Meal Plan and Grocery List - Week 4/17-4/23

I have compiled my meals and grocery list for the week.   No quantities are placed on the grocery list so that you can cater it to your needs. For example, I will double the recipe for the paprika chicken because I have 5 people to feed, and I want multiple meals to come out of it.

I did not list a recipe for the hamburger steak with onions and mushrooms.  This is because I do not have one.  I will post what I do exactly but it’s pretty simple.  You season your ground beef and make into patties. You then place in a skillet and cook until done. See told you it was easy. 

I will probably make myself some turkey burgers instead of using the ground beef, but this is because it fits more into my diet.  My husband and kids want regular hamburger steaks, so that’s what I’ll cook for them.  (I also have enough chicken and shrimp that I may not need to make me a separate meal. It depends on how much time I get)

I did not list a breakfast item again, because I will be making my own recipe. If all goes good, I will post my new recipe later.  I love coming up with my own recipes!

Weekend Meal Prep - Easter Weekend

Image
First, I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! Ours has been beyond blessed. We spent all day Saturday at the ball fields then today, our oldest two got baptized. My heart is so full right now! Since we were going to be busy, I split the meal prep into two days instead of all on one day. As it happens on most weekends, I ended up altering my original meal plan I had posted earlier.  I decided to not fix the rice with the taco salads.  I also added some roasted asparagus because my parents gave us some they had just picked out of their garden.  What is better than fresh?  Our grill is also out of commission so I made Sauteed Garlic Chicken.  That is one of the things I LOVE about cooking.  I can take each recipe and make it work for us. If you notice, I use parchment paper when cooking anything in the oven.  This is to save me time. The parchment paper keeps foods from sticking to my pan. It also keeps my pan from getting very dirty which ma...

Weekend Meal Prep 4/29 and 4/30

A day late and a dollar short! I normally post these on Sunday, but didn't have time.  I again altered my plan from earlier in the week.  For Meal #3 instead of roasted chicken, I grilled it.  I also had some fresh veggies leftover from Meal #1 so I decided to grill those too.  Out grill finally kicked the bucket at the very end of the summer/fall last year, and we decided not to replace it until it was time to grill again this year. Well we got a grill this weekend and I was more than ready to use it! Day 1 - Chicken Parmesan over Sauteed Vegetables. For this, I had no recipe. I started by preheating my oven to 425 and chopping up my veggies. I used 1 lb of zucchini, 1 lb of squash, and a few onions.  You can add whatever you want to for this. I then heated up 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the pan and sauteed these veggies until tender.  I also added some salt and pepper to taste.  Once done, I placed these in the bottom of a greased 9x13 i...

Weekend Meal Prep 5/06

SO, I had taken some beautiful pictures of all my food, but somehow my camera ate them. I am an engineer and yet my camera and computer teamed up against me and I can't retrieve some pictures. I did happen to save a few though. We only cooked one time this week. I had went to a local grocery store to get meat for the grill and noticed they had chicken and pork on sale. I went ahead and stocked up on this and didn't cook any of the fish. I started out by getting the meat marinated.  My husband requested a homemade white sauce, so I went ahead. With the chicken, I will eat mine with the skin removed, so I didn't see it as a big deal. All my white sauce includes is a Little bit of Mayo, A lot of vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can add more  mayo or less vinegar depending on your tastes. Some people like their white sauce sweet, so add sugar if this is the case. I mixed up my white sauce and added the pork tenderloin and chicken to it. I let it marinate unti...
