Meal Plan Monday 9/26

[oldbaylover1024]

I can't believe this is the last Monday of September. Where did this month go?!

What's on the menu this week?

[oldbaylover1024]

I'm winging it this week, using whatever I can get rid of in my kitchen. No time to grocery shop. This should be interesting...

S - Dinner at IL's house. MIL made this Pioneer Woman Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole. It was divine (and very, very heavy). She served it with green beans and butter noodles.

M - Ham steak baked with pineapples, and roasted radishes, potatoes, and zucchini

T - Maybe a pasta dish - probably spaghetti and meatballs with salad

W - Leftovers

T - Either more leftovers, or chicken-and-rice bake with a veggie

F - Leftovers probably

S - J's staying with my SIL, so H and I will probably go out to dinner

Tonight is beef mac n cheddar soup.

Wednesday is cod with potatoes and.. something.

Friday is white BBQ chicken pizza.

Saturday is pork apple burgers with potatoes and green beans.

Unaccounted-for days are leftovers or whatever I can throw together without cooking.

Meal Vent: I'm tired of basic pasta - either spaghetti with meatballs or alfredo with chicken. I end up making one of these two options on pasta night, maybe homemade mac-and-cheese if I feel up to it. And they're usually pretty adventurous eaters (mostly).

My mom used to make this meal with pasta topped with sautéed spinach (frozen or fresh), mushrooms, garlic, onion, and roasted red peppers sprinkled with Monterey jack cheese. God, it's so good, quick, and easy. And a great vegetarian option. Alas, my family hates mushrooms, and spinach is probably their least favorite green. Boo, boring family!

Tonight we are having buffalo chicken wraps. Later this week we will have baked fried chicken and a salad, pork chops with green beans, tacos, and chili.

I took the plunge and ordered an Instant Pot in hopes that I can cook things without having to babysit them son much. I hope it gets here in time to try my chili out in it!

sarcaztic10, we've been going back and fourth about getting one....give us a review!!!

I feel so blah about meal planning this week.

basically I bought baked potatoes, tomato and mozzarella, fruit snacks at the store last night.

my thoughts:

M- hmnm
T- uhhh
W- geee
Th oops
Fr- steak and loaded baked potatoes

so basically we're going to each out of our freezer all week with maybe a quiche thrown in
