| What's your menu for this week? I am trying to plan a menu when it will be just so cold out. (We can't have beef stew EVERY night.) |
|
Sunday - chili (we will bring to work for lunch until gone)
monday- roast chicken & veggies Tuesday- chicken stir fry with leftovers Wednesday - salmon & veggies Thursday - coconut chicken & veggies Friday - leftovers from previous meals Saturday - depends on what is on sale from morning shopping More chicken than usual, but the organic roaster was on sale. |
|
Homemade mac & cheese, brussel sprouts
Roast chicken, sweet potatoes, leftover brussel sprouts North African lamb stew with carrots over cauliflower baked salmon, brown rice, asparagus homemade veggie pizza sicilian cauliflower pasta |
How do you make your leftover brussel sprouts edible? Taste and texture when they're reheated - mine are always awful. |
|
polenta with meat sauce
kielbasa and collards stew tortilla soup something with pasta or couscous split pea soup with popovers |
|
Spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread
Rump roast with red beans and rice Oven fried pork chops, homemade mac and cheese, green beans Chicken and vegetable soup, pasta and cooked rice included because I like it like that Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob Desserts will be pineapple upside down cake and grand cinnamon rolls. If we run out of sweets, homemade brownies can be whipped up in a snap |
|
Homemade ramen
Lentil soup with sausage Tamale Pie Stir fry White bean stew with chard and tomatoes Miso sweet potato and broccoli bowl either a strata or frittata with roasted veggies |

It's weird to plan out meals in advance.
I decide the day of. |
Judgmental much? Really? About how people decide what they will eat? |
|
Split pea soup with ham
Roast chicken with roasted root vegetables and green beans Homemade pizza and salad Pumpkin pilaf Mushroom/leek/potato soup DH will be out of town one night and I'll probably just have Mac and cheese with my toddler that night. The other night we'll do leftovers or takeout (if we've used all the leftovers for lunches). |
|
Tortilla soup
Chili Baked ziti Rice and black beans Enchiladas To the PP who makes tamale pie - can you share the recipe? |
Why plan it a week in advance? Where is the spontaneity ? What if you don't feel like eating what you planned? |
| I just made a bomb shepards pie but used lentils. Just make the lentils and mashed potatoes and then add the lentils to a sautéed w carrots, onions, garlic, and peas. Or anything else that excites you. Put the potatoes on top and bake. Broil at the end to brown the potatoes. |
