My friend who moved this weekend to FL brought me the remains of her freezer Thursday (this was unexpected), so I made what didn't fit to end the week. Thursday, we had her Panko Coated Baked Shrimp that I made a Thai Red Curry Roasted Cauliflower and Onion to go with, and Friday, I made her 2 frozen pizzas. Tonight, since we went out for lunch, I used her ground beef for a Meatloaf, and added a Tuscan White Bean stew, strawberries, and Red Lobster Cheddar biscuits. I'm going to keep using up her stuff, since I don't know how old it is (so this week will bring plans from last week with things she has)...
Sun - 4 Cheese Quiche in a deep dish crust (she brought me eggs, an open heavy cream, shredded cheese, and frozen crust, so this seems like a no-brainer on a makeahead night), Green Leaf and Tomato Salad, Red Grapes
Mon - Chicken Pot Pie in the 2nd deep dish crust (so, it will be a crustless top - I might do a breadcrumb or something - not sure - I'm using some of her frozen peas and lima beans in this one), Strawberries
Tues -Homemade Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings (since I skipped this), Celery and Carrot Sticks, Blue Cheese Dressing, Diced Mango
Wed - Steak Fajitas (still have steak to get rid of), Homemade Guacamole and Chips, Fresh Pineapple
Thursday - Steak with Blue Cheese Crust, Carmelized Onions, Mashed Potatoes, Fruit Salad
Fri - OUT (My daughter is getting a restaurant meal with her honor society, so I'll be taking the other kids elsewhere - not sure where yet)
Sat - Leftovers and Smoothies (if no leftovers, I'll make Fried Dumplings and Tom Kha Gai soup)
Sun (Mother's Day) - OUT (Medieval Times Groupon we got awhile ago - my spouse is making me Crepes for breakfast, so it will be a nice full day...it's literally been a decade since we've gone, so I'm excited!)
Mostly stuck to the week - skipped the wings and did a baked fresh salmon day (got an amazing deal at the store - wild salmon for $4.99/lb - and boy was that meal loved), and Wed was a disaster, so I ended up making my spouse's favorite Cheeseburger Macaroni Hamburger Helper (somehow he gets this every 6 months and it makes him so happy - I did add some fresh tomato, onion, pepper, and 4 cheese blend, so it was a little less "fake-tasting" to me...he just reveled in the flavor), so the steak fajitas moved to Thursday and the steak dinner is today (which is good, b/c we have no leftovers...and there won't be leftover steak...so, time to make the new plan...
Mon - Crockpot Roast Turkey Breast (it's been awhile and Aldi's had an amazing stuffing deal, so it seemed like fate), Aldi's Stuffing Mix, Savory Mashed Sweet Potatoes (with butter and sage), Homemade Cranberry Sauce
Tues - Turkey and Bacon Club Sandwiches (Lettuce/Tomato/Onion/Mayo), Baked Onion Rings, Strawberries and Blueberries
Wed - White Bean and Hot Italian Sausage Stew, Mango Blueberry Muffins
Thurs - (Last of turkey - I'll use chicken if we have no turkey) Turkey Tettrazini with Fresh Roasted Mushrooms (one of my spouse's favorites that I haven't made in years - I make this from scratch by taste not recipe, and not with soup cans, so it's more a cross between a Tettrazini and an Alfredo), Roasted Asparagus, Sliced Pears and Apples
Fri - Leftovers and Smoothies - if no leftovers, it will be frozen pizza night
Sat - OUT (we are hosting a game night, so we'll probably get the fam their favorite fast food box - might be KFC or Wendy's)
PS - I figure we've had a lot of beef and chicken lately, so the fam should like the change to turkey and pork products this week...
