Eat at Home 3!

[Becc1]

Haven't been on for awhile, I've still been meal planning but not to the extent that I usually do, we've been good and have been eating from my stockpile a lot but I'm now needing to replenish that up again. Thankfully there have been lots of great deals and coupon matchups out there the past couple of weeks!

Meal plan for the week
Monday- Chicken Marsala, rice, green beans
Tuesday - Garlic butter pork chops with pierogis and spinach
Wednesday - Kung Pao chicken, fried rice
Thursday - one pot keilbasa pasta (recipe off Pinterest)
Friday - pizza night (got a great deal on Digiornos at Giant!)
Saturday - steaks on the grill, twice baked potatoes
Sunday - Baked potato soup, Rueben sandwiches

Monday: Chicken Parmesan & Roasted Broccoli
Tuesday: Spinach Artichoke Chicken

Plans were:

Sun(off)- sloppy joes with carrots DS ended up being invited to dinner at his gf's so I made tortellini w/homemade Alfredo sauce and broccoli for DH and I (DS hates this)
Mon(off)- Hawaiian sliders with chips Ate this.
Tue(off)- cheeseburger pizza Ate the grilled chicken salad.
Wed(off)- steak sandwiches with fruit or veggies Ate this.
Thu(12:30-9:30 switched w/other manager so 8-5)- tuna or chicken pitas with fruit or veggies Ate the sloppy joes w/carrots.
Fri(8-5 switched w/other manager so 1-10)- grilled chicken salad Forgot we were doing a chili cook-off at work, so I am making a big batch of chili right now. I have enough to take to work, leave some for DS to eat, and for DH to take for dinner too- he's working 3-12 for another co-worker.

I haven't made concrete plans for next week yet. Saturday is eat out after church day as usual. The guys will get whatever they want as I have to work. I did remember I have a Chick-fil-a gift card so I'll probably use that for my dinner. Then I have the cheeseburger pizzas and the chicken/tuna pitas to use for Sun. and Mon. I am off Tue. so I'll menu plan and go shopping then.

Everything went as planned this week - I did make breakfast on Thursday, but instead of waffles, I made an old-fashioned banana chocolate chip pancake that went over gangbusters (had extra teens over, so needed to have more pancakes than I had, so I made them - they were a huge hit!). Now to the next week!
Sun - Beef and Beer Stew (Veg - Onions, Carrots, Celery, Potatoes, Mushrooms), Homemade Beer Bread (spouse has some homemade beer I need to use up)
Mon - Spaghetti and Meatballs with Fresh Tomato Sauce, Roasted Carrots, Blackberries
Tues - Roasted Cauliflower, Carrots, Tomatoes, and Onions in Butter Chicken Sauce, Baked Chicken Thighs (added directly to adults' Indian), White Rice, (Sliced Apples for Kids)
Wed - Homemade Chicken Fried Rice (with Egg/Green Onion), Homemade Egg Drop Soup, Roasted Pineapple and Bananas
Thurs - Leftovers OR Breakfast for Dinner (Sausage or Fried Chicken with Waffles and Fruit Salad)
Fri - Frozen "Fancy" Pizza (picked up a Reuben Pizza and a Baked Potato Pizza today for $3/each - now I gotta try them - this is why you shouldn't shop hungry!), Fruit Smoothies
Sat - OUT (Maybe using our Cheesecake Factory Gift Cards and Free Desserts - I have 2 months left for those...or if the weather is bad, I will have Western Omelettes with Muffins and Fruit as my backup, but I'd rather make my back up as a nice brunch - wait, I'd rather my spouse make that for brunch, since he's the weekend morning chef)

Back at this again. Work has been kicking my butt lately. We are already short staffed and we had one girl go out on maternity leave and the flu run rampant. I went to the store today and got stocked up. I also got a new food sealer to keep items from going bad and make it easy to grab quick meals from the freezer.

The plan for this coming week
Saturday (1-9:30) soup and sandwiches
Sunday (11-6:30) pork BBQ with fruit salad and chips
Monday (off) brats with German potato salad
Tuesday (off) beef stew with biscuits
Wednesday (9am-9:30pm) leftovers
Thursday (8:30-5) chili topped baked potatoes
Friday (2-9:30) breakfast for dinner
Saturday (9-5) chicken stir fry with rice

 

[Aurora_Australis]

S- pork and fennel sausage penne

T- lamb pot pies and peas
W- grilled cheese and soup, first dance class and cricket is still on for 4 weeks straight after!

Those sound amazing!!! My guys would love them- would you mind sharing the recipe?

And charming23- thank for the brats and chili-topped baked potatoes ideas! I haven't done brats in ages, and I have just enough chili leftover to make the potatoes another meal!

Now I only need two more ideas for next week...

I doubled the recipe, but left the salt amount the same (so, I halved it). I also added 1-2tsp vanilla (I did a Rachel Ray and eyeballed it), 3 mashed bananas, and 1/2-3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I eyeballed that, too...For the milk, I used whole milk...it really came out nice and fluffy. I'm gonna make these again, but with shredded apple/pear and added cinnamon (and a touch more sugar). I eat pancakes without syrup, so I tend to like to add a little extra sweetner to the cake itself...

I also let the batter sit while I prepped kiwi-strawberry fruit salad and heated the pan - seems letting the batter sit 5-10 minutes is key to a good pancake...

The doubled recipe fed 7 people with no leftovers...
