The younger one ate up all her chicken, rice, and most of the tofu, and I gave her green beans instead since the pea sprouts are a little too stringy for her; the older one ate a little of everything, like 1 bite of each thing.<br /> -Tuesday: creamy bowtie pasta with chicken, peas and carrots (this was from leftovers a month ago that we froze vacuum sealed meal, and boiled in the bag for 10 minutes). Both kids gobbled down the pasta, the younger one picked out all the peas, the older one ate it all.<br /> -Wednesday: take out Afghan food—(borani) roasted eggplant w/yogurt and garlic and dipping bread, (bolani) flatbread filled with potatoes, leeks, and yogurt to dip, (sabzi challow) lamb shank and spinach. The older one ate some of the eggplant, and some of the lamb shank and spinach, she said the flatbread was too spicy for her (it did have some spice), and the younger one ate everything and another helping (she’s generally a hearty eater) even the spicy flatbread<br /> -Thursday: Asian sesame noodles, potstickers, pan fried chicken sausage, sautéed baby bok choy. I already know the noodles, potstickers will go well for both and they’ll eat, and the older one will eat the sausage and some of the bok choy; the younger one will maybe eat some of the sausage and she might eat the bok choy<br /> Friday: slow cooker Swedish meatballs, broccoli<br /> Saturday: tbd… </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1816144 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 13:57:20 +0000 Kimberlybee 1816144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Monday: shrimp salad<br /> Tuesday: chicken curry<br /> Wednesday: Raising Cane's chicken tenders<br /> Thursday: pizza night<br /> Friday: steamed fish &amp; mix veggies</p> <p>On the weekends, we tend to order to go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1816009 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:41:09 +0000 purrpletulips 1816009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are moving so our meal plan this week was pretty wonky:</p> <p>Sunday - hot dogs/hamburgers (open house to say goodbye)<br /> Monday - spaghetti and meat sauce<br /> Tuesday - pizza (gift cert we hadn't used that expired that day)<br /> Wednesday - baked pork loin with scalloped potatoes<br /> Thursday - eat out because kitchen is packed<br /> Friday - eat out because everything will be on moving trucks<br /> Saturday - eat out (moving day)</p> <p>Normal week looks like the following because we are trying to eat healthier:<br /> Sunday-steak with grilled veggies<br /> Monday-baked chicken with steamed broccoli<br /> Tuesday-grilled/baked pork with steamed veggie<br /> Wednesday-spaghetti squash with meatballs<br /> Thursday-chicken with steamed veggie<br /> Friday-homemade pizza<br /> Saturday-meatloaf with veggies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1815984 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:35:40 +0000 Mrsjets 1815984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M: pickerel cheeks, sweet potato wedges and spinach salad<br /> T: take out chicken, fries and coleaw<br /> W: steak, bake potato, corn on the cob and green beans<br /> Today: taco salad<br /> F: BBQ hamburgers and veggies/dip</p> <p>No plans for the weekend yet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1815842 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 11:24:21 +0000 cascademom 1815842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonight: Parmesan crusted chicken tenders<br /> Tomorrow: not sure<br /> Saturday: thinking of doing turkey stuffed peppers<br /> Sunday: fish.

(Usually each meal gives us at least two nights of dinner plus a lunch or two!) tonight was skinnytaste broccoli mac and cheese modified with cauliflower to disguise the veggies (my kids still found them). Probably Thursday I will make the crock pot broccoli beef that Ms. Paintbrush posted on the HB blog. I've done that before and it's delicious! That should get is through the week although I have some hotdogs and ingredients for skinnytaste zucchini tots just in case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1812732 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 20:05:58 +0000 JessKas 1812732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Monday:<br /> Fish tacos, grilled squash and cabbage salad<br /> Tuesday: teriyaki salmon, rice, roasted broccoli<br /> Wednesday: grilled tri tip, broccoli, roasted potatoes and kale salad<br /> Thursday: chicken gyros and Greek salad<br /> Friday: burgers, roasted sweet potatoes and salad<br /> Saturday: birthday party<br /> Sunday: my husbands day to plan/cook </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1812650 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:12:10 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1812650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-Yesterday was grilled cheese and tomato soup (DH cooked).<br /> -Tonight we had chicken casserole and a chopped kale salad.<br /> -Tomorrow will be leftovers of the casserole plus green beans.<br /> -Thursdays will be Asian marinated flank steak and "hibachi" onion soup<br /> -Friday will probably be leftovers<br /> -We'll be at my ILs on Saturday and my parents on Sunday, so looks like the grandmas will be cooking for us - yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1812635 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 19:00:37 +0000 Alivoo01 1812635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most definitely!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1812616 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:42:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1812616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>quinoa noodles, chicken breast and roasted broccoli<br /> ratatouille and stir fry chicken<br /> taco bowls<br /> salmon in lemon butter and a vegetable - maybe some quinoa noodles too? not sure yet<br /> chicken and vegetable</p> <p>This week I didn't meal plan very well so I have some chicken and stuff in the fridge and some days I may just be winging it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1812550 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:05:48 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1812550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Can I come over for dinner??

I want to meal plan but each week I plan to I find it exhausting :meh: </p> <p>During my grocery store outings I buy a bunch of produce [we buy our meat / fish from Costco] and then based on the weather and how the day went I decide what I'll be making.</p> <p>Example: today its rainy humid and kinda gross so I'll be making a center cut pork tenderloin [marinaded in my own teriyaki type marinade] w/ cauliflower and brown rice. Tomorrow I'll be making salmon w/ polenta and spinach bc thats what I had planned for today. Thursday I'll probably do chicken and some Asian inspired salad cause I am currently obsessed w/ Miso dressing and Mayo Sriracha! Friday, who knows maybe left overs!?!?</p> <p>Do you have a go-to for meal planning recipes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-for-dinner-this-week-1#post-1812060 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:32:48 +0000 Tanjowen 1812060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spaghetti with salad; Chicken tacos with rice &amp; black beans; Hamburgers with grilled corn, sweet potatoes &amp; green beans; BBQ grilled chicken with baked potatoes &amp; steamed broccoli.
