Meal Plan Mondays

[kittyriot]

M - Maple Dijon Chicken Thighs with rice and roasted cauliflower
T - Dirty Rice with Chicken
W - I have a dinner meeting, TH is having stuffed clams
T - Spicy Shrimp Pasta in a Garlic Tomato Cream Sauce
F - ?

I feel like I should point out, while we only meal plan Monday through Thursday, we don't eat out all weekend. Our theory is this. We often end up with impromptu weekend plans (we always have Friday night plans) and don't want to necessarily be buying food for weekend meals when we end up eating out. But we have a good pantry and have a well stocked freezer. So if we end up housebound (which we were due to baby sickness) we have enough to figure out meals. Saturday (based on what was in the freezer) we had ribs, roasted potatoes and salad, Sunday we had sesame chicken on rice with a salad.

Edited: cause apparently two question marks make a sad face

Not really sure.. I'm going to be in Missouri from Friday through the weekend so probably just easy stuff:

M: Roasted veggies and couscous
T: Pesto pasta w/ sauteed mushrooms/onions
W: Mahi Mahi w/ couscous
Th: Going out to dinner w/ an employee of dh and his wife

I'm back on salad for lunches which is:

Arugula, avocado, artichoke, heart of palm, tomato w/ lemon juice and some spices

M: Baked brown sugar chicken wings (did this last Friday and they were great!)
T: Cajun Sausage with Rice & Beans
W: Eat out (St. Valentine's dinner)
R: Tortellini with sauce
F: Salmon!
S: Mac n Cheese burger

We just started meal planning last month to help with grocery costs. I plan for two or three planned meals, and fill in the rest with leftovers or pulling together whatever we have in the fridge/pantry. On Friday I'm making salmon for baby girl and I because my husband will be at a poker night. He hates fish so we never eat it together.

M- grilled buffalo chicken salad
T- chicken quesadillas with salsa and black beans
W- Italian dressing chicken, baked beans and mash potatoes
T- chicken Alfredo with whole wear pasta veggies and lite sauce
F- either leftovers or eating out. Maybe pizza or something non chicken. When I do chicken for the week, I cook it all on Monday with the needed spices on each piece then put them in containers for the week. It makes it so I don't have to preheat the oven and wait for the chicken to bake each night.

M: Mixed greens salad and hard-boiled eggs. We ate SO much bad food this weekend... Making up for it!
T: Whole wheat rotini with chicken and spinach in a light alfredo sauce OR trying smittenkitchen.com/blog/2006/11/alexs-restaurant/
It will depend on my trip to the grocery store tonight.
W: Salmon with dill, asparagus, wild rice
Th: Grilled cheese, salad, and tomato soup (Maybe...)
F: Friends coming over for dinner, not sure what I am making yet, but probably spaghetti.
S: Making a nice dinner for DH for an at-home VDay date after kiddos go to bed. Steak, brussels sprouts with olive oil and sea salt, baked potatoes, salad, and I am going to attempt creme brûlée for dessert. (One of the only desserts he actually likes.)
Sunday: No idea.

Might switch Tuesday and Wednesday... Then I can for sure make the risotto.
