What's on your menu this week? I always like seeing everyone's meal plans.
I'm in a group text with several girls (many who are or were Charlotte bloggers you may follow!) and we're constantly chatting. A topic of conversations most Sundays is what is on everyone's menu for the week. It's a great way to get ideas!
So here's what we had or will be having:
SUNDAY
Sunday night we went easy and light since we'd had a big weekend in the mountains of "splurgey" food -- barbecue, burgers, Mexican food. I bought a bagged chopped salad from Harris Teeter (it was on sale for $3) and added in pre-cooked chicken slices from the freezer section and some sliced red onion. Done.
That pre-cooked chicken is also awesome for toddler meals.
The chopped salad has cilantro in it and a cilantro pepita dressing which is delicious. Here's what the bag looks like for any of you local readers who shop at HT!
MONDAY
Slow Cooker Italian Lemon Chicken - recipe HERE (this was so easy and delicious!)
Giada's Lemony White Bean and Arugula Salad - recipe HERE (big fans here)
TUESDAY

Roasted Carrots
Arugula salad with bacon, feta, walnuts, apples
WEDNESDAY

Cheesy cauliflower bake -- recipe HERE
Green beans
THURSDAY

April - delicious leftovers
FRIDAY
Pizzzzzzzzza
SATURDAY
Ian's birthday! TBD!
A cookbook that I've been really enjoying lately is Homemade by Clodagh McKenna. You've probably seen it displayed in my kitchen if you follow me on Snapchat. I made a delicious sauteed spinach recipe from it recently! Plus, it's just pretty on display. :)
So, dish -- what's on your menu this week?
Love these types of posts! I have beef in the crockpot right now for beef and noodles. Stew meat, onion powder, beef broth and pepper cooked on low for 8 hours, then move to the stovetop, add in reames egg noodles and cook until noodles are done. Super easy and delicious!
ReplyDeletePutting that white bean salad and lemony chicken on our menu for next week. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing other people's meal plans! This week I am doing a quiche, Turkey tacos, and using a ham bone for navy beans and rice-one of my faaaavorite fall sups
ReplyDeleteI love arugula salads with white beans! I sometimes mix in artichokes too! I'm making your bbq shrimp this week :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when blog friends share their meal plans . . . it makes it so easy to just try those ideas too! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love these posts! That cheesy cauliflower bake - yummy.

Lemon chicken and that salad is happening tonight at our house! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWe have a few standard meals that our kids love and are in heavy rotation, one of those is these super simple pulled pork tacos (http://heylittlemomma.blogspot.com/2016/10/taco-monday.html).
ReplyDeleteWhat brand of frozen chicken slices do you buy? I never go into the store anymore since I do pick up and I want to buy the right one online. Thanks! Our menu this week is pumpkin chili, salmon with green bean casserole (I usually serve this with your mashed cauliflower once a week but I had these ingredients on hand), and chicken pot pie. With the cold weather I'm loving anything warm and that makes leftovers :) Thanks for sharing your weekly meals, I always love your recipes!
ReplyDeleteI just posted a similar theme on the blog today - we recently did meatloaf cups with mashed potato icing (great for portion control), a fab white bean chicken chili soup in the slow cooker and then stuffed peppers carved to look like little pumpkins that miss A loved! I'm definitely trying your ribs by the way! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these kinds of posts! Thanks for the meal ideas... I'm going to try the crockpot lemon chicken soon :)
ReplyDeleteI posted one yesterday too! Complete with recipes!
