I really need to try and keep our costs down this month so I am trying something new to us. I have the fixings for 7 meals in the house (X4) and we will be having the same things each week. The days may vary as it will depend what I am in the mood for. Most everything had leftovers for DH or me to take to work. So don't be surprised if you see the same things a few times. LOL I do have a few "I don't wanna cook" or "I don't feel like that" things in the house as well. So we don't run out to Subway.

I am dieting and trying to budget so squash will be my veggie of choice this month. LOL We both work FT so I aim for simple.

1. salmon cakes, asparagus 1 meal
2. chili (me) chili mac for DH, acorn squash 2 meal
3. turkey/onions over rice (dh) over acorn squash for me 3 meal
4. pizza 4 meal
5. enchiladas 5 meal
6. eggs and toast (I didn't feel like cooking)
7. japanese shrimp with fried rice (I went to store for stuff- not on our rotation but not eating out either LOL)
8. japanese mum's chicken 6 meal

3. (School night) Chickpea Rice Broccoli casserole (a modified version of this VWAV recipe, added rice and subbed soymilk, nut yeast for veg broth)

I do really well posting the first half of the month then I get super lazy. I'm going to try really hard this month-Everything vegan unless stated I'm also going to keep track of "extra" cooking I do,to overlap into other meals...it'll help me make sure I use up everything

1-FFY-Dh had a gig over dinner, ds wanted potatoes w hemp seeds on them...so it was a lot of snacking happening
2-Vegan Dad's chickpea patties/"cheesy" scalloped potatoes/roasted butternut squash/romaine lettuce salad w roasted apples/sundried tomatoes/butternut squash roasted seeds YUMMY DINNER
EXTRA COOKING- extra chickpeas&squash/broth out of apple cores/squash peel/onions to use to cook rice later this week
3-Pasta with eggplant, onion, garlic, chilis tomato sauce w hemp seeds on top...Ds's request

3: Cassaroni (that's what my 3 year old calls it ... really it's Tuna Casserole that has no tuna because we're vegetarian)

[Keeta]

2. Lentil loaf with gravy, roasted brussels sprouts with onions and apples (YUM!), and roasted winter squash with earth balance and brown sugar.

2 - Lunch o' leftover, Dinner - Pancakes and bacon
3 - Lunch: pasta w/ bacon; Dinner: sausage, cheesy grits, spinach salad

2 - chickenless nuggets, rice, black beans, and steamed broccoli

[GoGoGirl]

I've never posted on this thread before, but I do try to make all our meals at home. I wonder if I'll be able to make it all month!

1. inlaws in town, so we ate out (dang am I already disqualified? )
2. roasted red pepper and bean soup (ack, it was awful, and there's a whole giant pot of it left!)
3. hummus, spinach, and tomato wraps

[Alyantavid]

1-frittata, toast, applesauce
2-dinner at my mom's *stew
3-shepherd's pie *dh ran out of time for dinner and I didn't have anything else out so the boys had chili dogs and I just snacked
4-panini's, roasted potatoes

[honeybunmom]

Jumping in here! I'm a full time WOHM mom and do most of the cooking even though dh is home. Even if he does cook, I've planned it! But, since we have a 4 year old and 7 mos old at home, I've already forgotten what we ate for dinner on Sunday.

We don't eat out much. And since we moved 3 weeks ago, it'll be even less since there aren't very many take out places near our new home. I'm good for ordering in on Fridays when I'm tired from having worked all week. Not being able to as readily will help eliminate that!

1. Baked chicken (I remembered!) marinated in Mojo; arroz con gandules and maduros
2. Beef noodle casserole, french bread, cucumber and tomato salad
3. Left overs from the 2nd
4. Left overs from the 1st with broccoli instead of maduros
5. Planning on orange chicken if I can get to the market today.

[ursusarctos]

1 - Frozen pizza
2 - Spinach soup with hard boiled eggs and no-knead bread
3 - Soup made with oxtail broth leftover from last night and oxtail meat, mung beans, carrots, onions and spinach. And bread.
4 - Rutabaga, potatoes, carrots, and kale stewed in yellow Thai curry coconut sauce, brown rice
5 - Roasted chicken with brussels sprouts, potatoes, parsnip roasted underneath, cream sauce from drippings
6 - Something with leftover chicken
7 - Soup from chicken bone stock
8 -
