WFD

[nursedesi]

I'm always needing inspiration for dinner. MH is super picky and Henry only wants chicken, pepperoni or pb sandwichs and cant have cheese. I love everything. Logan is starting to get picky too.

Tonight baked chicken, wild rice, sweet potatoe fries

Wed - BFD - likely french toast with bacon

Thurs - chicken egg roll in a bowl

Fri - movie night at school so pizza and whatever we take for Henry

Sat - Henry is having a friend stay the night (eek!) So I'm not for sure what he will eat

Sunday - probably MIL will bring food over

I did a whole chicken in the crockpot for the first time yesterday. Cooked up pretty quick and was really tasty. I've gotten 3 meals from it so far: chicken dinner first night, buffalo chicken over zucchini noodles tonight, and crockpot is on to nake stock overnight for chicken soup tomorrow. I feel so frugal!

Sunday I made Jambalaya & we had leftovers last night

Tuesday - creamy tomato tortellini soup & dipping bread (Dagny won't eat soup but MH & I love this so I usually let her eat something else)

Wednesday- meatloaf, mashed potatoes & salad

Thursday- salsa chicken in the crockpot

Friday - likely pizza

Yesterday: orange chicken and fried rice from trader joes

Today: pasta and meatballs

Tomorrow: taco pasta bake

Thurs & Friday: not sure yet. I have bunch of freezer meals that I can use, so just have to decide if I want to make any.

Sunday was stuffed peppers with quinoa and black beans (essentially a taco stuffed pepper) with salad.

Monday was chicken piccata with oven roasted potatoes and broccoli.

Tuesday was leftover taco chili.

Tonight is leftover pork with mushrooms and barley (kind of a pork stir fry).

Thursday is tomato parmesan basil soup in the crock pot.

Friday is H's birthday so I have a little surprise get together with our friends at a nice restaurant.

Saturday is the smoked sausage and cheesy rice that someone had posted last week.

This is one of my favorite things to do. We usually get at least two meals out of it and the chicken is so juicy and tender.

Monday: Baked pork chops, wild rice, green beans, asparagus
Tue: Chili with corn muffins
Wed: Probably chicken and vegetables

roo1582, do you have a recipe for the tomato soup? Is it from scratch or using canned tomato soup as a base?

One of my goals is to start using my crockpot while I'm at home now but I really have no idea how to do it. Whenever I tried chicken, it would come out dry and since I don't eat it H had to eat all of it and try to describe what I had done. I think one problem was that I used boneless breasts and I don't think they work as well. Does the whole chicken work better? How do you do it? (Tell me as if I were a 5 year old, I'm really that bad when it comes to cooking meat, poor H).

My dinners this week

Sunday: Out with parents
Monday: Yogurt and blackberries (all Patrick would eat)
Tuesday: Out with parents
Wednesday: Yellow rice with veggies that I need to use.
Thursday: Frozen pizza (kids are at inlaws for dinner)
Friday: Probably frozen ravioli and broccoli
Saturday: Maybe oatmeal or pancakes for dinner.

Two themes that are appearing in my meals
1. Dinner out with parents/inlaws. They want as much time with the boys before we move.
2. Frozen things, I'm trying to use everything in the freezer. Some of it is getting tossed though.

Here is the recipe.  You will see two versions: stove top and crock pot.  It is honestly one of my favorite soups. It uses canned diced tomatoes and chicken broth, so its pretty easy.
