I put the panko on top a little later, otherwise it burns)<br /> Whole roasted chicken, from Costco!<br /> Pasta bake<br /> Buttermilk chicken tenders (dip tenders in buttermilk, then dip in a mix of bisquick, seasoned salt, cajun seasoning and chopped pecans. Place on baking sheet and drizzle with melted butter. This is from a member of the boards, sooo good). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624518 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 19:47:44 +0000 autumnleaves 2624518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pork chops, ranch dressing powder pack, cream of chicken soup on high for 4 hours or low for 6.

Takes a while to cook but the prep is super easy and once you stick it in the oven you just leave it! <a href="http://www.crowthercafe.com/easyrecipe-print/646-0/" rel="nofollow">http://www.crowthercafe.com/easyrecipe-print/646-0/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624404 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 15:21:38 +0000 mfa_lady 2624404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was coming to suggest crock pot pulled pork, so another vote for that! Also, I've made this a couple of times and it's so easy and pretty. (Maybe too similar to taco night, but you could also just do some different seasonings and still serve over rice or quinoa or something!)</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IehX_6FHTNw&#038;index=11&#038;list=PL8zglt-LDl-iwBHEl3Pw1IhWGp9cfgMrc" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IehX_6FHTNw&#038;index=11&#038;list=PL8zglt-LDl-iwBHEl3Pw1IhWGp9cfgMrc</a></p> <p>(We've just done like a buffet-style instead of pre-making the bowls because we had it for dinner instead of pre-prepped.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624397 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 15:17:34 +0000 gingerbebe 2624397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Entree salad night, like a big Cobb salad for the adults. Just chop the meat off a rotisserie chicken and give the kids the drumsticks and wings, plus whatever they want of the salad ingredients and then give them some bread. </p> <p>Pulled pork in the crockpot is a 2 for 1. Crockpot a pork butt or shoulder seasoned with onion powder, salt and pepper, a bay leaf, and 1T of Worchestershire sauce for each pound of meat. Let it go overnight on LOW. Mix up half the meat with BBQ sauce for pulled pork sandwiches (just buy buns, chips, and coleslaw or potato salad at the store). The other half shred up and throw on a cookie sheet and put under the broiler for a few minutes for amazing carnitas for your taco night. </p> <p>Chili and spaghetti meat sauce is another 2 for 1 type deal. Make a standard ground beef tomato sauce with oregano, onions, chopped bell pepper, garlic, etc. Ladle out half of the sauce for spaghetti night. To the pot now add chili powder and cumin (or a packet of chili seasoning), 2 cans of beans, and some corn if you want and you've got chili (buy some cornbread from the store or serve on baked potatoes). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624350 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 14:21:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 2624350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure what your weather is but here are some ideas: </p> <p>pot roast with potatoes/carrots/onion (let the crockpot do the work!)<br /> Grilled Skewers: chicken/steak and veggies<br /> Lasagna (unless you are against 2 Italian mealss but you can make ahead and just bake with salad and bread)<br /> Baked pork chops with veggies and rice<br /> BLTs with pasta salad and fruit<br /> Grilled Cheese and tomato soup (I buy the red pepper tomato bisque from trader joes...so good and not in a can...but a container haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624305 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 13:28:41 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2624305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fish (baked) with rice and a frozen veggie? </p> <p>Chicken (baked) -and some roasted potatoes and carrots </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624291 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 13:18:52 +0000 YogiRunner 2624291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: A few quiches with pre made frozen dough? You can throw in precooked sausage, shredded cheese and whatever veggies are in season.</p> <p>Or a chili for the crockpot? This one is my favorite and the prep is minimal (just chopping some veggies and mincing garlic) <a href="https://smittenkitchen.com/2010/09/beef-chili-sour-cream-and-cheddar-biscuits/" rel="nofollow">https://smittenkitchen.com/2010/09/beef-chili-sour-cream-and-cheddar-biscuits/</a></p> <p>Other idea is grabbing a rotisserie chicken or two! My supermarket always has them on sale for $5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624289 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 13:18:22 +0000 travellingbee 2624289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crock pot pulled pork can make 2 nights of meals and requires almost no prep. 1. Put pork roast in crock pot. Dump in can of Dr. Pepper or Coke. Cook for 8 hours on low and then shred. Add bbq sauce or whatever and make sandwiches or put it on a baked potato. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624285 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 13:14:37 +0000 MrsSRS 2624285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stew/baguette/salad<br /> Roasted chicken thighs/potatoes/brussel sprouts<br /> Fancy grilled cheese (pesto, mozzarella, ham, tomato)<br /> Flatbread pizza </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624278 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 13:10:09 +0000 pwnstar 2624278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pot roast/ BBQ night</p> <p>Pizza night (or a casserole like broccoli chicken (chicken divan) if the older folks don't like pizza) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/meals-for-the-week-for-5#post-2624272 Tue, 20 Sep 2016 13:06:39 +0000 mediagirl 2624272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need a weeks worth of meals for 5 people. My inlaws are coming in on Saturday. If I don't plan meals, we will eat soup from a can every night and I hate soup from a can. I need to be prepared. Please help me plan for this upcoming week....meals need to be child and older adult friendly. Also, I work so they can't be labor intensive or take longer than 30-45 minutes to cook unless it's the Sunday meal, which I can spend some time on.</p> <p>I'm thinking:<br /> Spaghetti night<br /> Burger/dog night<br /> Taco night</p> <p>I need 3 more ideas. Help? :) </p>
