| Just trying to get some new ideas. I've been making some of the recipes I've found on here lately and nobody has failed me yet! Recently had the lemon chicken orzo soup someone posted and it was in fact delicious and my toddler even ate it. http://damndelicious.net/2014/04/25/lemon-chicken-orzo-soup/ |

I like planning a weekly menu that reuses the same ingredients in different ways - less cooking effort overall if I can intentionally cook twice as much as needed one night, and the family doesn't notice that I'm serving leftovers .
Sunday - Roasted salmon, salad, toasted baguette slices, another veggie that I can't remember (kale, maybe?) Monday - ate out Tuesday - Brown rice, bacon-wrapped shrimp, green beans, salad. Used this recipe, it was awesome: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/bacon-wrapped-barbeque-shrimp-2/ Wednesday - stir fry with leftover bacon and shrimp, onion, mushrooms, and half a bag of coleslaw salad mix (no dressing, just the shredded cabbage and carrots). Served over leftover brown rice. Thursday - steak, mashed potatoes, broccoli, salad Tonight - I think I'll use the leftover steak, a few remaining shrimp, and the coleslaw mix to make tacos. Salad and green beans on the side, because I want to use them up before making my weekly grocery store run tomorrow. Tacos and stir-fries are my go-to ways to use up all remaining ingredients on Friday night! |

Saturday: Roasted cod with miso glaze, sauteed spinach, garlic broccoli, jasmine rice
Sunday: Oktoberfest food - assorted German sausages, braised sauerkraut, parsley potatoes, cucumber salad Monday: Baked chicken with rice, plus any leftover sides from Sunday night Tuesday: Beef and vegetable stir-fry (I adapted this recipe and it was great: http://www.harvardcommonpress.com/flank-steak-broccoli-beef/) Wednesday: Make your own pizza night with packaged naan bread, pizza sauce, assorted cheeses and toppings Thursday: Baked fish (Gorton's) with Ore-Ida waffle fries and green beans (DH's night to "cook") Friday: takeout |

Sunday: Pasta with peas
Monday: Shepherd's pie with a potato/cauli mash Tuesday: Gnocchi pesto Weds: Tacos Thursday: Sweet potato hot dogs (where you put the hot dog in a baked sweet potato rather than a bun) |

Sunday- roasted salmon, green beans and salad
Monday- stuffed peppers (turkey and rice and tomato) with salad Tuesday- butternut squash lasagna and a salad Wednesday- burgers and green beans and salad Thursday- Italian restaurant Friday- leftovers (burger and lasagna and well split it somehow and a salad Salads tend to be a combo of spinach, arugula, cuces, radishes and sometimes apples with a couple of differ to homemade dressings so it's not the same every night. Next weeks plan is more fish (tilapia one night, salmon another), grilled veggie night - eggplant parm with grilled eggplant, chicken in peanut sauce another night. |
