DH and I returned from WDW last night so back to normal cooking for me. He went to a dietician a few weeks ago because during his annual checkup his dr. recommended it since diabetes runs in his family. He wants to start eating more veggies and less carbs so he doesn't end up getting it. His mom controls hers pretty well with diet but he wants to not ever even be diagnosed. Here's what I got for this week:

Sun (off): chicken & veggie chipotle tostadas
Mon (8-5): taco taters
Tue (1-10): saucy beef and cabbage supper
Wed (off): chicken harvest salad
Thu (8-5): shrimp/ham and squash/corn stir fry
Fri (off): chicken pot pie
Sat (1-10): leftovers or grab something before work, DH will grab something after church

Was the dressing thin enough to not get a burn notice?? I might need to add this to my list of IP recipes. Sounds yummy!

No burn notice for me the cup of plain dressing on the bottom was pretty thin and the parm mixed goes on top of the chicken

My January whole month plan went better than my by the week plan. For February, I will be out of town for two dinners but I plan to cook in advance and leave it for the hubs. All the vegetable sides will be whatever is available when I grocery shop.

1 Indian chicken dish (I have a jarred red sauce from Aldi, can’t think of the name)
1 Indian chicken dish (I have jarred yellow sauce from Aldi, can’t think of the name)
1 terriaki pork loin
2 spaghetti
2 Alfredo
2 steak tacos
2 chicken taco salad
2 Ken’s sesame Asian chicken
2 pork dumplings and egg roll bowls
2 Thai chicken basil rice
2 cottage pies
1 meatloaf
2 lemon garlic chicken
2 chicken pot pie
2 cilantro lime chicken salad
2 pizzas

My shopping list comes out to $125 for dinners, less if there is a good chicken sale. I was also told Priceless has fifty pound bags of potatoes for $10. So I might grab one of those, and mash them and freeze it to get all th mess over at once.

 

[TwoMisfits]

Sun - Carryout Domino's Pizza, Chopped Mango and Red Grapes
Mon - Fried Chicken, Roasted ****ake Mushrooms and Onion with Green Beans, Sliced Strawberries, French Bread
Tues - Steak Fajitas (got a 1lb of Lemon Pepper Sirloin Steak at the grocery today for $2.50, so this was an easy call) with Baby Bell Peppers, Onions, Black Beans, and Avocados, Clementines and Blueberries
Wed - Baked Chicken Breast (Thai Peanut Sauce, I think), Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Broccoli, Sliced Strawberries and Green Grapes
Thurs - Chicken Salad Sandwiches (Celery, Grapes, Walnuts, Mayo) with Lettuce/Tomato, Baked Fries, Sliced Apples

I just wanted to share my potato haul lol

They are utility grade which means you have some the size of tennis balls, and some bigger than my hand. It’s the “throw all the odds and ends into a bag”, bag. I am mashing the smaller ones tomorrow and freezing them. The big ones will be loaded baked potatoes for lunches. My kid is a potato junkie.

First thing I thought of with this weather was a loaded baked potato soup or a chowder (I make a cross between the 2 b/c I throw in all the extra veg of a chowder...but still do bacon and cheddar, too...
