I need to use them up, so I have 2 for dinner tonight but I don't know how I can prepare them so they're more subtle. The last time I made them I pan seared them and then baked them alongside apple bread stuffing.

He also doesn't care for bread or hunks of meat - prefers ground up things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-plan-for-the-week-1#post-2527020 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 10:40:03 +0000 Silva 2527020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump bump bump.....halllllllp me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-plan-for-the-week-1#post-2521746 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 17:06:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2521746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M: Vietnamese Caramel Chicken<br /> T: Thai Basil Chicken<br /> W: Leftovers<br /> Th: Kimchi curry<br /> Fri: Pizza &amp; Movie night </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-plan-for-the-week-1#post-2521423 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 13:04:58 +0000 Charm54 2521423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M: bacon tomato spinach pasta &amp; garden salad<br /> T: chicken nuggets &amp; sweet potato fries, peas<br /> W: take out, I have meeting<br /> Th: grilled chicken kabobs, couscous &amp; Greek salad<br /> Fr: bbq chicken pizza<br /> Sa: nachos<br /> Sun: dinner @ my parents</p> <p>Not the healthiest menu but we have a busy week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-plan-for-the-week-1#post-2521421 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 13:04:06 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2521421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This week we are having<br /> -boudin, broccoli, Lima beans<br /> -pulled pork, sweet potatoes, salad<br /> -spaghetti squash topped with ground turkey and red sauce<br /> -hamburgers, carrot sticks<br /> -salmon, green beans, salad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-plan-for-the-week-1#post-2521414 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 12:59:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2521414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M: Brats .. roasted asparagus<br /> T: beef stew with sweet potatoes</p> <p>that's as far as I've gotten and I'm proud of myself haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-plan-for-the-week-1#post-2521048 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 07:47:09 +0000 LuLu Mom 2521048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M: avocado chicken pasta<br /> T: tortilla pizzas<br /> W: grilled shrimp tacos<br /> Th: baked fish, rice, and veggies<br /> Fri: flank steak and veggies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-plan-for-the-week-1#post-2521001 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 02:29:37 +0000 Tidybee 2521001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sunday - turkey burgers, green salad<br /> Monday - grilled chicken, avocado and tomato pizza<br /> Tuesday - veggie stir fry over brown rice<br /> Wednesday - zucchini noodles and turkey meatballs<br /> Thursday - frozen cheese pizza and salad<br /> Friday - crockpot chicken tortilla soup </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/menu-plan-for-the-week-1#post-2520967 Sun, 10 Apr 2016 21:38:44 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2520967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: it's a Korean dish.
