I use it during the week for paninis. It makes a plain cold sandwich more special with really no extra effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-meal-planning#post-1222993 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 00:59:10 +0000 sarac 1222993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made a nice little crock pot meal for my husband while he parents alone tomorrow night. </p> <p>Chili Lime Chicken</p> <p>take a few (I did two, but whatever) chicken breasts and put them in the bottom of a slow cooker. cover with chopped garlic and onion. sprinkle on some chili powder (could swap with taco seasoning or cumin), and squeeze a lime over. Slow cook on low all day, or high for a few hours. </p> <p>Shred the meat, and then use it on tostadas or burritos. We take tostadas, spread on a layer of refried beans, then top with black beans, chicken, salsa, sour cream, cheese, cilantro. Whatever. This is a really easy and super delicious meal, and easy to make ahead. I make it the night before, and then just put in on to slow cook in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-meal-planning#post-1222967 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 00:14:04 +0000 lovehoneybee 1222967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Periwinkle: I'm bad about following recipes, but this is the one I base mine off of: <a href="http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/roasted-butternut-squash-rosemary-garlic-lasagna-10000000780383/" rel="nofollow">http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/roasted-butternut-squash-rosemary-garlic-lasagna-10000000780383/</a></p> <p>There are some great looking recipes out there, but D hates ricotta cheese and I'm eh about a tomato sauce with the squash, so this one suits us well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-meal-planning#post-1222949 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 23:53:53 +0000 DillonLion 1222949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tamale pie with ground turkey<br /> Chili lime grilled chicken salad<br /> Spaghetti with meatballs, brussel sprouts<br /> Loaded baked potatoes made with leftovermeat from one of the above dishes<br /> And then a few nights of simple dinners like sanwiches or takeout </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-meal-planning#post-1222930 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 23:20:35 +0000 Periwinkle 1222930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: that was about as far as I made it today- crock pot chili!

We use the beans for burritos, quesadillas, and just plain old rice and beans.</p> <p>Today I'm making:<br /> Beef and spinach empanadas<br /> Broccoli, carrot, potato nuggets<br /> Sausage and caramelized onions</p> <p>I will also make a big pot of rice. The only thing I cook after work are the veggies. Everything else is just reheated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-meal-planning#post-1221874 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 09:46:20 +0000 Ra 1221874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Monday- Pasta with fresh tomato sauce<br /> Tuesday- Tuscan sausage soup with shell pasta<br /> Wednesday- Chicken Tikka Masala<br /> Thursday- Broiled Rosemary Salmon with roasted brussel sprouts<br /> Friday- Steak with asparagus and mashed potatoes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weekly-meal-planning#post-1221857 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 09:32:25 +0000 Periwinkle 1221857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been a few weeks since we did a Sunday shop/big cook and I think we will be doing that today. I work full time and don't have much time/energy to cook after work, so I am looking for your inspiration to plot out a few cook-ahead or easy night-of meals. </p> <p>What will you be cooking/eating this week? </p>
