Whew, life gets busy sometime & I don’t have time to plan, coupon & sale shop. I find when I don’t plan and prepare for the week, I eat so much worse than when I do. While this is certainly not the healthiest week of meals, I am moving back in the right direction.
Meal# 1: Grilled Pork Chops with Pierogies, Peppers and Onions– Create an aluminum foil pocket and coat bottom with olive oil. Add Pierogies and the frozen stir fry peppers and onions. Drizzle more olive oil over top and securely close aluminum foil pocket. Grill both aluminum foil pocket and pork chops until done.
Meal# 2: Crustless Pizza Casserole– click here for recipe. I will be taking crescent rolls, unrolling without separating and placing over top of casserole for a different twist.
Meal #3: Southwestern Stuffed Peppers– Take 8 peppers and submerge in boiling water for ten minutes. (This is figuring on a family of 4- 2 peppers per person) Cook rice and brown hamburg while boiling peppers. Remove peppers from boiling water and let cool. Preheat oven to 400 degree. Meanwhile mix browned hamburg, cooked rice, frozen black beans and corn, diced tomatoes and salsa in a bowl. Stuff peppers with mix. Top with Cheddar Cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Meal # 4: Chicken Cobb Salad– Bake popcorn chicken as package directs. Boil eggs. Prepare tossed salad as desired (lettuce, tomatoes, celery, cheese, etc). Add chicken once done and shelled, sliced boiled eggs. Drizzle with Italian dressing or dressing of choice. Top with Sunflower Seeds.
Meal # 5: BLT’s with Caprese Salad– Prepare bacon as package directs. Toast bread. Top bread with bacon, lettuce, tomato and condiment of choice. Toss cubed mozz cheese, diced tomatoes in olive oil and fresh basil for caprese salad.
Meal #6: Sausage & Potato Stir Fry– in deep frying pan or wok, heat oil. Add sliced smoke sausage, diced potatoes, diced onions, mushrooms, pepper strips, zucchini and yellow squash slices. Cover over low heat and cook, stirring often, until potatoes and veggies are tender.
Meal # 7: Popcorn Chicken & Pasta Salad– Bake Popcorn Chicken as directed. Boil rotini, then drain water. Toss with pepperoni, tomatoes, peppers, celery, Italian dressing and shred cheese. Top with sunflower seeds. Best served chilled.
