This week is all about freezable meals. Everything I am making I I am making enough to freeze for later.

Mon- left over casserole
Tuesday - chicken with homemade pesto butter
Wednesday - baked steak
Thursday - beef stroganoff
Friday - penne pasta with broccoli in a cheese sauce (not freezable)

I am also making
-homemade bread for sandwiches. The recipe makes 2 loaves so I am going to try and freeze half to dough and bake then 2nd loaf at a later date.

-muffins (won't freeze these)

-chicken cacetorie for a freezer meal.

Kids are making shake and bake chicken tomorrow for dinner...that's all I've got so far

[sccurrier]

You ladies are so organized and prepared. I have the daily battle around noon of what I'm going to cook for dinner so it's always a surprise. Tonight we all ate at my moms house so win for me for not having to cook!

[lrjjj08]

Tonight - chicken limone over pasta
Tuesday - steak stir fry
Wednesday - pork medallions, mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas
Thursday - make your own pizza
Friday - spinach salad and not sure what else.

All is subject to change if I have so e weird good aversion or just don't feel like cooking!

[kcrosem]

Tonight was quiche and hash browns
In no planned order:
Mac and cheese
Stir fry
Homemade Pizza
Winter minestrone with fennel and butternut squash.

I have the stuff to make muffins to freeze them but did not get to that yet.

[PikoPiko]

I prob should start being more organized than just demolishing anything I can get my hands on. Here's my first attempt of planning meals ahead:

Tonight: Buffalo boneless skinless chicken thighs and green beans
Tuesday: shrimps and sausage with lentils
Wednesday: beef chili
Thursday: blackened tilapia and Brussels sprouts
Friday: chicken breast stuffed with broccoli and cheese

Haven't started making freezer meals yet, prob won't make any. Perhaps I'm naive, I don't think I'll go early. My mum is coming in from London to stay for a couple months. She's gonna cook for me when she's here (and she's bringing me some of my childhood favorite snacks too!). I heart my mum.

Tomorrow (technically today now) stuffed peppers for dinner, Wednesday I'll make some dough for pizza or turn overs. From there I haven't decided.

DH decided that now is the *perfect* time for him to do a cleanse (at least he's not starting the first week after baby's birth, I guess), so I spent the weekend trying to figure out how to feed him and my flesh-eating teens for the week without making myself totally bonkers. This is also the week I'm doing all my freezer meals for post bebe, naturally, so there was at one point a Google calendar, a spreadsheet and several web sites open simultaneously while I did some internal screaming. Here's what resulted:

Monday: roasted brussels and cauliflower, baked chicken for kids and sweet potato for husband
Tuesday: Green salad w/mixed veg and avocado for growns and a freezer meal (purchased god knows when--cleaning out freezer to make room for new stuff) of garlic chicken and pasta for kids
Wednesday: veggie stew, cheddar melts for kids
Thursday: curried lentils and brown rice, green salad, grilled turkey sausage for kids
Friday: Lasagna (DH has work meeting, thank gawd, so we can all eat like normal people, guilt free)
Saturday: Leftovers for everyone!

Frozen so far (two of each, because just soooo much easier. My family is not into variety, anyway, so I just use the stuff differently each time and they don't ever notice...)
- Balsamic beef roast with carrots and onions
- Teriyaki chicken w carrots and peppers
- Shredded slow cooked Spanish chicken and black beans
- One billion banana oat flour muffins
- Dozen chocolate cupcakes (strategically hidden in a frozen veg bag. I know, it's not right, but I consider them medicinal...)
