Eat at Home 3!

Cleared out the upstairs freezer that is on top of our fridge. Threw out some freezer burned items. Going to use the items in the top freezer until it is gone and then continue work on the back freezer somemore.

tonight we are having hamburger helper and frozen broccoli.
homemade chicken pot Pie
pasta Bolognese and salad, I am.having zoodles with the sauce
baked tilapia green beans and rice for him
Grilled London broil baked potato for him frozen veggies
chicken fried rice
Breakfast for dinner
 
I had planned an extra meal last week just because we were grilling, and one night I felt sick still from a migraine I'd had so DH had leftovers. We have some extra grilled meats so I didn't need too much from the store this week which was nice. Here's this week's menu:

Jamaican chicken with pineapple and couscous
plum glazed pork chops with green beans and rolls
turkey saltimbocca with steamed lemon broccoli
sausage with red beans & rice
grilled chicken melts with watermelon
taco salad
 
Got beautiful yellowtail from Hmart today...had them filet it and then took the head and bones home, too. I made baked yellowtail with lemon, margarine, garlic, and dill with strawberries and blueberries and handheld cherry almond pies for dinner. I also have a yellowtail bone broth with lime and ginger on my stove to put away for lunches this week (it will go with some microwave rice, any leftover fish, and whatever veg I feel like adding).

Tomorrow, since my garden gave me 8 big tomatoes this weekend, I'm making dairy-free stuffed tomatoes with Italian sausage, Japanese eggplant, tomato, bell pepper, garlic, onion, basil, s&p, and breadcrumb (those who can have dairy will get a mozza sprinkle on top). I'll serve it with fresh peaches and plums.

I bought my girls fresh lychees and cherries and coconut milk, and asked them to try a dairy-free rice pudding with asian-style fruit and ingredients...we'll see if they take my bait:)...

I'll have Tues to Sat plans when my spouse hits Aldi's tomorrow night, but I know one meal will be burgers (since my daughter said we had a "ton" in the freezer)...after that, we'll see:)...
 
Man . . . I wish we had an HMart closer! Love yellowtail. Love fresh lychee, too! Your dinner sounds amazing. You sound like me. After a halibut fishing charter, I was the only person on the boat who wanted my head and bones and not just the fillets.

Our next few days:

Sunday: Chicken katsu curry over rice with roasted broccoli
Monday: Pasta, potatoes, and green beans with pesto, roasted purple cauliflower, bbq'd salmon
Tuesday: Sara Udon (seafood and veggies in a light gravy over crispy thin noodles--it's a Nagasaki regional dish that I haven't had in 30 years, but loved when I was an exchange student. I was so excited to find the noodles for it at Uwajimaya in Beaverton.)
 


This weekend is DS's 13th birthday. We have a family tradition of taking the B-day kiddo and a friend for a weekend away on the 13th. DS knows it is coming, but he does not know where we are going or who the friend will be. This is alway such a fun traditiion. But, alas, he is the baby.

cheeseburgers with corn on the cob
jalapeno chicken soft tacos
hot dogs with French fries
Cuban sandwiches with broccoli/carrots and Ranch
garlic parmesan grilled chicken with spaghetti
strawberry steak salad
 
Tried a new recipe this evening. It was awesome and we have leftovers.
Half box bow tie pasta
Can fire roasted tomatoes
2 tbsp tube tomato paste
2 clove chopped garlic
1 C bell peppers ( I used red because it’s what we had)
1/2 lg Vidalia onion
Olive oil
Adobo with cumin
Chili powder
Cayenne pepper
Corn starch 1 tbsp
Half and half 1 C
1 C shredded cheddar or Monteray jack ( I used a mix)
1 C of the starchy water the pasta cooked in
2 chicken breast cut into strips and cooked in olive oil with the garlic and spices while pasta is cooking
Set aside the chicken and sauté the peppers and onions in olive oil
Return the chicken to pan
Drain pasta reserving a cup of the water
Add tomatoes, half of the starchy water, corn starch and half and half to pot pasta cooked in and as it thickens return the pasta to the pot
Fold in the cheese and the chicken snd veggies
Add additional starchy water to adjust the thickness of the sauce
I didn’t measure the spices. I just added a few shakes of each and coated the chicken in adobo
Hubby had seconds
 
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Tonight we are having cheeseburgers, broccoli and (maybe-it’s so hot!) steak fries

We are back from our trip and I wanted to plan out the last week of the month. We were going so many different directions in July, a big monthly plan didn’t happen.

We have tomatoes, 120 pounds so far. So every meal except one will have tomatoes in it.

1. Stuffed peppers and okra
2. BLT, heavy on the T
3. Hamburgers and green beans
4. Chef salad
5. Chicken salad on green salad
6. Thai chicken basil rice
7. Chili (to use up tomatoes!)

For lunches I’ll be making spaghetti, messy sushi, egg salad, and bean burritos.

For these menus I’ll need tortillas, and salad greens.
