I don't know what order these will occur in but we have:

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Thai Red Curry Chicken (it's in the slow cooker now)

and whatever else I pull out of my *ss this week.  I have given up planning for each day because inevitably it changes. This is what is fresh in the fridge and will need to be eaten this week. I have other stuff in the freezer ready to go if need be too (some stuffed chicken breasts, some korean chicken breasts).

Also, I will fully admit that I am no longer eating clean for the most part. The sauce for the Thai Red Curry is from a jar and the stuffed chicken breasts and korean chicken breasts are boxed (they are part of the healthy 'blue' line from one of our Canadian grocery chains so they are healthy options but still processed).  I am just not home enough to make everything from scratch right now. I am okay with it though.

We're doing a South Beach Diet-esque eating plan this week.  So not as set in stone as usual.

Breakfast:  http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2006/10/egg-muffins-revisited-again.html
They can be frozen and reheated as needed.  I'm using ham, onions, and bell peppers in them.  They also stay good in the fridge for up to a week.

Meal 1: White wine and herb marinated chicken breasts. Steamed broccoli. Salad.

Meal 2: Seared pork chops, green beans, mashed cauliflower with gravy

Meal 3: Buffalo sirloins, sauteed mushrooms in white wine and herbs, steamed broccoli, green beans

Meal 4: Almond crusted chicken strips, salad, asparagus

Meal 5: Hamburger steak with mushroom gravy, broccoli, green beans

Meal 6: Brinner - Scrambled eggs with peppers, Canadian bacon

Meal 7: Grilled chicken breasts, roasted broccoli-peppers-cauliflower

I don't really have a recipe for the tequilla lime chicken.

I just grill the chicken- usually put some sort of seasoning on it--we have the tequilla lime Mrs. Dash so I use a little bit of that.

Then mix a few tbsps of ranch dressing, some lime juice and some salsa in a bowl.  Put it on top of the cooked chicken and then top with some shredded cheese.  Let it melt. 
It's super yummy and much healthier than Applebee's verision.

J&K10910

Sounds delicious as usual, Miss Anna!

Number, I love using quinoa in stuffed peppers.

Kate, are you making the WW crispy HM chicken?  So good. 

barrelbabe004

Anna- I would much rather be eating at your house this week.... Everything sounds amazing!

KateJ10

oooo I hadn't actually picked out a recipe for the chicken yet- but that one looks awesome! I will try it out

J&K10910

So far I have:

WW crispy HM chicken with homemade HM, salad, and baked potatoes
GF Chicken Parm with quinoa of some sort (anyone have a good quinoa recipe that would go with chicken parm?  I'm thinking something garlicky?) and steamed veggies


Southwestern quinoa salad for my lunches

I need a few more, but I need some quick and easy or crock pot things.  I've got a few late nights this week.

Thanks! 

I'm trying extra hard this week.  It's week 1 of my H joining me in "dieting".  I don't want his to get all bored of the food and discouraged.  He'd prefer steak and mashed potatoes with corn every night but we're watching our sugars and eliminating the starches that we tend to overeat.  Just for a few weeks though as a detox.

chirpchirp

J, I like to do a loaded baked potato soup in the crockpot.  This recipe is gluten free too.

NOTHING! I'm going to starve, my husband is gone all week!

COME FEED ME!

J&K10910

Mmmm, that looks delicious, Chirp!  Thank you.  H will need something else to eat with it, but he can always have a leftover chicken breast or make himself a sandwich with it.  I think I'll try that.  I love potato soup.

By the way, I don't think I've told you, but I'm happy to see you back around here.

J&K10910

Oh KD, you poor thing.  Come stay with us for the week! 

OH AND?!  If I make that soup, I'll get to use the immersion blender attachment on our Kitchenaid hand mixer for the first time.  I just got irrationally excited about that.

ErinG93

We're eating: (Or have eaten since I meal plan & shop on Thursday we're half-way through our eating week)

Asian glazed drumsticks from Skinnytaste, broccoli and mushrooms

Broiled salmon, garlic-y rice, salad

Easiest pasta and broccoli from Skinnytaste

Salsa verde chicken enchiladas, from Inspired Taste, Spanish rice

Chicken and broccoli sauce from What Megan's Making, and maybe salad

Isn't it fascinating how a KitchenAid attachment excites us?

Make sure you actually use Corn Flakes though.  Breadcrumbs get soggy and gross.

Ha!  Blend away, then! And thanks, J.  I'm glad to be back around too.

It totally is.  I'm so glad we went with the hand mixer and not the big one.  Everyone was all GET THE BIG ONE! And I knew I wouldn't use it.  But my god, their hand mixer is just as fantastic and I use it so much more.  I'm so glad I didn't cave to the pressure.

I love reading these posts!  

We're still on the freezer/easy meal plans until I get more settled in my mommy routine. 

Sunday - Chicken Noodle Soup

Monday - BLTs

Tuesday - Breakfast for dinner

Wednesday - Spag and Meatballs and salad

Thursday - Trader Joe's Pot Pie

Friday - In Laws visiting...

We're kind of playing it by ear this week so we can use up some food in the house, but so far:

*frozen pizza tonight (with a huge salad)

*taco salad

*oven-cooked turkey kielbasa with potatoes and peppers and onions (nom.)

*chicken ceasar salad

and now I'm going to make that Skinnytaste Asian glazed chicken thing. We've had it before and it's delicious.

J&K10910

Oh Steph, is the sausage, potatoes, and peppers thing the Skinny Taste one?  Thanks for reminding me of that.  H really liked that.  I should make it again, it was so easy.

saxy414

I've been slacking a bit on planning, but the general idea is:

Tonight: chicken breasts coated with mashed up Ritz crackers and cheddar cheese, roasted green beans
Tomorrow: ...no idea. I won't be home until 9. Popcorn?
Tuesday: baked salmon with honey, rice, zucchini and carrots
Wednesday: chicken, somehow cooked with white wine, zucchini and carrots probably
Thursday: Either frozen ravioli or spaghetti and meatballs if I'm feeling motivated enough to make meat balls.
Friday: bacon wrapped filets, tbd veggies--maybe green beans
Saturday: probably out.

<div>Yup! We probably make it once every other week. It's so easy and delicious. I add a little shredded parm on top when it's all done too.</div>
