So we're making:</p> <p>Spaghetti with a thin tomato, onion sauce<br /> Steak with a mushroom gravy w/ roasted veggies<br /> Mexican day w/ ground beef, guacamole, in a tortilla &amp; lettuce wrap<br /> Something to go with all the leftover yogurt I made butter chicken with a few days ago<br /> For tonight, take-out ... pizza =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117669 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 02:02:54 +0000 cupcakemama 117669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: good to know!

I love them cut up and brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and rosemary. If you cook them on super high heat in the oven, they get crunchy on the outside and stay soft on the inside! YUMMY!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117667 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:50:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 117667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: wow, I think I need to expand my menu! I have never made any of the things you listed!</p> <p>Tonight we had turkey tacos with lots of veggies--delish!!<br /> Tomorrow I am making some sort of soup--I am thinking clam chowder with salad on the side?<br /> Thursday we are having ravioli with homemade marinara, veggies, and garden salad<br /> and Friday is pizza night--probably veggie pizza on homemade whole grain crust.<br /> We have a gift card to the Cheesecake Factory, so we will probably use that some time during the weekend.<br /> Wow, my mouth is watering just thinking about all this food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117657 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 01:28:15 +0000 looch 117657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cupcakemama: yes it is. I didn't have leeks, so I used red onions and red peppers instead (to clean out the fridge) and it turned out great. My son even liked it (16 months and doesn't like a lot of spices). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117592 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 21:41:55 +0000 StbHisMrs 117592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBee and @Minnie_Girl<br /> I love quinoa, we've (my son and I) been eating it for years, my husband doesn 't like it though :(<br /> I've always wondered how to pronounce it. I thought it was quin-oh-ah but my Mom corrected me and said it's keen-wah.</p> <p>Monday - Scalloped potatoes and ham<br /> Tuesday - Turkey lasagna<br /> Wednesday - leftovers<br /> Thursday - probably pizza, DS has baseball practice<br /> Friday - potroast in the dutchoven with fingerling potatoes<br /> Saturday - DS's birthday party, if it's not raining we'll bbq beer can chicken, with grilled onions and beans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117541 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:32:22 +0000 cupcakemama 117541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: how do you prepare it? Does it take longer than rice? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117523 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:21:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 117523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Minnie_Girl: yup we've been eating it a lot lately. it's like a crunchier rice! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117518 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:18:44 +0000 Minnie_Girl 117518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, we do have plans for a little culinary excitement this week! We're eating...</p> <p>Watercress, arugula, and spinach salad w/ mushrooms, peppers, etc.<br /> Quinoa with chickpeas, sweet potatoes<br /> Chicken liver (have never eaten these, no idea how we're cooking them yet!)<br /> Steamed salmon with kale<br /> More salad</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: Have you had quinoa before? It's a new favorite of mine! It's mild, but fun to eat &amp; a great replacement for rice/carbs. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117498 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 20:10:44 +0000 cupcakemama 117498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Is the Mustard Chicken from the 30 minute meals?

All of these recipe ideas sound fantastic though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117107 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:38:42 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 117107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH works Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday nights, so my meal plan is pretty non-existant. But last night was homemade mac&amp;cheese, tonight is German potato salad and a bacon &amp; tomato sandwich, and Friday will be something pinned....most likely the maple-pecan salmon I found. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117098 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:35:15 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 117098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no idea!

Potatoes I've done and they came out pretty mushy but really good. (with a pot roast.) </p> <p>I've seen recipes to make baked potatoes in a crock pot... oh my... gonna have to try that. Ooh, I am so craving a loaded baked potato right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117073 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:24:03 +0000 mediagirl 117073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: dude, I have no idea. I bought this apple and sage seasoning packet from the supermarket - <a href="http://www.mccormick.com/Products/Herbs-and-Spices/Recipe%20Inspirations/Apple-and-Sage-Pork-Chops.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.mccormick.com/Products/Herbs-and-Spices/Recipe%20Inspirations/Apple-and-Sage-Pork-Chops.aspx</a>. I'm going to add it to a crock pot and then add in a hunk of pork and some water and apple juice. Then when I get home, I'll bake a couple of apples and slice them on top of the pork. I'll bake some potatoes along with the apples. Hmmm...now I'm wondering if I should just toss the apples into the crockpot, too. That might work out well.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117059 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:19:26 +0000 prettylizy 117059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@miss-spunkin: I got the recipe from our meal planning website relishrelish.com .

Do you make the avocado burgers yourself?</p> <p>since having LO I haven't been able to menu plan or even make dinner because of him, so it's been incredibly easy stuff. My husband's work schedule changes every quarter as well and this quarter he is working M, T, W 10am-10pm so we don't have dinner together anyway :(</p> <p>Has anyone ever done a meal plan service before? There is a lady in my area who does nutrition workshops and healthy living teaching for a living and she does a 40-day meal plan service of whole, healthy food recipes for only $20. I'm thinking of doing it since I've exhausted myself with our regulars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-on-your-menu-plan-this-week#post-117041 Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:12:29 +0000 mediagirl 117041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to shop day by day so I make sure I'm ready to go with dinners every night.<br /> Monday: brats with peppers and onions on hoagie rolls, salad.<br /> Tuesday: leftover brats and pasta salad<br /> Wednesday: crockpot pork with baked apples and potatoes<br /> Thursday: Tacos<br /> Friday: Papa Johns<br /> Saturday: burgers and chips, fruit.<br /> Sunday: either chicken or steak on the grill</p> <p>@artbee: crunchy garlic chicken...do I follow you on Pinterest?
