One day per week, I cook a couple different meals that we then take for lunches throughout the next week. Recently, I have been making the same few dishes over and over. H and I are in the market for some new ideas.

Tell me what you're having for dinner so I can steal your ideas.

We're having an enchilada bake. You just cook the meat and veggies that you like in tacos/enchiladas mixed together, and then layer enchilada sauce, tortillas, meat and veggies, and shredded cheese in layers, like lasagna. And bake until it's hot and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Italian sausage in red sauce with zucchini noodles/zoodles.

Chicken vindaloo. God bless freezer meals. All I have to do is make rice when I get home.

Pork in the pressure cooker, rice and veggies. Nothing too special but I like simple dinners for after work.

Do you make this from scratch or use pre-made stuff? I can do Japanese curry like a champ, but have never ventured into the world of cooking Indian curry.

From scratch. It's not super hard; the worst part is frying the onions first. I make it in the crockpot. 

I use a recipe from this cookbook, which I've modified some.

Got up this morning and threw some chicken, lemon pepper, olive oil, lemon slices and asparagus into a crockpot. No idea how it will turn out. I was just happy I made the effort.

Oh shit. ::Lurks for ideas because I forgot to take anything out::

So, I always forget that most people eat enchiladas rolled and I was like "What? Enchiladas are always flat and layered..."

Stew in the slow cooker

I love to roast a couple whole chickens over the weekend to use for lunches and dinners. Makes for great additions to salads, tacos, pastas, rice bowls, soups. I also put the carcasses in a freezer bag in the freezer after pulling all the chicken off. When I get 5 or 6, I make a huge batch of stock that I freeze and keep on hand for soups and sauces. Love it when my food pulls double duty!

I do this too. A couple chickens or a turkey. I switch off every other month.

I'm having a stuffed pepper. Mmmm.

It's taco night.

Last night we had mashed cauliflower with cream cheese, sausage, and bacon bits mixed in then covered with cheese. Nom nom nom.

These are all deliciously mouth watering suggestions. I will have new ideas for weeks!!!

We're having roast chicken thighs with mashed parsnips and maybe some wilted spinach or some kale chips.

For lunch today, I made vegan taco salad: chopped avocado, black beans, tangerines, mango, tomatoes, jalapeño, onions, and cilantro mixed up with lots of lime juice and served with tortilla chips. It was so good.

I made a beer can chicken a couple of weeks ago. It was super easy to make and DH said it was really good and juicy (I don't eat meat). You can take the leftovers and make chicken salad or something!

We're having garden salads with grilled chicken strips on top. Fruit salad, too.
