Tonight: crock pot salsa chicken on tortillas with Mexican blend cheese. Then will eat as leftovers for several nights.
Later this week: breaded boneless chicken thighs baked in the oven and steamed Brussels sprouts. And then a couple more dinners after that, too.

Tonight, I made braised coconut chickpeas and spinach and put it over baked sweet potatoes. It was so, so delicious.

Tomorrow morning I'll stick some pork tenderloin in the slow cooker with some diced tomatoes, cumin, and other spices, and use that as the base for meals for the next few days.
We get the massive pork tenderloin from Costco (the kind that is a double pack of 2 lb tenderloins each), and keep it in the freezer so we can thaw it out over Sunday and have it cook on Monday.

Ooh, everyone has great sounding menus!
I'll do something with chicken, because I have a ton of it in the freezer. Might have a ham one night, and then everything else depends on what's on sale. DH is out for dinner 3 nights this week...so I foresee a lot of scrambled eggs & toast for me.

Mon: Catfish, oven-baked french fries & cauliflower

Weds: Leftovers (probably meatball sandwiches & veggies)That's as far as I got for the week.

Sunday- bean, corn & spinach enchiladas
Monday- lentil & sweet potato soup from the freezer.Going to have to grocery shop tomorrow....

Leftovers or eat out one night, since we're going out of town next weekend starting on Friday. -
@Ms.Pumpkin: just wanted to say, I made this to bring for lunch this week and it is delicious! I subbed kale for the spinach because I already had some and it worked perfectly

I am currently addicted to the Sweet Kale Salad in a bag kit. Holy Christ...i've legit had it everyday for 2 weeks, and find myself in Costco every Monday buying a bag. I might have a problem.
It's a nice replacement for a heavy side-dish at dinner, or at lunch with a hardboiled egg and some shredded chicken.
