Eat at Home 3!

[Shanna-like-Banana]

yesterday night the weather was actually decent, so I knew I wanted to grill dinner.

We had a new Lidl grocery store open here. I used to shop them a lot when we lived overseas.

Grilled teriyaki chicken breasts
grilled fresh pineapple
flavored rice
fresh green beans - steamed
baguette

DD had to be to work early, so I grilled her chicken and pineapple when she got home from school. She had that before she went to work
The rest of us got to eat dinner together before the boys had training. Neither of the boys like Teriyaki, so I did their "usual" light drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, sprinkle of garlic powder.

Everyone ate all their dinner.

I meant to post this before but I forgot with everything else that has been happening. Aldi has removed Soy Flour from many of their breads and baked goods! Their basic sandwich breads, buns, and rolls seem to now be safe for me to eat! They even have a "Hawaiian roll" that is soy free! On my next trip I will check some of their other items as well.

Finally planning ahead again! Tomatoes were on an awesome sale ($1.29 for 24 oz, or about 86 cents/lb), so I bought 3 lbs to deal with this week. Also, I got 2 packages of single meal boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.50/lb, so we're doing chicken. And we're back to all our activities, so this will be planned through the week...

Sun (late Church/choir) - Uncured All Beef Hot Dogs (always all beef - I kinda hate those new blends with chicken, so I do stock up and freeze these when I see them) with Zucchini Relish and Brown Mustard, Tomato Slices with Fresh Chives and a Red Wine Vinegrette, Strawberries
Mon - Citrus Tea Glazed Baked Chicken Breast, Fried Polenta Slices with a Fresh Tomato Topping, Roasted Asparagus, Red Grapes
Tues - Chicken Fajitas (Onions/Peppers) with Diced Avocado/Diced Tomato/Cheddar/Lime Topping, Clementines
Wed - Baked All-Cheese Stuffed Shells with Tomato Sauce, Roasted Baby Carrots
Thurs - Sloppy Joes (having teens over, so simple it is), Baked French Fries, Sliced Pears and Apples
Fri - Leftovers with Fruit Smoothies (if no leftovers, I'll do Frozen Chinese Dumplings)
Sat - Out (Using our Red Robin GCs from Black Friday - we have accumulated 2 months worth, so that's gonna pay the full bill) - we'll hit the mall afterward, so the kids can have a nice "evening out" (since we'll probably have 2 date days the next 2 weekends for a dinner and then the Avengers)...

I skipped Wednesday's meal and made a Crockpot Tofu and Asian Black Bean saute (with onion, bell pepper, celery, carrot, garlic, some garlic hoisin sauce, and soy sauce)...no recipe for this, but I had a can of Bush's Asian Bean from our TN trip and a container of tofu from lent that needed using, and this really, really worked. I threw in leftover rice from a previous meal and served it as is with fruit on the side...so this means I still have the stuffed shells...and here's this week's plan...

Sun (late Church/choir) - Baked All-Cheese Stuffed Shells with Tomato Sauce, Caprese Salad, Strawberries/Blueberries (these cook over 60 minutes, so I think I can toss them in before we leave and grab them when we get home - that's the plan
Mon - Beef and Fresh Veg Stir Fry (got a great sale on snap peas, green beans, and bell pepper, so I'll toss in some green onion, garlic, and soy, and call it a day, White Rice, Clementines
Tues - Chicken Enchiladas, Homemade Guacamole and Chips, Blueberries/Blackberries
Wed (out ALL day) - Crockpot Tikka Masala Chicken with Fresh Veg (Radish Greens, Baby Radish, Onion, Bell Pepper, Tomato), Leftover Rice, Mango/Banana
Thurs - Baked Lamb Meatballs, Homemade Tzatziki Sauce, Arugula Salad, Double Berry Muffins
Fri - Leftovers and Smoothies (if no leftovers, we'll do Frozen Pizza)
Sat - OUT (Date night for spouse and I, fast food/pizza for kids - we are gonna hit a local Chinese place with a Groupon)

Sounds interesting - I've never used beans in an Asian style dish- will need to look out for those!

Back from our spring break trip - had to totally restock the fridge - we had done a good job of using up what we had before we left! Hit the asian market, so I have tons of great veggies to use this week.

S- Asian braised chicken thighs, rice, pea shoots
M- Stir fry with last night's leftover chicken, plus rice noodles, bok choi, red pepper, napa cabbage. Maybe add some peanuts?
Tu- Chicken Tikka with chickpeas and roasted cauliflower, cous cous
W- Tofu Scramble (tofu, diced pepperoni, zuccini, tomato sauce over spaghetti)
Th- Pulled pork sandwiches, napa cabbage slaw
F- Burritos - black beans, whatever veggies are left from the week, pulled pork, if there is any left from Thursday.
Sa- Homemade Pizza - topping TBD

The Bush's Asian beans were a special type we got on our Pigeon Forge trip last year (straight from the Bush's Bean factory) - they were a limited-time offering, so I don't know if you'll find them on shelves. My spouse is kinda bummed b/c that was the last can of any beans we had from that trip (we also had gotten a few cans of Siracha and Jamaican styles). Although, I'll also be buying more if I ever see them on my local shelves.

PS - That was a really nice little museum to visit, since it was free and they had a heckuva cool souvenir store...

its lasagna with hamburger sausage mushrooms and pepperoni layered with noodles and cheese mix of your choice and a more chunky tomato sauce my husband does not like ricotta so I go very light and mix it sour cream and mozzarella cheese for the sauce its one can fire roasted diced tomatoes and a can of crushed tomatoes

Today it is sunny, but temps have dropped quiet a bit, so I can still grill outside

DS12 requested grilled pork chops & fresh yellow corn cobs
I'll also make mac n cheese and take some pasta out for DS12 before the cheese
also thinking about maybe a small can of baked beans for me & DH
fresh baguette
Then off to training after dinner

Ugh... had a failure!

Tonight was supposed to be salmon with roasted squash but I forgot to take the fish out of the freezer. So I picked up a burger and fries at 5 Guys.

Then when I got home, I was getting the cat food out of the pantry only to notice that the buns for the pulled pork tomorrow were moldy! Ugh!

So tomorrow night will be the salmon and then Thursday will most likely end up being hamburger helper or something like that. I am so frustrated!

If you have a bag of frozen french fries, you can make pulled pork fries (have something light and fresh, like a coleslaw or fruit salad on the side and the meal is done) - these are amazing, and you may never go back to bread again - the internet has tons of recipes, but it's pretty much bake your fries, take your pulled pork and top them, and then add cheese/chives/sour cream/BBQ/whatever you like...

That actually sounds really good. No fries sadly, but I have more pulled pork in the freezer so will make those at some point as well!

Tonight will be hamburger helper and green beans. Not feeling 100% so something super easy is more important that anything else.
