What’s for dinner this week?

[Anonymous]

Chicken marsala meatballs and salad (will eat 2 days)
Vegetable soup with tortellini
Turkish cheese pie (for a potluck so there will be other stuff)

Also have leftover salmon, lots of bell peppers and cauliflower, and pizza ingredients. So we'll see where we are later in the week.

Chili and fixings
Pasta with Vodka Sauce
Chicken Tikka Masala and Rice
Veggie and Beef Stew

I'll make salad or a veggie with each one.

I only cook one night a week as my husband is the main cook, but I am doing a NYT recipe for pasta with beans, sausage, and greens.

I don’t enjoy cooking.
My tween lives rice. I finally got wise and bought the cheaper rice that takes longer to cook. I made several servings and separated into portions and put in freezer. Now I have minute rice without minute prices. Genius I know lol
Tonight we had black bean and cheese quesadillas with rice and with tomatoes and Avocado.
Tomorrow baked salmon with rice and broccoli.

Get a rice cooker, it is a gamechanger. We eat enough rice that it's worth it to have one.

—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.

Do you have a good recipe for red curry salmon and shrimp? My DS used to order that all the time at our local Thai restaurant which closed years ago. I tried once to replicate it, and the curry was way too sweet.

+1 also, they do have frozen jasmine rice in Trader Joe’s, which is great for a quick last minute serving

This basic recipe for red curry (using jarred curry paste) but only put in salmon, shrimp and green beans. It calls for 1 Tbl sugar, but I put half that in. https://www.recipetineats.com/thai-red-curry-with-chicken/

Salmon and potatoes. Tofu and eggplant. Pasta and broccoli. Lemon chickpeas and zucchini.

I cook mon-thurs. Take out Friday. Wing it over the weekend which ends up being leftovers, something simple, or go out.

Monday--Zuppa Toscana with garlic bread (it was just me this night)
Tuesday--leftover soup, kids had turkey burgers, pretzels, crudite, and fruit
Wednesday--butter chicken, rice, carrots
Thursday--pasta with meat sauce (made with gr turkey) and salad
Friday--just me again, probably leftover pasta

We had honey-mustard salmon and roasted broccoli last night, tonight we’re having egg roll in a bowl. Also on the menu for this week are turkey chili, baked chicken parmesan and spicy dumpling soup. Reading this, we need more veggie centered meals next week.

I made this and there is a slow cooker version.
