*Enchiladas, black beans
*Pasta salad with tuna
*Dh out of town, so not sure
*Spaghetti and baked ziti, salad
*Wings, corn, spinach dip
*Dh camping with boys, dinner with dd somewhere
today we had grilled chicken, wild mushroom couscous and steamfresh broccoli, carrot and cauli with teriyaki sauce (all were freezer and pantry stockup items that i bought super cheap). I have a lot of grains like that that were bought at big lots for very little, or with a coupon. LOTS of couscous-- I think i have one box of curry and 2 plain, then a box of tabbouleh, wild mushroom risotto, and well yeah, theres more LOL. I am trying to make a dent in the pantry before i hit the store, but I may go tomorrow. Dieting when there is very little in the way of fruits and veges in the house is hard work Although I have pasta out the wazoo LOL. I do still have plenty of spinach, cucumbers that i think aren't over the hill yet, a few potatoes, and a handful of baby carrots. Also have a bunch of cilantro that didnt make it onto the tacos last night. God only know what I will do with it now LOL. Oh I might have celery too I can probably eek out one more day, maybe two, although i dont know if i can feed the kids for 2. Really honestly I could eat for a few weeks, the problem is that Dh and the kids (all picky) are running out of options.

I do also the picking of the list thing except I have a list of only 7-8 every week. this week:
- Meechi's black bean salad with chips and leftover dal
- tortellini and spinach soup and baked cauliflower (sprinkled with cheese)
- ww penne with red pepper cream sauce and curried chickpea salad served in lettuce leaves
- homemade pizza (mushrooms, olives, cheese, garlic and fake pepperoni or hawaiian, haven't decided yet)
- beans and brown rice with salsa, cheese and sour cream
- ww pita pockets stuffed with sprouts, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas and tahini sauce and melon kebobs with yogurt sauce
- beans and brats (I cook the beans with molasses myself) and fruit salad with yogurt dressing
i only wish anyone at my house ate beans ( Kids and dh with sensory issues do not lead to budget friendly shopping> Dhs list of things he wont eat is longer than what he will I would say. He tries, poor man, I will give him credit, because he knows it is important to me, but his obvious distaste that he tries to conceal makes it hard. We have added a lot of foods over the years, but beans (dried or fresh like peas, snap beans etc) and potatoes, are still a no, and most cooked veggies are as well.
I haven't even thought about meal planning this week. If you read my post on the market about Cole's medical issues and Doctor's appointments, you'll know why. Praise the heavens for universal healthcare. But I confess the last two nights were fast food. Other possibilities for this week:
A sausage and vegetable curry over rice.
Then pork chops, mashed potatoes, some frozen vegetable
Salmon, rice, salad
Stroganoff (Dave brought home lots of organic brown mushrooms from work)
Spaghetti
