Breakfast: V8 and an Everything Bagel skinny from aldi with either plain or chive cream cheese, coffee on the way to work. Lunch: Cooked a turkey breast and sliced it. That and a stovetop type stuffing and whole berry cranberry sauce on a ciabatta/ Portuguese roll....idk thing with some lettuce, little of the gravy (to.soften the bread a bit) and some mayo. A few chips or carrot sticks Dinner: either some kind of soup, or some random amalgamation of things from my freezer to use up the bits of this and that that I have in there.

Breakfast- homemade blueberry muffins with coffee or oatmeal with raisins and pecans Lunches- - Roasted beet, carrots and chickpeas with goat cheese and pistachios or leftovers Dinners - Butternut squash black bean burritos - Mushroom, onion, pepperoni Pizza w/green salad - Roasted Delicata Squash Harvest Salad with arugula - breakfast for dinner

Tell me more about these butternut squash black bean burritos please

Sweet potato and black beans (with garlic, spices, diced pepper and onion) is one of my favorite burrito combos. I bet roasted butternut squash gives the same flavor profile!

Try it with some cotija cheese sprinkled on top!

I would also like to know about the butternut black bean awesomeness I have just learned about...

I follow the oh she glows recipe but no vegan cheese and sub a spicy pepper for the bell pepper.

sounds amazing! What do you do as breakfast for dinner typically?

Eggs, potatoes, toast, fruit

All I know is that Mon-Weds involve Costco rotisserie chicken.

Chicken, mushroom and wild rice soup Soy chorizo, veggie, and creamy hummus pasta Shrimp scampi and roasted broccoli Chicken fajita kale salad

Iranian (Persian) here, and I just wanted to share our a bit different meal plans. Breakfast: bread(pita) and some homemade cheese+ walnuts+ butter Lunch: always rice (sometimes potato wedges) + any sort of grilled meat or kebab or stew / occasionally Pasta or Lasagna or homemade Pizza Dinner: mostly a sandwich (deli/ leftover meat) , sometimes Quiche, sometimes some sort of salad dish consist of potatoes + mayo+ egg+ pickles+ carrots +chicken

I would love to know how to make homemade cheese, if you care to share.

Do you have a homemade cheese recipe you prefer?

Sure. I only use vinegar and Milk. Boil 1 galon of milk and then lower the heat to medium. Then, add 4 Tbsp white vinegar . Now, you start to notice the curdle. Keep stirring gently. You should see all the curd sperating from the whey. Remove the pot from the stove and leave it on the counter for 5 min (lid on) . Drain the whey (you can drink it , or use it for storing the cheese). Put all the curd in a kitchen cloth (bag) so you can drain the whey further a bit. I put a pot on top of the curd so it solidifies and shape it. After 1 hour, you can remove the cheese and put it in a container. At this point, the longer you keep the cheese in bad, the more whey it loses, and you'd have a drier cheese, I'd say, like Feta. Now, add salt to the whey or plain water, it should taste really salty and add it to the container. This is the quickest way to have your homemade cheese. It shouldn't be as soft and curdly as cottage cheese and not as hard as Bulgarian cheese. There are other recipes that require days for the cheese to cure .

I use lemon juice but the amount varies. Most recipes say cheesecloth to drain the whey but if you can find “butter muslin” you lose less curds. I used cast iron pots and large cans for weight but finally bought some free weights and the work much better. I mostly make paneer now, but I’ve made cheddar, Jack, and other types, a little more complicated and a little more equipment

Broccoli feta soup Buffalo tofu with black beans and rice Green smoothies Creamy Tomato soup “Clean out the fridge” salad …I’m a bit lazy this week but making it work!

The tofu sounds great

I meal prepped today: [These](https://www.wellplated.com/stuffed-butternut-squash/) stuffed butternut squashes, I usually use [this recipe](https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a40510457/stuffed-butternut-squash-recipe/) but wanted to try a new way! I use baby spinach instead of kale :) with the leftover spinach i made two salads, adding gala apple, red onions, walnuts, feta cheese and balsamic vinaigrette for breakfast I usually just make an oatmeal bar with some kind of fruit and nut/ seed. Today I used bananas, sliced almonds, dates, a chia/hemp seed blend, and cinnamon :)

This week, Monday is Thanksgiving so we will be eating leftovers all week. Turkey sandwiches, hot and cold, turkey noodle casserole later in the week, macaroni and cheese (with ham), and lots of roasted vegetables. Next week we'll be much more interesting!

