Midweek meal planning 8/5/15

My tomatoes look great but all are still green. I think I planted a little late again but I have a handful of big ones that are yellow so soon and very soon! Have all sorts of varieties, thanks for sharing the tomato recipes, I will take the skins off and freeze my extra.

Monday: Super delicious turkey meatloaf and some Orida (sp?) frozen potatoes that you then mash, bought on clearance at Target and first time tried them they were super yummy.

That is seriously all I can think of in the moment :-) tonight we are eating out since the boys are paintballing at 4pm and too far to get home to eat after. All sorts of school stuff going on next week so I am going to start planning some meal ideas and a way to be more organized! Still need something on my freezers for tracking what is in them but have been eating out of them and not shopping for a while so they are getting a bit cleared out! :-)

I wish mine were going crazy!!! Its my first year trying to grow them. We did cherry tomatoes. Any guidance would help! ? congrats to you tho!!! Those look yummy!

Sunday: Went to a party not cooking Monday: Grilled chicken thighs from J. Caputo $1.29, Asian noodle slaw and fruit from Aldi Tues: Leftovers from Monday Wed: Quiche with bacon in freezer, spinach and cheese. Pie shells in freezer. fruit Thurs: BBQ pork chops, potatoes on the grill, salad Fri: Ham from an Aldi sale awhile back, slaw since I have fixings left, Hawaiian rolls from Aldi Sat: leftovers from ham and slaw Trying to cook from my freezer next week.

Sun. - Naan pizza (you can get that Naan bread (a two-pack) at Aldi's), made with some Perdue shortcut chicken for the meat (one can add basically any kind - turkey pepperoni works well, too), spiced up tomato sauce (an 8 oz. can was enough for four of the Naan bread), cut up raw onion, cheese, and salad - first time I tried the Naan bread and it was great Mon. - More teeny steaks from the freezer, eggs and hash browns Tues. - Cowboy biscuits, had some jumbo canned biscuits (two, with 8 biscuits in each), one pound browned hamburger (from a "reduced for quick sale" that I had in the freezer), sauteed onion, added 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (bottled), tsp. mustard, 1/2 Tbsp. worcestershire, cheese on top. Push biscuits into muffin tins and form to the cup, add hamburger stuff, cheese (I had block cheese, so I just cut it), bake 375-400 degrees about 20 minutes, add salad on the side. I still had leftover meat for this because my muffin tins were the regular size so I can use that meat for something else. Wed. - Aldi's had had on markdown some of the turkey andouille sausage (similar to a brat, made spicier), on hot dog buns, along with baked beans, and salad Thurs - Whole chicken, potatoes (I don't know yet what kind). Will try to find a recipe for the chicken where it is cooked at a higher temperature, but less time Fri - Cube steaks (I keep finding those on special!) - "chicken fried" again - it is so good. I don't get tired of it. I will add potatoes (for the gravy, of course) Sat. - I will make a turkey ham in the crockpot (but it won't be more than 3 hours because the turkey ham kinda breaks down after too long and gets mushy inside), rice, and green beans (?) Sun. - I don't have anything planned at this point - will check the freezer for something! Maybe we'll have tacos - have some taco shells in the cabinet. I still have a few days to think of something

I made peanut chicken with noodles since I had a good amount of peanut butter from the jewel sale!
