Weekly Menu Plan for October 31, 2011 to November 6, 2011

Monday

Zatarins dirty rice with ground turkey and fat free refried beans.  Turned that into tacos with corn tortillas and some shredded cheese, have tons of leftovers for lunch tomorrow for the both of us.

Tuesday

Did most of the cooking for the week today.  First off I froze the leftovers from yesterday, I had it for lunch, hubby took leftovers from Sundays meal for lunch, and froze the rest of the dirty rice, and mixed in the leftover beans, will be able to get 4 more individual meals out of freezing it.

I’m slow cooking a small brisket in BBQ Sauce, can serve that on a slice of toast with some mashed potatoes.  I made 2 packages of mashed potatoes, 1 package to go with the BBQ beef and the other for another meal.  I also made a boxed sweet and sour chicken stirfry, added some frozen veggies and mixed in the rice.  I cooked up 3 chicken breasts and used half for the stir fry and the other half for a casserole, I cooked up a box of stuffing and added in a can of corn and the other half of the cooked chicken and baked it in the oven and then added some cheese and let sit in the oven for a few more minutes to melt the cheese, and going to serve this with the other packet of mashed potatoes.  I ended up having that for lunch with some leftover cranberry sauce from Sundays meal. 

So for dinner tonight we’ll be having the BBQ brisket with a slice of cheddar cheese on a slice of whole wheat toast.

Wednesday

Michael is taking some of the sweet and sour chicken stirfry for lunch today. 

Going to have the stuffing casserole for dinner tonight. 

Thursday

Made enchiladas with turkey chili, chili beans, 10 corn tortillas, velveta cheese, and cheddar cheese on top.  This I had for lunch and dinner. 

Friday

Today we took Skaro to a no kill shelter, we had been trying to get him in for the past 2 months, and he got adopted within a few hours, it was so hard having to leave him, I was crying so much and just holding him and then they took him from me, and we left, and a few hours later they emailed us to let us know he got adopted already, so that made it a little easier on me that he found a home so quickly. 

We went to lunch after taking Skaro, because we were in the same town we had to pick Brandon up in, and its an hour and a half away from home so pointless to go back home, after lunch we went to see Harold and kumar in 3D, it was a really good movie, nice to see something funny after going through something sad. 

Then we picked up Brandon and let him know about Skaro, of course he understood because he already knew we were trying to find him a new home. 

So for dinner we had a smorgousboard of leftovers, put them out buffet style and we each had a little of everything. 

Saturday

We Grilled up some Turkey wieners (note: last of our wieners we had in the freezer, we’re cutting wieners out of our diet for  a while now.) and some chicken and made some ravioli pasta with some white sauce (Note: I wasn’t really a big fan of the Ravioli, and I don’t really like white sauce so I only had a single ravioli) and grilled up some small potatoes, and also grilled 2 turkey burgers, we each got half a turkey burger. We had that for lunch and dinner.

Sunday

Leftovers from Saturday for lunch and dinner.  Decided since we had so many leftovers we didn’t go out to eat after dropping off Brandon like we usually do.  And also have plenty of leftovers for both of us for lunch for Monday as well.
