Eat at Home 3!

[TwoMisfits]

Okay, so after a trip to HMart, here's my plan...
Sun - Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Shells, fresh style (I subbed in fresh spinach, fresh basil, and fresh fennel fronds and added mozzarella to this recipe...plus, I cut the spinach in 1/2 - family likes it cheesier...and used the last of my caponata blended into a marinara sauce for the sauce) https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/16663/spinach-and-cheese-stuffed-pasta-shells/, Caprese Salad, Strawberries
Mon (Pool Day) - BLTAs (kids asked for avocados and didn't eat them...and Hmart had Romaine and Tomatoes so cheap), Baked Fries, Blueberries and Cherries
Tues (Game Day) - I'm bringing a fruit tray for the kids' lunch (the other parent has handled every lunch, so I pretty much told the other parent this was coming, so she could plan anything else she wanted)...for dinner, I'm thinking I will finally do my Korean Pancakes with Fresh Veg, Strawberries and Bananas
Wed (Pool Day) - Chicken Caesar Salads, Betty Crocker Pasta Salad, Double Blueberry Muffins
Thurs (Bowling Day) - Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie Base, Baked Biscuits (I don't like putting these in a crock), Fruit Salad
Fri (Pool Day) - Frozen Pizza and Smoothies
Sat - OUT

Well we stuck to the plan most days. On my day off I had to take DS to oral surgeon consultation (Ugh, he has to have wisdom teeth pulled! Sticker shock with that price- almost double what is was for 6 years ago when older DS had his done!), then DH had to stay late at work for a meeting so I had to take the dog for her vet follow up (she got into something and had an allergic skin reaction), and our flooring quote was ready so we went by to go over that and pay to order materials. Since DS was working we just picked up a Little Caesar's pizza for the 2 of us, so at least that was cheap. The other night DS worked we had leftover pork chops and spanakopita. For my grocery trip this week I am buying for the next two weeks since I found some great grilling recipes. Then next week I'll only have to buy a few perishables. Not sure the order yet since I'll be working around mine and DS's work schedules.

bacon cheeseburgers w/chips & dip and fruit
grilled chicken alfredo with spinach
pressed chicken salad sandwiches with fruit
grilled pork chops with grilled plums and Asian rice
Greek meatball gyros and grilled veggies
steak street tacos with refried beans
Hawaiian burgers with pineapple and baked beans
peanut butter bbq pork kabobs with green beans
grilled Buffalo chicken with cucumber salad
chicken salad (with everyone's own favorite ingredients)
bbq pork pizzas
steak nachos

This week, our bathroom remodel starts and the kids are in camp, so I don't know how it will go, but better to have a plan and change it than have no plan at all...PS - It was also berry week at the store, so I have them all to fit in...

Forgot DS was having wisdom teeth pulled this past Wed. so I sent him to the store Mon. to buy some soup, applesauce, pudding, and oatmeal so he'd have soft stuff to eat for a couple days. Here's what we did:
Sun: bacon cheeseburgers and fruit, plus DS brought home cheesy ranch fries he made from work for us all to share
Mon: steak street tacos with refried beans
Tue: grilled chicken alfredo with spinach
Wed: chicken salad for DH and I
Thu: since DS wasn't eating and I had to stay late at work DH just ate the leftover chicken spinach alfredo and I made a sandwich with yogurt when I got home
Fri: grilled pork chops with grilled plums and Asian rice
Sat: DS eating at work, DH will grab something on way home from church, and I'm working so I'll grab something on the way to work

Now we have an extra meal for next week. Based on my work schedule (not sure of DS's yet) I think we'll do:

Sun (10-8): peanut butter bbq pork kabobs with green beans
Mon (off): Hawaiian burgers with pineapple and baked beans
Tue (off): steak nachos
Wed (1-10): grilled Buffalo chicken with cucumber salad
Thu (1-10): Greek meatball gyros and grilled veggies
Fri (9-6): pressed chicken salad sandwiches with fruit
Sat (7-5): eat out after church
Sun (off): bbq pork pizzas

Meal planning on a budget will be tricky for the next few weeks. DH has been told he's heading towards high cholesterol by his doctor (portion control and less burgers would help there!) and his grandma is staying with us for two weeks and she is on quite a restricted diet for her kidney function. No yellow/orange fruits and veg, very low carb/starch and low dairy... And I've got at least 2 late nights and work too.

Sun- will depend what I see at the store today! Maybe a mushroom and lentil pie.
Mon- mince, lentil and zuchinni spaghetti bolognese with low gi noodles and a side of broccoli
Tues- soup/baked beans
Wed- leftover spaghetti bolognese
Thurs- fritatta and salad
Fri- chicken karaage burgers
Sat- chickpea cutlets and whatever leftover veg we have.
