Thursday was sausage and sauerkraut.
Friday was pizza - but my children only picked off the topings so next week they will get a plate of olives, apples and pepperoni .
Today was going to be fish but the girls were done and needed to go to bed so it became cheese quesideas.
Tomow lunch - the fish: talapia with capers and lemon. Over black rice and some random roasted veggies.

We did super simple for lunch. I'm just extra emotionally drained right now. So grilled turkey and cheese sandwiches it is! With raw veggies on the side.

DH and I recently switched to a DF/grain free diet and I also work evenings a few nights a week. Because DH doesn’t really do a lot of cooking; chicken salad with AMAZING homemade ranch (made with homemade mayo) is a staple in our house several nights a week.

I love chiles rellenos! I only make it as a casserole, though. Too much work to make them the authentic way! I need to make that again, soon. :yum

I can't remember all that I've made so far this month.

Shaking Beef (never heard of that one, it was in our PlateJoy menu. It was pretty good.)

Saturday was penne pasta with Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and wilted spinach. Lots of garlic. :yum

Last night was clam chowder.

Tonight is chili.

Tonight was a last minute Instant Pot to the rescue delicious dinner! :rockon

Threw several frozen chicken breasts in the IP with 1/2 cup water and about a cup of our fave bbq sauce. Cooked then shredded.

Boiled potatoes and steamed veggies and bam, easy peasy complete and healthy meal. :heart

I made a rice casserole for dinner last night. The rice was undercooked :doh so I added more milk put it back in the oven and baked it longer and it will be reheated with cheese for tonight's dinner. :rockon

I made load baked potatoes and salad.

Salad toppings: sunflower seeds, feta cheese, quinoa, apple.
Baked potato toppings: shredded cheddar, pinto beans, beef, sauted onion, butter. Not all ingredients were for everyone. Some don't eat beef, some don't like beans on their potatoes. It was a load them yourself style.

Tomorrow I work so I wont cook.

And compared to this our dinner was totally slack. We had potatoes with bacon and buttery spread. I had dreams of getting a veggie in there but we we're all too tired.

We are having peanut butter noodles. Well, the kids are. I'm having the sauce over rice instead. Trying to get myself gluten free.

I made this Pioneer Woman soup
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/s...and-kale-soup/

But I subbed black beans for sausage, veggie broth for chicken broth, and coconut milk for milk/cream. My vegetarian and dairy-allergic son didn't even eat! :doh I thought it was delicious, but I'm used to random substitutions in all my recipes.

That looks yummy! What quantity of beans did you sub for the sausage?

Singingmom 03-07-2018 07:15 PM

Re: Magnificent March Meals
 
Two cans. Three would have been fine, and white beans would have been good, too. (I only used one can of coconut milk for all the milk ingredients, and I added a handful of pecorino romano at the end.)

Goodness, I just looked at the link. I used the recipe in her Dinnertime cookbook where she says 4 c. broth, 2 c. half and half, instead of the reverse at the link. I would go with the book!

I'm trying to help dh eat low carb to jump start some weight loss for him. I'm doing it with him to help him. I think posting here will help motivate me to do good dinners. Tonight was our first night:

Tailgate chicken (marinade with beer-hopefully this wasn't too bad. I had it already in the freezer)

Rotated cauliflower

Salad with homemade ranch dressinghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...838b203be7.jpg

Beef stroganoff with home made gluten free egg noodles.

Neither of the girls liked it. I thought it was a pocibility so I made rolls and roasted broccoli for them to eat.

The egg noodles are definitely something I am going to be making again. They we're fast ( bearly longer than cooking store bought gf noodles) and simple. I want to play with drying and freezing some. https://www.frugalfarmwife.com/artic...e-egg-noodles/
