K, over the weekend my butt was planted on the couch due to toe surgery.  With that extra down time, I've gone hard core in regards to finding recipes to use up pantry odds and ends.

This week:
Breakfasts:  The usual boiled eggs w/ mayo
Lunches:  Spinach w/ either canned tuna or chicken, and whatever trimmings we have on hand, including tomatoes from the garden.

Dinners:
Tonight:  The last of the leftover low carb eggplant lasagna from Thurs
Tomorrow night:  Cabbage (need to use the cabbage!) and beef sausage "Crack Slaw".  This will make at least 3 servings.
Wed:  Leftover low carb pizza from the freezer
Thurs:  Shrimp fried in a corn meal (there's a few TBS left, not enough to make cornbread) and pork rind crust (about 1/2 cup has been in the pantry for awhile, going to grind them up in the food processor), then sauteed in Alfredo sauce (there's about 1/2 cup left in the fridge).
Friday:  Take out from?
This weekend:  At least one serving leftover crack slaw.

Condiments I need to use up:  Bottled 1,000 Island dressing which someone brought to one of our parties earlier this year.  I'll mix it with ground turkey and some of the pork rinds and make meatballs.  I also need to use up the bottled Italian dressing DH bought and used 2 TBS of for a smoked meat marinade.

Sooooo apparently I skipped Wednesday.  Yes, I am blond. 

Wednesday I'll have leftover low carb taco bake from the freezer, and DH will have a frozen dinner entree, obtained via a Free Friday City Market download.

I almost begged off posting until Mon BUT as I waited for some coupons to print I did my plan. It helps a LOT to have a basic plan in place like I do. Also, it is starting to get pretty chilly around here so I will probably start making some soup/chili/stew every few weeks and chuck is on sale this week (beef, barley, veg, mushroom soup?). As per usual, it is written in pencil in case I hit a GREAT deal at some store or get a Jones on for something.

Breakfast: cereal, cottage cheese x 3, yogurt x2, pancakes
Lunch: salad plate, tuna salad, chicken, veggie, egg x 2, soup
Dinner: chicken x 2, veggie, Tuna, ground meat, red meat, junk

[3catslady]

Week of 10/12 to 10/18 meal plan:

Breakfast: cottage cheese with fruit, peanut butter sandwich, rice krispie bars, and tea.
Morning snack: fruit, yogurt.
Lunch: ham and swiss sandwich, peanut butter sandwich, soup.
Afternoon snack:yogurt, fruit.
Supper: sloppy joe sandwich, french fries, baked beans, pizza, chicken/veggies/ rice-mashed potatoes.
Snack at work: Fiber One bar.

So I planned on making a beef based soup this week. NOT going to happen. The chuck on sale at my independent grocer was so full of bone, fat and gristle it was NOT worth buying even at 1/3 off any recent sale price. I don’t think either of my DDs’s goldens could even chew the stuff. Also, it is going to warm up a bit over this week so not soup weather to me. When I do make it I will sub chicken for the beef. Interesting experiment as I grew up with & always made it w/beef.

[Iggy aka IG]

This week:

The usual boiled eggs for breakfasts and salads for lunch.

Tonight:  Something with ground beef
Tomorrow night:  Leftovers.  Maybe?
Wed and Thurs:  Not sure b/c DH might be called out of town again, and I need to do my monthly grocery shopping.
Friday:  Take out from?

[❤ mollymouser ❤]

MON ... smoked salmon and cottage cheese
TUE ...  smoked salmon and cottage cheese
WED ... chicken patty (Whole Foods)
THU ...  chicken patty (Whole Foods)
FRI ...   tilapia
SAT ...  sirloin (Trader Joes)
SUN ...  sirloin (Trader Joes)

Dinner includes 2 starches (multigrain toast, 1/2 an apple, it varies), cooked veggies (lately: asparagus and greens of some sort), salad: romaine, hearts of palm, red pepper, mushrooms.

Breakfasts:  Original Fiber One, unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze, a small banana blended into an Extend Protein Shake with ice.

Lunch: turkey, eggplant hummus, pickle, romaine on a tomato wrap, cooked greens (spinach, mustard, collard and turnip greens) and a salad with cucumber, carrots, radishes, tomatoes, kidney beans and garbanzo beans. (Slightly altered on the days I go to Petco)

[marvholly]

More possible/probable changes:

In spite of my having said it is too warm for soup I may do soup & something 2x this week:

I have some soup made from powdered bullion & broccoli & cauliflower stems
There is an Olive Garden coupon for their lunch soup & salad & breadsticks deal for only $5-good this week only. On the other hand a can of Progresso is $1, a BIG salad about 0.50 and a can of Aldi biscuits 0.49 = $2 (bisquick even cheaper).

I do have a menu pretty much planned for this week BUT it is WAAAY more likely than usual to go up in smoke (eraser dust) as I frequently go trick or treating w/the grands near DD1’s house and I am thinking about a beauty day (haircut and mani/pedi) on Wed AND I do NOT cook after a mani. Also, the beginning of the week is forecast to be WAAAY warm and the end a bit cooler than usual (wish it was the other way around).

Breakfast: bagel w/cream cheese, cottage cheese x 3, yogurt strawberries x 2
Lunch: chicken x 2, tuna salad, egg x 2, ground meat, junk
Dinner: leftover steak, veggie x 2, tuna, chicken, soup, ?
