkey) ready to bake and will make a caesar salad for the side
mon- sheet pan chicken fajitas - to make it really quick, I prep before work and throw the sliced chicken, pepper and onion into a ziplock bag with evoo and taco seasoning, then when I get home I pull the bag out of the fridge and preheat the oven, change out of work clothes while oven heats, then pop in oven for 30 min. I heat the tortillas in microwave, mash a couple avocados and add a little salt and lime juice, and take out a jar of pico or salsa. tues- italian wedding soup (I make the meatballs with ground turkey, and add a lot of veggies to to soup - I have this ready to go in freezer) with fresh baguette picked up on way home from work so just need to reheat the soup and warm the baguette wed- baked salmon (with TJ salmon seasoning) and roasted broccoli on same pan thurs- fried rice (what goes in it will depend on what leftovers are still around, but at a minimum will include frozen peas and carrots, and scrambled eggs) by fri we are ordering in or someone else in the house is figuring out the meal

This has been a doozy of a weekend, so not as well prepped and planned for the week to come as some others.
I have ingredients for two different Asian inspired dishes: • have chow mein noodles, ground pork and a bag of red/yellow/orange mini sweet peppers — will turn into a noodley stir fry with probably chicken • have a package of Thai Chicken Coconut sausage that I’m thing I’ll slice up and cook up with maybe some shrimp, and put it in a green curry simmer sauce with water chestnuts, baby corn, sugar snap peas, etc. over coconut rice. Lunches will probably be bagged salads or frozen dinners — those are my go-tos when I haven’t had time to plan or prep. |

Just prepped these for tonight.

This week, my teens requested:
1) takeout sushi tonight 2) https://www.recipetineats.com/bun-cha-vietnamese-meatballs/ As soon as the weather is nice, I'll grill a batch to last two dinners. 3) meatloaf, peas, and baguette (they don't want potatoes for some reason). 2 dinners again. I'm also making a batch of Scotch broth soup (lamb stock with barley and vegetables) for us to all eat. |