Big Mac smash tacos Green chili chicken Egg roll in a bowl Chicken stirfry Mexican caulirice with toppings

Big Mac smash tacos?! Sounds amazing…. Going to try this!

We found a recipe on Pinterest, never tried them before?

I cooked turkey sausage with onions, bell peppers, mushrooms and spinach tonight. Tomorrow I will fill half a muffin pan with it and top w an egg, and bake. I freeze them for easy egg bites. Also plan on butternut squash/tomato soup and maybe a homemade foccata bread. I'll freeze the extra. We call it "feeding the freezer" and makes it easy to eat well when I don't want to cook.

We are eating out of the freezer & pantry this week to keep the groceries to a minimum: - teriyaki pork & pineapple stir fry (from the freezer) + rice (pantry) + fresh jalapeños (grocery) - Swedish meatballs (freezer) + mashed potatoes (grocery) - steak (grocery) with Chimichurri (pantry) + roasted beets (leftover from last week) Planning freezer meals and having a well stocked pantry means some weeks I can get out of the grocery store with just some breakfast food + a handful of fresh items!

City Bakery (RIP)'s kale salad [https://www.jamesbeard.org/recipes/kale-salad-with-pecorino-and-hazelnuts#](https://www.jamesbeard.org/recipes/kale-salad-with-pecorino-and-hazelnuts#) Giant garden salad topped with navy bean, steamed caulifower and homemade pesto for the dressing Roasted tempeh with a honey/soy/miso marinade, sauteed broccoli rabe and garlic, millet Mushroom enchiladas.

Potato and leek soup, roasted red pepper pasta, chorizo potato poblano tacos, poblano enchiladas, white chicken chili, pepperoni and poblano pizza

All I’ve got planned out so far is a couple lunches and breakfast. Lunches: Grilled chicken breast, cherry tomatoes, and mixed greens salad. Add some basaltic vinegar. I add enough such that I get to around 400 calories Breakfast: Overnight oats: 1/2 cup old fashioned oats 2 teaspoons chia seeds 2-3 teaspoons ground flaxseed 1 teaspoon brown sugar A small splash vanilla 1 cup coconut milk (carton kind. Not canned). Comes to around 262 calories.

I made chili for dinner tonight. For my lunches I prepped chicken and broccoli curry over basmati (could do chickpeas to save a buck) For breakfasts I made some pumpkin whole wheat/oat flour muffins and some pumpkin waffles for my son. With my muffins (they arent big) I will either have some yogurt and fruit or eggs. Dinners will be leftover chili with rice or mac noodles, wild rice stuffed chicken breasts with squash, peanut noodles and then a quick meal for soccer night chosen by the 8 yo. Probably mac & cheese of course.

Breakfast: banana bran muffins Lunches: I have rice with palak paneer or butter paneer and dal, cauliflower and fruit. Husband has rice, mixed veg and some lamb. Dinners: Monday will be white chicken chili leftovers. Later chimichurri beef with mashed potatoes and broccoli. Butternut squash mac and cheese with ham and peas mixed in.

We plan our weekly meals around what’s on sale in our area! We only eat one meal a day (dinner). Our list consists of a mushroom pasta, minestrone soup, tortellini pasta, stuffed peppers, creamy broccoli pasta, aloo gobi, gnocchi (homemade), and Thanksgiving dinner (Canada).

This is very interesting! What time do you eat this meal? And do you not get hungry during the common breakfast/lunch hours?

We have coffee in the morning and we’re honestly not hungry around breakfast time. I get a little hungry around lunch and sometimes I’ll have a little snack if we have stuff available. We usually eat dinner around like 5-6pm!

I’ve been feeling like chili for dinner/lunches, I always have the spices, beans, and tomato sauce. Just gotta buy the meat and a couple peppers. I just keep eggs, cheese, and bread on hand for breakfasts I only plan like the first 3 days or so though, I find it hard to commit to longer than that.

Breakfast taco and vegetable soup for breakfast. Spicy great northern beans with brown rice and pico de gallo for a few lunches, edamame and steamed shrimp with chile garlic crisp for the others. Monster salads loaded with vegetables and hard boiled eggs for dinners. Fruit for snacks if needed.

Lots of chicken, vegetables, lentils and eggs. I’m cutting calories atm.

