I’m trying to use up the stuff in my fridge this week. You know how you buy stuff and it kinda just sits there forever?!? Yeah, well that is my fridge, freezer and pantry. I’ve noticed that since I started trying all these new recipes out that I just keep going to the grocery store and spending A LOT of money on ingredients that are barely used. So, this week is a new challenge. I am going to try and stay far, far away from the store and just use what I have. I am also going to plan this week differently in that I am not assigning meals to a specific day. We’ll just go for whatever we’re in the mood for that day.
Last night I made meatballs and spaghetti. What I did was make a GIANT batch of sauce and I am going to freeze the leftovers for another time (or two).
Some other things we’ll be eating this week:
- Sesame chicken with garlicky broccoli
- Chicken burgers with corn and black bean salsa
- Spinach pizza and a salad
For the remainder, I’ll have to get back to you guys and let you know what I end up throwing together.

I’ve made a realistic goal for myself and that is to plan 4 nights of cooking per week. The other 3 nights we either go out, get take out, eat leftovers, or just whatever is around the house. This is what works for us. I usually do our menu plan on Sundays, compile a shopping list and go to the grocery store on Monday morning. I normally make at least one more trip to the store during the week, but I get all the basics and ingredients for our dinners. Here is the plan for this week:
Monday
- bacon wrapped turkey burgers with blue cheese sauce
- white bean salad with mandarin oranges and chives
Tuesday
- asian style tilapia
- mashed potatoes
- asian salad
Wednesday
- chicken and mushroom quesadillas
- mixed green salad
Thursday
- chicken curry with chickpeas and tomatoes

- steamed zucchini
Weekend
- take out, left overs, out to dinner

I’m enjoying sticking to my meal plan for the week. It makes life much easier. I create my menu over the weekend and write out my shopping list so I can go to the grocery store on Monday mornings. I have decided to only plan 4 meals per week for a while and see how that goes. The 5th day will be something simple, such as pasta or homemade pizza. We normally eat out or take in on the weekends. So, here goes! I am trying a few new dishes out this week.
- Japanese steak rolls, lime rice
- chicken dijon, garlic mashed potatoes, salad
- salmon marinade, broccoli, crusty bread
- fajita salad with creamy cilantro-lime dressing
Let me know if anyone wants any of these recipes. All but the salmon are recipes from HT members.

I’m trying to get myself back into this meal planning routine. I have been eating out and not cooking much in the past couple of weeks and it seems that when I do make a meal lately, it does not come out fantastic. I hate to admit it, but I think I’m out of practice. Summer is here and we love to grill. Well, my husband grills, but I help with the preparations and menu planning. Don’t have anything planned for the grill this week as far as I know, but I’m going to throw out some other ideas I have for dinner!
Monday: breaded chicken strips, french fried sweet potatoes, green salad
Tuesday: balsamic onion pizza, salad
Wednesday: italian style tilapia (made with garlic, olive oil, some white wine, chopped tomatoes, and fresh basil), roasted asparagus, bread with dipping sauce
Thursday: salad nicoise, flatbread
The weekend is up for grabs. We’ll probably go out, take in, and/or grill so I’m off duty. What’s on your menu this week?
