My daughter is cooking this week. She has some kind of vegan kale, quinoa, thing planned for tonight. Ground turkey is on sale so for tomorrow we will probably have left over spaghetti(whole wheat) and sauce (homemade) with turkey meatballs. Pork loin is also on sale so that will be for Wednesday with rice and either spinach or broccoli. The sales circular is my inspiration.0

Lots of quinoa-based stuff this week. Mini frittatas with quinoa, Mediteranean quinoa salad, roasted veggie quinoa at dinners... I kind of went nuts with the stuff this week. Also, tons and tons of chicken because I got a giant pack for $0.79/lb. Aside from that I have some canned soups for hectic nights, plenty of salad fixings, tuna with various additions, some ham to fry alongside an egg in the mornings, and a pork roast. Since it's just me and my son, and my son eats two meals at school, we don't get a lot of weekly variety. The pork roast alone is less than two pounds and will make us two dinners plus some lunch leftovers, not to mention all that chicken!
-- Chicken and (frozen) veggie stir-fry
-- Canned soup with frozen veggies added
-- Chicken, quinoa, and green beans
-- Pork roast, quinoa, and broccoli
Those will be our dinners, more or less. Lunches will probably be basic chicken salads, Mediterranean quinoa salad with a side of tuna, a can of soup and a tangelo, or leftover roast on a bed of spinach. Breakfasts will be the mini frittatas or nothing, because I have to be out the door pretty early for work and prefer to save calories for later in the day anyway -- I'll wait to cook ham and eggs and whatever until the weekend.

As I live alone, I tend to only make a few things a week and eat it for a number of meals. Today I left over roast chicken & roasted carrots and sweet potatoes. Tomorrow I'm probably making curried lentils with roasted cauliflower.0

I think my menu for the week in uninspired, but maybe someone else may find something here they may like:
M: Pork chops, Brussels sprouts, baked potato
T: 3 bean & turkey chili w/ Greek yogurt, cheddar, and onion garnish, served w/ corn tortillas (will also be my lunches rest of the week)
W: Hand breaded, baked chicken strips, sauteed zucchini/squash/bell pepper mix, baked potato or baked fries
R: Lightly breaded catfish fillets w/ veggies (leftovers or roasted broccoli) and potatoes (I like potatoes, lol)
F: Leftovers/smorgasbord/"free for all" night
Saturday: Papa Murphy's pizza night! (Probably Herb Chicken Delite, YUMMY!)
Sunday: "Brenner" (Breakfast for dinner, ha!)--eggs, bell pepper/onion/potato hash, bacon & toast0 -
Ha, I look so boring next to you guys! It's summer in NZ, so I'm on the salad kick - big tasty salads with avocado and tempeh for dinner. No, I really don't get bored with that! Also have stuffed eggplant already made from last night's dinner.
I switch it up with the seasonings on my tempeh, that counts as variety, right??0 -
Tonight is chicken cacciatore with zucchini "noodles" (using the veggetti), tomorrow is tandoori with broccoli...and I hav eto go back to the freezer to see what is next. We have some left over chicken tenders with panko that might be for wed....need to eat something besides chicken after that haha0

I made some baked chicken parm with linguine and marinara for lunch.
The boyfriend wants flounder for dinner. i'm going to fry it for him and baked it for myself and serve it with some roasted veggies.
tomorrow, breakfast will be a veggie and mozzarella omelette; lunch will be a frozen Amy's meal of mexican casserole and greek yogurt as a treat; dinner will be black bean quesadillas with pico de gallo.
i don't know about the rest of the week just yet though. it's in the 50's right now in my part of Florida, and i'm loving it!0 -

-Black bean borritos with sweet homemade salsa
-Talapia. I've never cooked fish. Should be fun!
-Talapia and black bean borritos? Hehe...
-Chicken, broccoli and rice. Without the added cheeses.
-Marinated tofu with diced tomatos over red beans and rice.0 -

It's a pain for me because my kids don't like anything. I seriously want to go on a meal planning strike and just make my own food LOL.
I forgot I got pork chops too. Will have to figure out something to do with them. The chicken tonight was still half frozen so we ended up eating turkey burgers instead.0 -

I make my menus on Tuesday bc the hubbs gets paid on Wednesday and we go grocery shopping that day so tomorrow is kind of bare- leftovers for breakfast and lunch. Dinner we are trying a skinny greek yogurt pizza.
But this last week we had skinny greek yogurt alfredo penne with loads of veggies in it, Feta and spinach stuffed chicken breast with honey roasted sweet potatoes, Greek gyros, Greek gyro salads, Baked chicken with roasted potatoes and carrots, Baked "enchilada" Chicken (chicken marinaded and baked in a red sauce) with cilantro lime rice and black bean salsa, and chicken salad sandwiches a couple times because the husband always wants me to make chicken salad sandwiches lol.0 -
WOW! Great ideas here!
We had grilled chicken topped with spinach, mushrooms, onions and green peppers tonight...tomorrow making chicken jalapeno burgers.
Thanks for the inspiration everyone!0
