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.

Judgmental much? Really? About how people decide what they will eat?

Why plan it a week in advance?
Where is the spontaneity ?
What if you don't feel like eating what you planned?

Tortilla soup
Chili
Baked ziti
Rice and black beans
Enchiladas

To the PP who makes tamale pie - can you share the recipe?

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).

How do you make your leftover brussel sprouts edible? Taste and texture when they're reheated - mine are always awful.
