What's for Dinner? June 15-21st

[virginiaorjohn]

What are you making this week?

[kellybenelly83]

Monday: ginger stir fry
Tuesday: tacos
Wednesday: Stew
Thursday: maybe burgers with quinoa salad
Friday: take out! Its date night

[virginiaorjohn]

AFM, I am thinking of putting in some effort tonight/tomorrow to have a couple of frozen meals handy. My nausea seems to be hitting me right at the time I should be making dinner, and so I'm thinking it would be good to have a backup plan for the really bad days. I'm thinking of doing some meatballs with lots of herbs first, and we can have them over raw zucchini noodles (which is my new favorite thing ever.)

I have a basic meal plan for the week, but it's pretty boring - stuffed peppers, salad with roast chicken, sausages with sautéed summer squash.
What about you ladies?

You were so quick to reply I love it! Also ginger stir fry sounds amazing. More ginger, always, I say.

[kellybenelly83]

I love ginger so much, but to tell you the truth, its the tacos that I want really badly right now. Even though anything with tomato in it is killing my reflux, I want tacos with salsa SO bad.

I have always been a steadfast meal planner but that's come to a halt with this nausea/food aversion situation. So far the only meals I've planned for this week are:

vietnamese summer rolls
salmon rice bowls

Seems all I can stomach is rice/rice products, fish, and fruit. Healthy, I guess!

[mrsred09]

Monday: Pulled Pork and salad (left over from yesterday's BBQ)

Tuesday: Grilled chicken Parm with Spaghetti Squash & Pesto

Wednesday: Stir Fry with Carrot Noodles

Thursday: Mexican stuffed Peppers

Friday: Lemon Chicken with mixed veggies and salad

[pbandj714]

I really need to get better about meal planning.

Tonight we're having leftover mojito lime fish tacos. YUM.

The rest of the week, we'll see.

[britterrss]

Monday: Hot Dogs - fully cooked, all natural, with no added nitrates/nitrites (Applegate)
Tuesday: Pork chops with rice and broccoli

That's as far as I've gotten. I don't like food right now.

[EatsRitz]

Mon- taco salad
Tues- parmesan tilapia, broccoli, steak fries
Wed- chicken alfredo
Thurs- meatloaf, red potatoes, green beans
Fri- quinoa broccoli casserole
Sat- pizza (DH and I will be OOT and my mom is staying with the kids, so this is easy for her)
Sun- brinner

[tkford216]

I can't even put together a meal plan right now because I want everything and can't decide. I can tell you though that we bought a shit ton of sweet potato fries that I can make for a snack when we get home from work until H is hungry enough for dinner.

I'm still craving soup, so maybe we'll make a couple soup recipes this week. And grilled cheese. And spaghetti? Mmmmmm....

[kelle017]

I'm actually on the ball for this week. Not fancy but I've got to use up some things before going to the store this week
Monday- Leftover tacos/rice & blueberries
Tuesday- sausage and onions with any left over grape tomatos and frozen bell peppers, grapes
Wednesday- tortellini and garlic bread. Mandarian oranges
Thursday - brats
Friday- cheesy potatoes in the crockpot

[bee]

I don't know why I made a meal plan. Nothing sounds good to me either. We do two weeks at a time but shop for fresh veggies and fruit weekly.

Chili
Taco lasagna
Lasagna
Shrimp Alfredo
Pizza
Shepherds pie
Taco egg rolls

Shit I can't remember the rest.

I had taco's last night and they actually settled well, although I was full after one.  My snack this morning was chips and salsa and it was perfect.

Mango salsa? Or is that taco blasphemy?

[kh59]

In no particular order:

Pizza with roasted peppers and olive, side of cantaloupe
Indian-style red lentils with rice, side of kale or chard
Tuna melts, radishes, and zucchini pickles
Creamy tomato spinach pasta
Goulash
Bean and quinoa chili
Ham and cheese waffles, side of roasted carrots

Wow I'm surprised by all the people who plan their meals out for the entire week in advance! DH and I just usually agree on what to eat the morning of and take what we need to out of the freezer to defrost. But our meals sound relatively simple compared to everybody else also.

Last night we had a DELICIOUS meal of steak, corn and bread. Tonight will be pork chops, corn and bread.

We usually rotate some combo of steak/pork/chicken/hamburgers + corn/potatoes + bread; or pizza; or tacos; or eat out.

[piperhalliwell]

Tonight we're having gnocchi w/ marinara because I just got smacked with exhaustion and can't give any fucks about doing something more elaborate.

The rest of the week, order tbd based on how I feel each day:

Pork tenderloin, zucchini, mashed sweet potatoes
Trader Joe's chicken pot pie ravioli w/green beans - SS saw this the other day and requested it as his special meal this week
Stir Fry or Grilled Kabobs - whichever DH prefers to make
Curry Chicken & Broccoli Casserole
Frozen Pizzas

[mrsred09]

auchick913 DH is a diabetic so I have to plan ahead or else we eat boring food everyday.

[kellybenelly83]

I wanted tacos so badly I made them tonight! Totally hit the spot!!

[alpies]

I'm usually a dedicated meal planner but nausea has me avoiding all food related thoughts right now. So just flying by the seat of my pants this week. End result is usually something simple and easy, and easy on the stomach, a la cheese quesadillas, grilled cheese, or eggs and toast.

It's so hard to find meats without nitrates! So this is good to know. I have see Applegate stuff at Target I think. Next time I head out of town I'll have to look, because of course I can't find anything nitrate free in my town.

I really need this thread this week! I went to the store today and was really struggling to come up with meals for the week. I ended up just doing spaghetti tonight and got sweet potatoes for tomorrow (thanks to our thread last week!) I also might make egg+avocado salad sandwiches one night. DH won't be home for suppers this week so I am trying to cook lighter.

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

DH is out of town until late Friday night, so it's going to be frozen dinners and leftovers all week for DD and I.

[musicalsilver]

DH joked that we wouldn't have to meal plan this week because we have so many leftovers from our part on Saturday. However, he froze so many of them that now I think we're going to have to ... so thanks for the reminder/motivation! I like to go shopping on Tuesdays, so Monday is our "normal" meal planning night these days.

Tonight we had a mixed green salad with pulled pork and a red cabbage/bell pepper/onion/carrot asian slaw on top. Leftovers from Saturday.


Tuesday: Greek chicken salad on pita
Wednesday: Bangers and mash with some red cabbage
Thursday: Taco salad
Friday: Egg salad sandwiches
Saturday: ??
Sunday: Pepperoni pizza
Monday: Russian winter salad (I'm skeptical, but DH wanted to try it)

[lvlyldybmp]

I hit the fatigue wall today, so DH was lucky I even got off the couch.
M,T,W will be bunless cheeseburgers with salad
T,F,S will probably something with chicken, maybe burrito bowls.
Sunday- who knows, we can go get sushi on Sunday... mmm, sushi...

Mango salsa can never be blasphemy!

Summer is my crazy busy season at work so we've been doing Hello Fresh for 3 dinners a week.  It's been a lifesaver and I love getting fresh fruits/veggies into our diet without making too much effort.  Aside from that we do a lot of pasta (I make and freeze a huge crockpot of spaghetti sauce) and grilled meats with basic veggie/fruit (hello watermelon season!) sides :-)

Who made the suggestion for the delicious sweet potatoes with chili powder? I have made them twice in less than a week. They are so good and so easy!

I'm making them tomorrow, and I'm going to take the suggestion to eat them with black beans, avocado, and sour cream!

I have done sweet potatoes with chili powder before and it's a great combo! I'm looking forward to adding in the other goods tomorrow!
