Hellobee Boards

I need to plan so thank you for this thread!

Sun- steak and lobster tonight for Mother's Day
M- sweet, sticky and spicy chicken, rice and carrots
T- Grilled chicken paninis & field green salad
W- meatballs & rice
Th- grilled cheese and tomato soup
F- BBQ hamburgers , Caesar salad and chips
Sat- I'm hosting a baby shower so we will have leftovers from the party

DH won't be home for dinner two nights this week, so I just planned:
Chickpea & vegetable curry with brown rice
Crockpot teriyaki chicken with roasted broccoli
Breaded cod filets (aka fish sticks from trader joes!)

On the nights he is not home I will have leftovers or something easy like grilled cheese and salad.

Today: BBQ at DH's uncles house

Monday: Moroccan lemon chicken kabobs with asparagus and artichokes ( http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/spring-veggie-lemon-moroccan-chicken-skewers-minted-goat-cheese-yogurt/)

Tuesday: I'm thawing some chickpea curry

Wednesday: chicken pitas (I'm grilling up a second flavor of chicken Monday night-honey orange BBQ which is awesome)

Thursday: pork burgers with pineapple slaw
http://www.halfbakedharvest.com/hawaiian-hula-pork-fajitas-pineapple-slaw-coconut-rice/ and http://leitesculinaria.com/81009/recipes-barbecue-pork-burgers.html

Friday: tbd/leftovers

Sat: BBQ at a friends house

Sunday-Wednesday - pineapple chicken over rice
Thursday/Friday-spaghetti or steaks (we always have both on hand)

I try to do one big meal to last us through the first part of the week. It's a lot cheaper since we don't have to buy lots of extra ingredients and we waste less food.

Hmmmmm sounds sooo good!
Monday: Mushroom/gorgonzola burger on Publix's new pretzel buns (I'll try to eat it, me and meat are not friends*8weeks Prego
Tuesday: Picking a spot to have dinner out on the town
Wednesday: Black bean tacos

That is as fat as I've got this week.......

@Seattlemom: I thought that picadillo sounded good, too! The Puerto Rican Beef is so good-and you have to have it with the sliced avocado!

@grizz: Ooooh this is making me want to sign up for the Fresh 20. Those look great!

As for us this week, we're having:

S - Chicken fajitas, guac, and black bean salad
M - Italian wedding soup, salad, and sour dough
T - Meatballs, asparagus, pasta salad
W - Bible study (friend provides dinner)
Th - Tuna cakes, broccoli, salad, fried potatoes
F - Caribbean Coconut Chicken casserole
S - out with friends

Its going to be a chicken heavy week (lots of chicken in the freezer to use up).

Sunday: Eating out.
Monday: Crockpot chicken posole.
Tuesday: Chicken tikka masala.
Wednesday: Fish stick tacos.
Thursday: Steaks, sweet potato, corn on the cob.
Friday: Chicken enchiladas.
Saturday: Leftovers.

@mamimami: Its basically this recipe but with about 3-4 cups of cooked chicken (i.e. leftover rotisserie chicken). I use one big can of Las Palmas brand enchilada sauce and 1 big can of hominy (instead of the 2 smaller cans). I also always add carrots because DH likes them and any veggie odds and ends we have laying around. If I'm super lazy or in a rush, I substitute all the other ingredients (chilies, garlic, onion, cilantro, etc.) with a cup of salsa. I also use chicken broth instead of water, but only because I keep it on hand at all times.

Ooh, I am going to do my meal planning while LO is in school tomorrow morning. So many good ideas on this thread!

This weekend we had: peppered flank steak with a fresh tomato salsa, leek mashed potatoes, and a yellow and green bean toss. Tonight we had a gruyere, scallion, and pea quiche.

@mamimami: the curry is from a cookbook, but let me see if I can find a similar recipe online...

@mamimami: Here is one similar to what I am making:
