Were those a 'freezer finding?'

Yep. And they are on this week's menu.

[Chocolate Lover]

I sort of jotted down ideas for the week, I guess that counts right?

Stir fry

some kind of chicken (I generally cut it up and sautee it in some olive oil and whatever spices strike my fancy)

Fish (that was last night, with cheese grits and baked beans, and it was yummy)

meatloaf

london broil in crock pot. 

I had a request for chicken Alfredo, I have to double check the amount of chicken in the freezer.


I hope there's at least one night's worth of leftovers, but you never know. Some nights I have to hope there's enough for me to get a lunch out of it.

Week of 8/17-23

Breakfast: eggs x 2, veggies spread, yogurt & fruit x 2, cottage cheese, cereal

Lunch: ground meat, leftover pork, egg x 2, veggie, chicken, junk food

Dinner: veggie, cottage cheese x 2, fish x 2, chicken

I KNOW I am short 1 dinner. I have 2 friends I need to catch up w/this week and probably will do a meal out w/at least one of them.

[3catslady]

meal plan for 8/17/14 through 8/23/14:

chicken, frozen veggies, fruit or pudding for 5 days.
pizza for 2 days.
sloppy joes and fries for lunch with applesauce for 4 days.
cottage cheese and fruit for 3 days.
tea and peanut butter sandwich for breakfast 5 days.
tea and protein bars for 2 days.

[❤ mollymouser ❤]

I sat down and figured out my dinner proteins for the upcoming week:

17 Sun ... toast "pizza" with cheddar and turkey pepperoni and sundried tomato

18 Mon ... Trader Joes chicken patty

19 Tue ... Trader Joes chicken patty

20 Wed ... Smoked salmon and lowfat cottage cheese

21 Thu ...  Smoked salmon and lowfat cottage cheese

22 Fri ...   Trader Joes sirloin

23 Sat ...  Trader Joes sirloin

24 Sun ...  shrimp

This gives me seafood 3 nights, and limits beef to two nights, so that's right where I want to be.

Into the week after (August 25) there will be grilled tilapia, Trader Joes sundried tomato chicken sausages, and probably Hebrew National all-beed Kosher franks. Maybe another attempt at toast pizza since I will still have turkey pepperoni!

Did you know it is possible to make a pizza crust from cauliflower. Saw it on Rachel Ray as a gluten free option. Pulverize cauliflower in a processor. Add a beaten egg or 2. Spread on parchment paper or foil. Top w/sauce, cheese & whatever. Bake.

You can also make it with cooked, minced chicken.  It's yummy!

Iggy
I have done ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken) crust pizza BUT I know Molly is trying to be about 80% veggies in her meals. Eating the minimum protein for a healthy diet.

Jeep
Thanks for the idea of a tuna pasta salad. Think I will program that in for next week. Have not done that in a LOOONG time.

Week of 8/24

I did not realize today (8/24) is national waffle day (per Kellogg’s) when I planned waffles for breakfast today. I planned them because a local store had them on sale this week for 0.88/box.

This is a CRAZY week. I will defiantly be eating out at least twice – friend‘s open house and the day I get my mani/pedi. May be going out a 3rd time IF I hear back from my traveling friend.


Breakfast: waffles, cereal, yogurt x 2, cottage cheese x 2, Bread w/?

Lunch: veggie x 2, egg x3, ground meat, meat

Dinner: chicken x 2, tuna x 2, cottage cheese, out x 2

I've been slacking a bit on the meal plan thing.  

While I have a well stocked pantry and plenty in the freezer, I have found myself making things up at the last minute lately.  Not really planning ahead.

So I've been taking advantage of you all and surreptitiously making a list of what you all are eating here and on the "what's for dinner"  thread.  

Right now, we're skating along on a salad and a grilled meat for the rest of August.

Come September 1st, I have 20 different meals on the list.


Edited to add the missing apostrophe in we're.  

[sarcasticgirl]

Lurking this thread for ideas....

This week, yogurt and homemade granola for breakfast
Lunch= salads
Dinner: grilled buffalo chicken sandwich on homemade buns and green beans
Burgers ( turkey for me) with fingerling potatoes and green bean foil packs on the grill
Taco salads w/ grilled corn
Grilled chicken with corn on the cob and Brussels sprouts
Pasta

Yes, sometimes as my protein source.  I happen to LIKE cottage cheese & will eat it at any meal.  Those days I tend to eat a heartier lunch.
