| Anyone know what they'll be making for dinner this week? |
|
my standard...
saute garlic, sliced mushrooms and canned tuna in olive oil. toss with pasta. voila. it is actually awesome...two cans of tuna for a family of four. also good with cherry tomatoes added... |
| marinated chicken tossed over a salad with balsamic vingeratte |
| I'm sick, so probably take out. |
|
Well on the menu for the week, we will likely be doing:
-One night of veggie/brown rice stirfry -One night of veggie dumplings and tofu with peanut noodles -One night of veggie tacos with tvp "meat" -Perhaps a night of chili dogs with veggie dogs and veggie chili -One night out to eat |
|
My plan so far -
Pea soup in the slow cooker Baked risotto with chicken, spinach and mushrooms Buffalo roast in the slow cooker (first time - I'm a bit scared) Sweet Potato and Chicken chowder |
| We'll have chicken soup (mon), okra and meat ragut eaten with rice (tue, wed and may be left overs for me for thursday), chicken parmesan with couscous and salad (Thu), pasta / pizza (Fr). |

Trying to make foods that the 4 YO will actually eat that are not too high in carbs. And we only go to the grocery store once a week.
last night: black bean & cheese enchiladas Mon: shake & bake chicken, green beans Tue: smoked pork chops, acorn squash Wed: lamb chops, sugar snap peas, baby corn & baby carrots Thu: butternut squash soup (made yesterday) Fri: pizza or dogs, frozen veggie du jour |

M - Meatloaf (1/2 turkey 1/2 groundbeef)
T - Chicken w apricot glaze W - Wildrice & corn casserole Th - Spicy Chickpea Stew F - Salmon |
| I'm feeling very lazy about cooking this week. I made some lentil soup yesterday for us to eat during week - we'll probably have that two nights. I also bought some chicken, and will likely make a stir fry with that and some cabbage that we have. Maybe baked sweet potatoes or sweet potato fries another night? We have house guests coming this weekend, so I plan to get a roast chicken and a couple sides for Friday night's dinner. |
| Question about the sweet potatoes: do you just peel the skin or do you also peel away the outer flesh until you get to the part that is dark orange ? I do the first, and they never look all that appetizing (roasted) although they taste good! |
you can roast with the skin on or off. |
