I made red beans with sausage over rice. And I added deviled eggs on the side. Lots of “trinity” vegetable blend in the beans, so a pretty well-rounded meal!

Baked chicken breasts marinated in Greek dressing; garlic bread; Italian salad; apple slices
Enchiladas with leftover ground beef and rice, plus spinach, onion, refried beans, and Mexican cheese; orange slices; cucumber slices
Pasta marinara with Parmesan cheese; steamed broccoli with butter; mandarins
Chicken patties from the freezer on buns; carrots and cucumbers with hummus; grapes
Simple quiche (eggs, cream, salt and pepper); Italian salad; fruit salad with yogurt and honey
Freezer meatballs with homemade Swedish dressing and parsley; baked potatoes; orange slices
Leftovers
Dessert has been Girl Scout cookies because we just got a shipment from a niece.
These meals are very similar to what we like to eat. Simple, fresh, and tasty. I haven’t made Swedish meatballs or quiche in a while; I’m adding them to next week’s menu.

What we actually ate so far:
-homemade bread, marinated and roasted chicken quarters and vegetables
-ordered jerk chicken from a new place
-homemade Philly cheese steaks last two nights (the shaved beef doesn’t keep well), with a fruit plate one night and salad the other
On deck:
-I got some decent looking eggplant and will be making moussaka, which should last two dinners supplemented with a side
-Malaysian style curry, protein tbd

I’ve got leftover Mississippi pot roast, and I’m going to use the meat to make burritos tonight.
Tomorrow I’m making lasagna (just DH and I so I make small ones in a bread loaf pan).

In the past I have made red beans & rice (this includes sausage), gumbo, or jambalaya. Those are the things I miss, probably in that order, from living in New Orleans. Well, dinner items anyway. I miss beignets with iced cafe au lait most.
They just don't taste the same anywhere else!!!
I crave a good muffuletta from time to time.

We made a double batch of pork and sauerkraut soup for a potluck tonight thinking we'd leave with plenty of leftovers for a weeknight dinner....nope. People liked it! Might be able to stretch it if we serve the remainder over egg noodles.
Other plans:
Pizza and salad
Green curry with tofu and vegetables
Leftover beef and lamb, roast vegetables, baguette
That doesn't quite get us to the end of the week but we have a fairly full freezer and pantry. Might do pasta e ceci, chili, or mujadarra since we don't have beans on the menu yet.
