Meal Planning! 11/22

[rablissful]

What are you eating this week?

Since it's Thanksgiving this week in the states, are you hosting? If so, what are you making? If you aren't hosting, are you bringing anything to your celebration?

Thanks for starting this rablissful. I have no idea what we will be eating tomorrow through Wednesday. Thursday we will be going to BIL and SILs for Thanksgiving. I am making Mac n cheese, stuffing, deviled eggs (appetizer), and a strawberry rhubarb pie. We are also picking up ice cream from an awesome local place to go on top of pies! Friday we are headed up to H's grandmother's for the weekend, so we will probably eat out a lot.

Sunday- We went to my parents for dinner! We had lasagna and garlic bread. So delicious.

Monday- My SO will be at a company party and I have to pick up my MIL at work. She'll be buying me some dinner (she works at Whole Foods).

Tuesday- Russian chicken in the crock pot with rice.

Wednesday- lemon butter baked cod

Thursday- Thanksgiving at my ILs! There shall be turkey and pie and other delicious food.

Friday- tacoooos!

Saturday- crispy lemon chicken and pasta


My ILs are hosting Thanksgiving this year. I plan on making baked brie en crout for an appetizer. My SO wants to make a side using carrots from the garden and I just found this recipe for maple glazed bacon wrapped roasted carrots that I think will be delicious! I might do rolls too, I'll ask MIL tomorrow when I see her.

We are hosting (AH!) for 10 of my family (including H and I).

We got a 20 pound turkey for 11 dollars thanks to a coupon H gets from work. It's thawing in the fridge now - not sure if it will be thawed by Wednesday. I'm thinking about brining - anyone brine their turkey? I did it before and the turkey was good, but I also used one of those sketchy plastic oven bags so I don't really know what was responsible for keeping the turkey moist... anyone have any tips and tricks? I usually rub butter under the skin, put a couple veggies in the cavity of the turkey for flavor and cover it in tin foil until the last 15 minutes.

My Mom is in charge of the potatoes, squash, cranberry sauce. Aunts/Uncles are bringing relish trays, pies, salads so I really just have to do the turkey and some finger foods!

Mon-Weds we got simple deli meat and sandwich stuff. I also got a frozen stirfry thing and have asparagus to add to it.

Sunday: oven roasted chicken thighs with a maple and honey mustard glaze, mashed potatoes and roasted zuchini.

Monday: shrimp and pesto pasta with baby tomoatoes.

Tuesday: take out, since we have chiro.

Wednesday: DH is in charge of diner, since I have a hair appointment.

The rest of the week is even more up in the air.

Last week we had 1 too many take outs so hoping we stick to the plan.

Sunday- ate out, tacos. I know, bad start. But I'm already prepping tomorrows dinner.
Monday- Beef stew with veggies
Tues- Chicken wings (oven roasted) with spaghetti
Weds- Turkey burgers with avocado & sweet potato fries
Thurs- thanskgiving at my sisters. I'm making oven roasted veggies and cookies.
Frid- Leftovers

So today my dh tells me his sister and her family are coming over to our house for thanksgiving. Wth. I'm not sure if SIL actually said this or not. But for now, the plan is my sisters place 3-5. Then my place 6 pm. I'm not making turkey. If we do host a late dinner it's going to be ribs and baked potatoes.
