But on top of that here is what I’m cooking this week:</p> <p>-Thai red curry with shrimp, sweet potatoes, carrots, and broccoli (to eat with rice)<br /> -beans (to eat with rice, sauerkraut, and cheese)<br /> -granola (not really a meal but my kids eat it with yogurt as an easy meal)<br /> -korean seaweed soup<br /> -korean beef radish soup</p> <p>We might be good with that but if needed I’ll pull out frozen meals- lasagna from Costco, chicken fried rice from Trader Joe’s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plans-this-week-1#post-2915559 Mon, 18 May 2020 18:58:46 +0000 erinbaderin 2915559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m having a real hard time with meal planning - I think it’s a combination of just being tired, and the grocery situation - I order pick-up for Friday but I have to have my order finalized by Tuesday, and then there are always a bunch of substitutions....I’ve been ordering ingredients and not meals and then scrambling to make meals. So this week I’ve got some kind of stir fry (because I need to use mushrooms, broccoli, and fresh chow mein noodles), chicken burgers (ground chicken, have to finish the buns) with roasted cauliflower (whyyyy did I buy a cauliflower in late May it’s a fall vegetable!) and chicken fajitas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plans-this-week-1#post-2915529 Mon, 18 May 2020 10:55:39 +0000 Chuckles 2915529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday I made Martha Stewart's mac and cheese (via Smitten Kitchen). It's delicious and makes enough to freeze, but it dirties a bunch of big pots and pans, so that's annoying. The rest of the week I'm making chicken parmesan, fried rice, and crockpot pork tenderloin from here! <a href="https://www.hellobee.com/2014/03/07/crockpot-pork-tenderloin-that-will-make-you-cry/" rel="nofollow">https://www.hellobee.com/2014/03/07/crockpot-pork-tenderloin-that-will-make-you-cry/</a><br /> We'll also do delivery once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plans-this-week-1#post-2915523 Mon, 18 May 2020 09:39:44 +0000 bhbee 2915523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catgirl: I’m making the chicken salad tonight! </p> <p>@lindseykaye: I hear you on low effort! Chicken Caesar is on my upcoming list too. I like how you can deconstruct it for kids or make wraps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plans-this-week-1#post-2915520 Mon, 18 May 2020 08:53:03 +0000 lindseykaye 2915520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This week is low effort for me. I'm tired! Plus I have two days of PTO at the end of the week (we're being asked to take some PTO now during the pandemic).</p> <p>M-Chicken with sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese, and parmesan spaghetti. Kind of like the Chicken Bryan from Carrabba's- don't have dry white wine right now so I'll probably use chicken broth to sub. <a href="https://www.food.com/recipe/carrabbas-chicken-bryan-64356" rel="nofollow">https://www.food.com/recipe/carrabbas-chicken-bryan-64356</a><br /> T- Leftover Indian butter chicken I froze when we ordered takeout last month, with rice and naan<br /> W- Takeout/Delivery<br /> R- Cheeseburger Fried Rice (with gr. turkey) DH has asked for this for months. Similar to this recipe but I add mushrooms, used cooked rice, and sub about half BBQ/half ketchup. <a href="https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/bacon-cheeseburger-rice/" rel="nofollow">https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/bacon-cheeseburger-rice/</a><br /> F- Leftovers from earlier in the week<br /> S- Takeout/Delivery<br /> S- chicken caesar salads </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plans-this-week-1#post-2915519 Mon, 18 May 2020 07:04:51 +0000 LadyDi 2915519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: it’s from the skinny taste one and done cookbook but I found it online.

I think part of it is that the weather is finally getting nicer. Most of my cold weather meals seem too heavy but my brain hasn't switched to warm weather meals fully. Anyway, this week we are having:</p> <p>Cheeseburgers with potato wedges and salad<br /> Sweet potato and turkey skillet with roasted asparagus<br /> Banana bread french toast with sausage and fruit<br /> Crock pot cashew chicken over rice with broccoli<br /> Budget bytes "pizzadillas"<br /> Kielbasa, potato, pepper, onion hash<br /> Grilled chicken and veggies </p> <p>For lunch I just made a big batch of honey mustard chicken salad that DH and I eat over baby spinach. (It's another great budget bytes recipe) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meal-plans-this-week-1#post-2915480 Sun, 17 May 2020 13:35:20 +0000 bhbee 2915480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>share your ideas with me! I feel like I'm in a food rut and nothing sounds good.</p> <p>last night I made taquitos and guacamole, tonight we're having caprese with no-knead bread, and on next week's plan I have breakfast for dinner one night and then the Budget Bytes creamy salsa skillet one night. </p>
