I just went shopping and had some minor ideas of things!

I just made chili - mmm! Enough to eat throughout the week.
Chicken tenderloins...not sure exactly what I will do with these yet but maybe just cook and put on salads.
Kale - I've been baking it with sesame oil, sesame seeds and lemon juice. It's so delicious! Partially crispy, partially soft.
beef stir-fry -- I bought a frozen beef stir-fry thing but got fresh snap peas, asparagus and mushrooms to add too it.

I also got the ingredients to make these: www.nutritionistinthekitch.com/vegan-pb-j-energy-bars/
They will be nice quick breakfast bars...I'll let you know if they are a disaster.

I haven't even though really about dinners this week. I know I'm having sushi tonight. I should eat at home tomorrow and Tuesday, but H is OOT, and I would rather eat out than cook.

-Maybe Outback tomorrow
-Something easy like a Boca Burger on Tuesday
-H will be home Wed and Thurs, so I have no idea
-maybe dinner with a friend on Friday -if not, then probably eat out again!

We did our big Costco run yesterday. Probably will go to Trader Joe's and Fred Meyer later today.

Tonight: Flatbread pizza (chicken pesto w/ sundried tomatoes and onions)

Rest of the week (no order):
Boolkogi beef, sweet potato fries and a salad
Broccoli and Cheese soup with shredded chicken
Steak, corn on the cob and salad
Coconut curry chicken with rice and peas
Pork tenderloin, sweet potatoes and salad
Something with fish, I haven't decided yet.

These vegan bars really don't hold together well - I ended up forming them into bars and wrapping each bar in wax paper. They aren't hard to make but they are messy to make.

[TheEleventhHour]

mosdub In general most bars I have made are messy and never look pretty like the photos but they always taste good!

I have no idea when I am making what but here's what I have to make ...
- spaghetti squash with sauce and meatballs
- three bean vegetarian chili
- baked potato soup
- lasagna
- leftovers from the freezer that need to get eaten!

mosdub I love kale but usually just steam in some olive oil and toss with feta or parm, I'm gonna totally try your way!
I'm out of town until Wed...I predict H will eat a lot of pizza.
I haven't planned the end of the week...we might eat out a lot...

[kayladawn91]

In no particular order:
-Grilled steak w/ sweet potatoes and steamed veggies
-Crock Pot Hungarian Beef Stew
-Paleo Sausage Stuffed Peppers
-Enchilada Chicken Stew
-Roast w/ sweet potatoes and carrots
-White Chicken Chili

[littlelion]

gabride2010 I like the way you menu plan!

-chicken w veggies soup
-lasagna w garlic bread
-chicken enchiladas w rice and salad
-eggs for dinner

if you over-do it it becomes kale chips so be careful!  (Even though kale chips are delicious!)  Also cut off the stalks because they don't get cooked enough to not be chewy.

Living with the ILs has made meal planning difficult. I swear my MIL critiques every grocery item I bring into the house. I have alot of food sensitivities and she doesn't really understand why I can't comingle certain foods.

Anyway, so far meals have been really good this week.

Saturday - Grilled Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches.

Sunday - I had roasted chicken breast with potatoes and carrots. H and ILs had corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes.

Monday - Chicken and Andouille Sausage Jumbalaya over white rice.

We're going to Olive Garden with MIL at some point this week because she is dying to go and FIL won't.

Late to the party but I love this thread....

Our meal plan went off course a little last week after a) my H consumed more leftovers for lunches than I planned and b) my parents came into town early on Friday and suggested going out to eat SO, 2 meals from last week got pushed into this week.

Sunday-Broccoli Cheese Soup
Monday-Skillet Pork Chops w/ Apples
Tuesday-Vegetable Beef Bowtie Pasta
Wednesday-Leftovers
Thursday-White Chicken Chili
Friday-Leftovers (DS and I out of town for the night so H on his own)
Saturday-Skinny Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Meal planning continues to be limited by our oven that decided to quit working 2 or so weeks ago. So stovetop and crockpot meals it is.

Recommendations, please! I bought some pre-cut butternut squash the other day and I need to use it up tonight or its going to start to get squishy.

I usually just toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Does anyone have a more creative go-to?

As a thanks-in-advance, I share with you this delicious and reasonably healthy recipe that I tried on Sunday - it was gobble up very quickly my my 14-month old and my husband alike.
Cider Braised Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potatoes

judyblume14, I only make squash one way. Cut in cubes & boil it until soft. Whip like you would mashed potatoes- mixing in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg.
