[425lisamarie]

So far my meals aren't planned per day, I make from scratch even sauces, so really it depends if the night before I had a chance to do all prep work and beforehand stock making/sauce making etc.

Mon - was roast with onions/mushroom/sour cream sauce over rice, broccoli and I mulled some hot cider so we drank that (me with a shot of bourbon )

Tues - tonight is teryiaki chicken, probably over rice, probably a salad and I made a citric dressing last night for it

Wed - pizza with homemade spelt crust, marinara sauce that I will make tonight for the breadsticks
Some kind of veggie, though I make the pizza sauce with sweet potato, tomato, onions, squash, carrot so it's already very healthy

Thursday - Gyros. I will make up a lamb/beef seasoned meatloaf type wed night and bake it thursday so we can slice it. I always have tzatziki made up , some fresh from sunday and I have some little tomatoes to use up.
- I will make up some spelt flat bread sometime before then.

Friday - not sure yet, probably general tso chicken for DH and maybe simple pasta dish for the kids and I

Lunches will be probably leftovers and grilled sandwiches, I always make some kind of soup for the week. My kids like to drink them with fat straws in little to go type of cups.

Snacks, I made some pumpkin raisin bread already, shakes, whatever we grab.

Thursday and friday may be switched based on whether or not I pre-make the flat bread in time!

[425lisamarie]

I am going to TexasPeach's house for dinner this week

[Tinas3muskateers]

Grilled shrimp w/ garlic chili oil, broccoli and peanut noodles (shrimp, red pepper flakes, garlic, oil, broccoli, spaghetti noodles, peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar



Texas, do you fry this all together, bake? how is this made, it sounds divne!

[wife&mommy]

Would you guys mind posting these recipes? These sound great!

tinas3muskateers - Bourbon Street Chicken

texas peach - Spaghetti Carbonara, Cream Cheese Chicken, Mustard Glazed Pork Chops w/ Stuffing


I have been sick so my meal plan for this week was all messed up. I'm working on next weeks now.

[texaspeach]

cream cheese chicken

grilled shrimp I don't bother with skewers and just put them on the grill, searing in a very hot pan works too

the carbonara is just a regular carbonara recipe with no recipe. it's cheese heavy, so not easy on the waist line. mix together a few eggs, maybe some milk or half and half, a bunch of parm. and set aside. cook bacon or pancetta until crisp, drain and crumble. cook spaghetti and drain, return to the hot pot immediately and pour the egg/cheese mixture over it and stir it quickly. the heat from the pan cooks the egg and makes a sauce. top with bacon/pancetta

mustard pork chops.. just brush chops with whole grain mustard I use this stuff - a little goes a long way. you can mix in a little honey and/or thyme if you want. grill or pan fry, if you stuff them baking works. if you have thick chops you can split them and stuff them, but I usually just serve it along side. for the kale I boil a little chicken/veg stock, like 1/2 a cup or so, and add garlic, then kale and cook for a few minutes.

Thank you for posting those Texas Peach.
