Tuesday - I'm out at a work dinner. DH in charge. Probably out for sushi.

Wednesday - Chicken tikka masala in the Instant Pot. Side of naan (store bought) and peas.

Thursday - DH work dinner. Haven't decided yet. Maybe grilled cheese with sliced vegetables and ranch dip. Or out for sushi if they didn't do that on Tuesday.

Friday - finally. What a week. Salmon fillets that I'll pull out of the freezer Thursday night. Probably just pan-seared and finished in the oven, with roasted broccoli and rolls. And salad.

What is your slow cooker chicken tikka masala recipe? I have a good sheet pan recipe but would love a slow cooker one!

I had a great meal plan but now with two sick kids and a sick spouse I’m throwing most of the plan out the window and going easy - breakfast for dinner, minestrone, pasta w peas, etc.

Aside from the salmon, this sounds really unhealthy. Do you always eat like this?

You sound a bit grumpy. Maybe cut back on the kale? Some of us like food that actually tastes good and we enjoy it because we are not disordered orthorexics.

These threads always depress me because I see stuff that looks great to me but my kids would never eat. Here's ours for the week so far:

Sunday: Spaghetti with meatballs
Monday: Fish tacos with black beans, mango and guac
Tuesday: Breakfast casserole with sausage and spinach smoothies
Wednesday: Was thinking of making beet/carrot latkes that none of them will eat, and they will probably end up eating toast
Thursday: Work travel. The teen can make a frozen thing from TJs for her siblings.
Friday -- probably something simple like spinach ravioli with chopped tomatoes
Saturday - going out with friends, kids can get a pizza or something and have carrot sticks with it.

I usually do crockpot once/week, and then either popovers or pancakes once/week. Often one of the other nights is pasta and the other is a leftover from a previous crockpot night.

Are popovers the whole meal?

Yup. It’s on the lighter side, but it’s fine for now since our kids are little still. It’s not what I’d made once they’re teens.

I'm having trouble with the popover too - please share more. Like the airy, hollow tall buns? Do you put cheese or herbs or something in the batter? Or stuff them with something? Really having a hard time picturing this as a meal, and want to know more.

How can this be a meal?

That's like saying a flour tortilla is a meal.

I need more information, please.

The former, although i think my son would be fine with my tossing sausage into his smoothie.

I don't know... One (or two?!) of those with butter and jam would be freaking delicious for a light supper! They look scrumptious!

Not the popover person but i can imagine just eating a whole pan of fresh popovers for dinner. Cant you?
