I just want to say that I am so impressed by people who are able to plan out the whole week and cook! I like cooking but it is so hard for me to sit down and plan meals AND cook every week. My mom did it religiously and I didn't appreciate it till now.
It doesn't help that DH could care less if I cook, we order in, we go out or he eats deli meat on bread! If he cared/appreciated I'd probably do it more.
So anyways, kudos to all of you!

This thread just made me extremely hungry.

@cmomma17: Honestly, I end up making recipes because I challenge myself to make meals with the stuff we have in the fridge before I have to go to the store.
LO has not been eating her veggies lately so I figured pesto, but I don't give her nuts yet, so I saw online that people with nut allergies use hummus or beans! No recipe, I just dumped olive oil, regular hummus, part-skim mozzarella (only cheese I had in the fridge), and spinach into a blender.
I want those gourmet grilled cheese sammies, too! Yum!
-
@mrsjazz: that sounds soooooo good
I will have to get brave and experiment like you sometime. I love hummus so much
-

@cmomma17: I've never made them before, but this is the recipe I'm trying for the sweet potato/bean burritos:
http://www.talistomatoes.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/spicy-bean-and-sweet-potato-burritos.html
For hippie dinner, I use my rice cooker, but you could make it on the stove too. I start cooking 1.5 cup quinoa in 3 cups water (or veg/chicken broth). Bring to boil, cover and cook on low if doing on stove. I add a heaping tablespoon of coconut oil. After it has been cooking about 10 minutes I layer on top (in this order): 1 chopped onion, 3-5 peeled and sliced carrots, 2 cans drained and rinsed chickpeas, and 1 bunch kale, chopped. The I recover it and cook another 10 ish minutes (until quinoa is cooked). I just wait until the rice cooker finishes.
When it's done I mix it all together, adding 2-3 T. tamari or ume plum vinegar. We like to top each bowl with sriracha and a fried egg. Sometimes some toasted sunflower seeds too.

I just went through our finances and found an additional $1000 a month of disposable income we are blowing on mostly eating out and some entertainment. $100 dinners must stop if we want to get even more aggressive with our down payment savings. You guys have given me some great new and creative meals to try! So, I kind of did some meal planning this week, although I only plan the night before!
Monday: Grilled cheeses. Just got back from a 12hr drive from Atl.
Tuesday: spaghetti and meat sauce
Wednesday: my mom just told me how to do chicken au coq vin in the crockpot over the phone. It took 15min and all I have to do is take it out the fridge tomorrow and turn the crockpot on low,
Thursday: who knows? Maybe salmon I have in the freezer, and I'll drizzle some honey and mustard on it. Served with green beans and baked potatoes because we need to use them up!
Fri-Sun: Travelling for a wedding
-
Monday: Shrimp/veggie stir fry with garlic bread
Tuesday: Turkey burgers and green beans
Wednesday: Out with FIL
Thursday: Buffalo chicken tacos
Friday: Out/sandwiches- leaving for camping -
@JessKas: Thanks!
That sounds yummy -
My attempt to meal plan just one meal has been foiled. Supposed to have spaghetti, DH has decided instead to spend $$$ on eating out instead.
Feel frustrated!
-
@cmomma17: ?? Why not just say no?
-
@regberadaisy: because his kids (who live across the country in another state with their mom) are here with us for July and he's on vacation and he sees eating out as quality time. We got in a fight yesterday when I said I was tired and wanted to stay home instead of going out to eat (again) because he interpreted that as me "not being excited enough" to spend time with his kids.
He spent $100 in 2 days on food so far. Not including what will be spent for dinner tonight.
