So, I'm planning as I go b/c I picked up fresh medjool dates, fresh cranberries, and fresh pomegranates this week (thank you Aldi for the deals on these, b/c I'd never use these without a deal), and I've never, ever cooked with the dates before this week, so I'm getting inspired as I go...

Sun - Crab and Shrimp Ravioli in a Pesto Sauce, Fresh Date and Cranberry Muffins (combo worked WAY better than I thought - rather than be complicated, used a base muffin recipe with just 1/2 cup of sugar in batter, but sprinkled sugar on undiced crans, flour on diced dates, and sprinkled the tops of the muffins - perfect sweetness and taste throughout - great sweet and sour effect)...
Mon - Pork and Veg Dumplings, Tator Tots, Green Grapes
Tues - Fresh Date, Pomegranate, Ginger and Soy Tossed Chicken Tenders (baked, then tossed in homemade cooked sauce with extra pomegranate seeds on top - adapted a chicken leg recipe), Mashed Potatoes, Cucumber Dill Salad

Edit to add Wed and Thurs plans.

Wed - Steakhouse Burgers, Onion Rings, Roasted Carrots, Homemade Sweet Potato Pie for dessert
Thurs - Homemade Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo with Sauteed Spinach on Top, Pomegranate Seeds and Apple Slices (to cut the richness)

Still thinking rest of week, but gonna make a fresh cranberry blueberry muffin - that will be a new combo for me...

Sunday I made tacos
Last night I had leftovers
Tonight I made chicken pot pie from Costco
Tomorrow will be chicken parmigiana with garlic bread
Thursday will be leftovers
Friday is breakfast for dinner
Saturday is leftovers

Cooking for one has been hard as I still cook way too much. It at least gets me a few meals though

There is nothing better than cooking chicken on the bone. Why? It keeps the meat moist and tender and adds a ton of flavor. Chicken breasts are people’s go-to cut of meat if they are trying to eat healthy, but I challenge you to try a chicken thigh. They get a bad rap because they have more fat, but that’s true only if you eat it. Here’s a trick. Trim off any excess fat. Peel the skin away from the thigh but don’t throw it away. Season the meat and add some fresh herbs. Pull the skin back over the thigh and roast it. Next, mix up a (sort of) BBQ sauce by combining honey with apple cider vinegar. When chicken is almost done, pull the crispy skin away and drizzle the honey mixture over the chicken. Return it to the oven for a few minutes and repeat. When the chicken is done, discard the skin and enjoy the tender, juicy, flavorful meat: https://meal5.com/simple-healthy-recipes/how-make-roasted-chicken-thighs

So, I don't know yet how the week will go totally, but I do know Wed/Thurs/Fri...still deciding my early week...
Wed - Out date night (spouse's birthday) - kids will get frozen pizza and fruit

Dinner: Citrus Herb De Provence Turkey, Giblet Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Stove Top Stuffing (my only non-homemade item), Pear Cranberry Sauce, Fresh Green Bean/Mushroom/Onion Green Bean Casserole
Dessert: Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Pie with Salted Caramel and Whipped Cream
Fri - Leftover, leftovers, leftovers - I'll make a Stouffer's Mac and Cheese (one kid asked for Thanksgiving, but they'll have to wait) to supplement the food if we don't have enough carb leftovers

Edit: Tonight's plan (Sun)
Asian Glazed Pork Tenderloin, Mashed Savory Sweet Potatoes, Fresh Pineapple, Fresh Cranberry and Blueberry Muffins (using all the on sale produce that I'm not using much of on Thursday)

Monday's plan
Mozzarella Sticks w/ Marinara Sauce, Roasted Bell Pepper Salad, Pomegranates with Apple Slices

Tuesday's plan

Okay, that's my week through Friday - I may have leftovers for Saturday, too, but I'll know after Thursday...

I got a job and I start Monday!!! *happy dance* Thank you all here for your support when I needed it. I really do appreciate the kind words and thoughts. It's a good job. The pay isn't as high as I was making, but the benefits and schedule are really good. So it balances out. Plus, it actually uses my education for once so I don't feel like grad school was a waste.

Here is my two week plan:

Sunday: Fried rice
Monday: L/O
Tuesday: Spaghetti with roasted red pepper sauce, broccoli, and garlic bread
Wednesday: L/O
Thursday: Thanksgiving- out with family
Friday: Appetizers- cheese and crackers, dip and chips, frozen app (1-2)
Saturday: L/O

Sunday: Turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, rolls, gravy, and peanut butter pie (and my friend is bringing another dessert but I have no clue what)
Monday: L/O
Tuesday: L/O
Wednesday: L/O
Thursday: Turkey tetrazzini
Friday: L/O
Saturday: L/O

@LilyWDW congrats on the new job.

This week will be simple and easy. I work retail but at least we aren't open on Thanksgiving and Friday we open at 9am which is only an hour early.

Today (off) I ran to the grocery and got some premade chicken paprika that I am having with salad
Monday (10-4) steak with sweet potatoes and zucchini
Tuesday (3-9:30) leftovers/frozen meal
Wednesday (12-8) we have a potluck at work so when I get home I will probably just do a sandwich
Thursday (off) doing an appetizer night at my Aunt's house, not into a full dinner this year
Friday (12-9:30) leftovers at work
Saturday (10-7) going out with the girls for dinner

jumping back on board- we don't eat out much, but I do need more ideas for meals

 

[westcoastfldisneygirl]

Wednesday: I have my workout class. Leftovers
Thursday: Penne with alfredo sauce and broccoli and meatballs from the freezer
Friday: Black bean, corn, tomato and cheese quesadillas, sweet potato tots

So, we are out of Thanksgiving leftovers somehow already...so I'm cooking today...I don't have my full week plans yet, but thanks to Aldi's discounting 85-15 ground beef under $2.50/lb and selling fresh pico for $.79 (another thing they had to get rid of, on top of $.25 fresh cranberry bags - yes, I got 6 to freeze for breads and fresh sauces), I'm making CHILI today! So, here's today's and tomorrow's plan...

Sat - Beef and Bean Chili - toppings of cheddar cheese, sour cream, and chips to dip, Homemade Apple and Fresh Cranberry Muffins
Sun - Restaurant-style Nachos (chili, fresh guac, cheddar, sour cream, shredded lettuce, pico), Leftover Muffins - fun football food...

 

[LilyWDW]

Okay, so I made the most awesome chicken wings last night lol. I just have to brag. The sauce was peanut butter, honey, sesame oil, coconut aminos (sub for soy sauce), garlic, and siracha. Sweet and spicy. It could have used a bit more siracha to turn up the heat some, but it was nicely balanced.

Eating leftover wings tonight. Tomorrow I am making the big turkey dinner.
