Hellobee Boards

For the past week we've had -

Su: ribs and mashed potatoes
M: lions head meatballs with bok choy
T: leftovers
W: creamy chicken and corn rice, steamed veg
Th: lasagna and garlic bread
F: we order in sushi on Fridays
S: leftovers

I haven't planned next week's menu, but typically it has looked something like this:

Sunday: Seaweed Soup + rice
Monday: Turnip Soup + rice
Tuesday: Beef Porridge
Wednesday: Rice Cake Soup
Thursday: Eggs + Rice
Friday: Roast Chicken + mac & cheese
Saturday: Chinese or Thai take out

Soup is the only thing I can get Charlie to eat in large quantities. I just switch up what veggies I put in, and I can pull together a meal really fast since we always have rice in the rice cooker. He gets a lot more variety in his bento lunches....

@mrs. wagon: i would order take out waaaaaay more if charlie ate it better! i have to make soups to get him to eat!

@Mrs. Bee: it's too bad he doesn't like tomato sauce... when RJ eats from takeout as well, he eats either pizza or cheese ravioli with chicken or meatballs.

@mrs. wagon: he is the only kid who hates pizza so i always have to pack food when we go to a birthday party because they always serve pizza. i wish he loved tomato sauce because i love spaghetti!

@blushink: Thanks for the fries idea- we're having chicken burgers too and there's an oven fries recipe I've been wanting to try on pinterest.

@artbee: No problem! Reason why I love this thread. I wish we could have a sticky.... or maybe a document with different meal ideas

DH was out of town for half of this week, so my dinners were mostly underwhelming. Here goes:
Saturday -- takeout veggie pizza & salad
Sunday -- didn't really have a proper dinner, just a ton of snacks at my friend's Oscar party
Monday -- Mac & cheese + sliced tomatoes
Tuesday -- Chinese takeout
Wednesday -- Fettuccine w/ cream sauce, shrimp, and peas (I finallly cooked!)
Thursday -- Trader Joe's chicken pot pies
Friday -- We're going out w/ my sister & her boyfriend tonight to a New Orleans style restaurant

M - Steak burritos with Chipotle's recipe rice
T - Grilled salmon with sweet potato fries and salad
W - Grilled chicken with roasted potatoes
Th - Leftovers/free for all
F - I think I'll make fried rice and egg rolls tonight - I saw someone else post that and it sounds delicious!
Sa - Shrimp - perhaps scampi, maybe tacos
Su - Chinese or Japanese take-out

I haven't planned next week yet. I might try OAMM's menus based on Bluestriped Bee's suggestion! Anyway, this is what last week looked like:

M: French Fried Onion Crusted Tilapia & Brown Rice
T: Baked Pesto Chicken & Garlic Bread
W: Cajun Chicken Pasta
Th: Went out

...Yes, I realize we don't eat any veggies.

Tonight I will probably pick up sushi because DH is out of town!

Oh and we usually have a veggie and/or salad with every dinner

Typical week for us looks like:

Note: “green salad” is a mix of multiple dark winter greens with tomato, goat cheese, cucumber or other veggies and olive oil/balsamic dressing.

Sockeye salmon filet with farro and green salad

Roast meat (fish, pork or steak) with veggie (usually roasted: squash, asparagus, green beans, etc.) and green salad

Spicy pasta (either olive oil and red pepper flakes or a red sauce with sausage and pancetta) and green salad

Omelet with pesto, goat cheese and shrimp and green salad

Homemade pizza and Caesar salad

Cheesy polenta with mixed bean/onion/veggie salad (or another, similar vegetarian dish).

Tacos: carne asada, chicken and spinach with tomatillo salsa, fish tacos with cabbage. All tacos have avocado (no cheese, sour cream, etc. and no fried tortillas). Side is refried beans and usually corn.

Ooh I like this thread. Let's see. We haven't been eating well at all.

Sat risotto and I can't remember what else...
