Meal Planning Week of 3/20

[lakegirl]

I'm struggling with healthy ideas this week. Plus I can run to the store without kids so it's killing my motivation!

Monday: Swiss chicken w/rice and salad
Tuesday: leftovers w/maple carrots
Wednesday: ham and cheese roll ups (uses up leftover Swiss)
Thursday & Friday: make mh cook since I have no clue?

That's a lot of cheese. Sighs.

I'll share mine from last week since I haven't done mine yet.

Sriracha Chicken with noodles
Beef and broccoli with rice
Pasta & meatballs
Chicken cacciatore

Then when I had to cook all the meat because the freezer went out lol I made chili, more meatballs, grilled chicken, and steak quesedillas. This will tide us over til tomorrow.

Something not healthy from mh's childhood that he requested.

I need to get back into meal planning. I used to be so organized before I got pregnant and exhausted.

I know we will have fajitas at some point. That's all I've got. I'll report back if I manage to get myself together for the week.

Tonight we have game night, so we are making a double batch of chicken pot pie.

Monday: salmon and asparagus
Tuesday: steak and broccoli
Wednesday: chicken broccoli bacon casserole
Thursday: leftovers
Friday: fish fry

carrots, that pasta with butternut squash sauce sounds and looks amazing. Have you had it before? I think I want to make it this week.

Today I put a pork loin in the crockpot and made macaroni and cheese. So:

Sunday: BBQ pork sandwiches, mac and cheese, and carrots

Monday: pulled pork quesadillas, black beans and rice, and an undetermined veg.

Tuesday: beef stir fry using Trader Joe's soyaki sauce loaded with vegetables for dd

Wednesday: leftovers

Thursday: spaghetti squash with meat sauce, broccoli , and garlic breadsticks

Friday: one pot burrito bowls or taco soup

Mh has a chicken &a turkey allergy which is super annoying and really limits meal planning/ healthy eating.

lakegirl, I hate Swiss cheese. But Swiss chicken for some reason is heaven. Probably the butter...

[heybulldog56]

Is HF worth it? The idea of it is incredibly appealing but I don't know if I can convince Dh to spend the money for it.

It's entirely too much butter. I only used half and I couldn't tell it was missing.

Not really worth it. Full price, it's $10 per plate. We've had about 12 meals, and at least 10 of them could've been made from ingredients in my kitchen.

Plus their customer service is shit.

But, the food is tasty and it's convenient.
