Today I asked the kids what they wanted to eat for dinner this week. I thought it would be nice to get their input and get a few suggestions to help me out. Here are the answers I got were, “cereal, pizza, carrots, pancakes.” Hmm, interesting suggestions, lets see if we can incorporate some of those requests into the meal plan 🙂
Monday – Curried Fish (minus the chillies) with noodles
Tuesday – Tandoori Chicken Wings with carrots, celery and dip
Wednesday – Cheesesteaks and homemade fries
Thursday – Fried Rice
Friday – Cream of Mushroom Soup and french bread
Saturday – My go-to simple pancake recipe with scrambled eggs and sliced fruit
Sunday – Dinner at my MIL’s
What’s on your meal plan this week?
Hi Salma,
I don’t make up the meal schedule; my hubby does. I cook for him, but in the near future, I probably won’t be eating the same meals. 🙂
Here’s what he wants this week:
Monday: Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans
Tuesday: Spam Soup
Wednesday: Taco Salad
Thursday: Baked Macaroni and Cheese
Friday: Pork Roast with Steamed Carrots, Potatoes
I’m not sure about the weekend. He usually orders out. 🙂 ROFL

Oh dear. I don’t plan my meals ahead. I should – it might prevent me snacking and eating ‘easy’ food! I’ll have some of those tandoori chicken wings though!
We don’t plan our meals either. I’m sure it would save us some money in the long run. But he is such a picky eater, he gets to do the grocery shopping and cooking.
My husband plans the menu for the week and then cooks it–and washes up afterward. What a man. Last night he made roast duck legs in plum sauce, roast potatoes, mediterranean vegetables, and leek with mushroom in cream sauce. Mmmm. But then, we don’t have to pander to children’s tastes.
I don’t do meal planning but am thinking of starting for Feb if it is possible. I normally cook on the go based on what ingredients we have on hand.
I love meal planning. It’s the only way I can grocery shop these days. This week we are doing:
Phad Tai Noodles
Vegan Mac and “Cheese” with garlic bread
Veggie burgers and fries
Potato and Broccoli garlic roast with black beans and a salad on the side
Lentil Sloppy Joes on wheat
Burrito Bowls and Taco Shells
I usually only prepare 6 meals during the week and one we eat out or order in. That’s sort of our “not so healthy night” lol
I try to meal plan, but when it comes to actually cooking the meals, I often fail and we eat out.
However, I found a bunch of crock pot chicken meals that I think I make low-carb and maybe my diabetic, autistic daughter will actually eat!
My work team is in town this week, so I’ll be eating out a ton! But I can’t wait to jump back on the meal planning train next week. 🙂
Those cucumber sticks look delicious! What did you put on them?
