We have plans quite a few days this week, so...
Monday: pub burgers on pretzel bun and grilled bell peppers
Tuesday: pasta with Italian sausage and sauce
Wednesday: Costco
Thursday: I'm out to dinner, H on his own

What is this garlic parm chicken?! 

[lilyelayne]

Mon- leftovers
Tues- stir fry (deer or duck)
Wed- at my grandma's
Thurs- undecided
Fri- undecided

Question- I'm going to the beach for a week and want to bring along frozen meals. It's 7 adults & 2 toddlers & my LO. Suggestions? SIL2 doesn't eat red meat, and none of the ILs like spicy food.
I'm thinking
-chicken enchiladas
-chicken pot pie (never frozen this before!)
- ?

We just got a Costco membership (we have BJ's down the street, but Costco>BJ's)...anyone have Costco food hacks for me? Anything you can't live without?

[kartish]

I'm going to try and actually start doing this. Especially since we just got a quarter beef and a whole pig from the butcher.

Monday leftovers
Tuesday pulled pork and baked macaroni
Wednesday Vegetarian tikki masala
Thursday Work party at the ballpark
Friday Taco bar at my mom's Birthday party
Saturday sloppy joes and tots
Sunday Chicken thighs over wild rice

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne, what about this except use ground turkey instead of hamburger. It freezes really well.

veggie lasagna

precooked taco meat (ground beef and chicken)

mrsclark731, oh we loooooove Costco.

Frozen foods we get: chicken breasts, taquitos and mini bagel dogs (good smack weekend food lol), chicken tortilla soup (serve with rice and it is a full meal), ravioli.

Other foods: snap pea crisps, chips, salsa, hummus, quinoa/wild ride, red lobster biscuit mix.

Their beer, liquor and wine selection is so good. Their Kirkland vodka is bottled at the Grey goose plant.

We also love their take and bake and fresh things- mac n cheese, call ones and awesome rotisserie chicken.

We're going on Wednesday and planning just to have dinner there.

Thank you, Thank you!!

Your Costco hacks are on point  

Of the three Costcos that are equally as far away (all three in different states) only one has a liquor store! We are going to that one next week!

M - was supposed to be Caprese pasta with chicken, but both kids took dreadful naps and I had no time for prep. So DH, my hero, picked up tacos.
T - Santa Fe chicken over quinoa with salad
W - Breakfast for dinner - French toast with sausage and fruit
Th - Back to school night, so leftovers for DH and DS.. and me too once I get home. I'm always too nervous to eat before.
F - Beer brats with salad and sweet potato fries if it cools off a bit (not turning the oven on when it's 100 degrees out)

[mommadozer]

mrsclark731 we love Costco.

-natures domain dog food is really good.

-premarinated meats are awesome for meal planning

-frozen chicken, hard to beat the price.

DH is doing nutrisystem. So, my meals for the week are just chicken or carne asada with a ton of veggies. I'm trying to eat as clean as I possibly can. I'm mainly concentrating on eating no grains during the week. I will eat corn tortillas on occasion but no flour.

This is my dessert for the week. Super quick and yummy when trying to control calorie intake. I made a milkshake version with ice tonight since I didn't have time to let it freeze.

Monday: veggie mac and cheese with turkey sausage
Tuesday: chicken salad wraps, salad
Wednesday: crockpot rotisserie chicken, sweet potatoes, salad
Thursday: avocado pasta with turkey sausage and tomatoes, salad
Friday: brown sugar garlic chicken thighs, squash, zucchini and peppers

mishka29, I saw it a few weeks ago on a Parenting meal thread. It's so good. This will be the third time making it since I saw it. Recipe says green beans, but I've done asparagus and this week will be doing bell peppers probably.

How do you make your chicken souvlaki?

Thanks!

I buy a bottled marinade. I'm too lazy to bbq on a week night so I just fry in a pan. I also broil some peppers and onions. 

[Mom2Ms]

I'm not that great of a cook, so I don't do it as much as I should. I saw the ads for "Hello Fresh" - anyone try that yet??

[dreemkin]

All I've got this week is crab bake/pie that I was supposed to make last week but kept falling through. Otherwise, it'll be frozen meals til we go grocery shopping. We've also been eating left over grilled chicken for a few days. I know...not much inspiration in this response lol.