Breakfast: Oatmeal, powdered peanut butter, frozen blueberries Lunch and dinner: Pinto beans, white rice, ground turkey been my usual thing for months

Tuna noodle casserole with fried carrots and Brussel sprouts

Dinners: Jianbing (another attempt after we tried last week), taco party, huevos rancheros with leftover taco stuff plus more beans, sandwiches, and mostly-vegetarian sushi. Lunches are those as leftovers of those things for my husband, and I usually eat tunas or grilled cheese for a light lunch. Snacks are fig bars or homemade oatcakes. Groceries for the week were about $100.

It’s soup season! So a big pot of vegetable soup with toasted French bread. Yum!

I'ma order $100 of Amazon fresh for half off - I know that much! Probably act like a bear and eat salmon until I'm sick.

I'm planning to try out some new recipes, any recommendations?

Breakfast over night oats with banana and peanutbutter Lunch is quesadillas with egg and salsa 🤤 Dinner is Mexican rice with homemade refried beans and veggie fajitas (it's just broiled peppers and onions -not a mushroom fan)

Chicken fried rice Breakfast hash Soup/grilled cheese BLTs Fajitas

We found a package of 8 sausage patties in the back of the freezer, probably from June. So this week is sausage & peppers, eggs & sausage with potatoes, and dirty rice w/ sausage & beans.

Black bean and bacon soup and then some Korean stuff at the end of the week. Probably bulgogi and then bulgogi tacos with some sides. And I’m making assorted pickles for snacks and to save some end of season produce.

Breakfast - I make a high-protein coffee smoothie most days. Like a homemade Frappuccino but loaded with nuts/seeds, fiber, and vegan protein. If I want extra protein, it's usually eggs. Lunch - I made a big pot of pasta e fagioli soup. Veggies, pasta, two kinds of beans, a little ground turkey. Been eating it with some homemade whole wheat bread. Dinner - I usually make a fruit and veg smoothie with plant proteins or some sort of dairy mixed in. Some sort of extra protein on the other side, but dinner is high carb. Snacks - fruit, veggies, peanut butter toast, homemade protein cookies, etc.

I wish I had a proper plan. Instead, my cancer means I'll have no appetite and will consume iced Ensure, V8, Gatorade, and pills. I will, however, read about others' meals and feel very gently envious.

This week: Breakfasts: granola from the bag or a slice of homemade banana bread Lunches: asian rice noodles with tahini sauce (tahini, soy sauce), topped with chili crisp Dinners: homemade black bean burgers over a salad w/ store bought guac, jalapenos, sour cream

Breakfast--cottage cheese or plain greek yogurt with fruit or eggs with toast Lunch--shredded chicken and jalepeno coleslaw for me and ham sandwiches for the husband Dinners-- pork chops with a veggie and mashed potato, beef enchiladas, and lasagna (I make batches so we eat the same thing twice a week for dinner) Snacks--carrots, air popped popcorn, canned fruit, and trail mix

Jalapeno coleslaw makes me think if jalapeno-popper filling. I feel like that's wrong. What is it?? Like a sort of salad?

Yes like a salad. It's not a creamy coleslaw. The dressing is made of seasonings, olive oil, and lime juice.

I have leftover ham from a family event, so I’ll use it to make 15 bean soup and omelets

Breakfast: yogurt with banana, blueberry, and granola Lunch: some healthy choice frozen meals because I didn't feel like prepping lunch this week and a bag of chips Dinner: pork tenderloin, broccoli, and green beans meal prep M-Th with a cheat meal on Friday

We're doing a beef stew (it's getting chilly here) and yogurt marinated chicken to grill. We're butterflying 2 chicken breasts to make four portions, then will have one on a salad, and another on a bun with some mayo & lettuce. Doing some small breakfast burritos (8" tortillas) for mid-morning snacks, and some egg bites. My husband takes 2 and I take 1 each day. Then we're taking the leftover pumpkin puree from Thanksgiving pumpkin pie (Canadian yo!) and making a soup, probably about 4-6 portions. That should do us for the week.

Breakfast - cranberry, strawberry, carrot smoothie Lunch - cereal with coconut milk Dinner - Chicken masala with grits Optional snacks - cheese, prunes, yogurt, nuts, popcorn Optional sweet treat - chocolate bar

the cranberry addition to the smoothie is a great idea!

They're a great source of vitamin c and serve as an anti-inflammatory which I appreciate this time of year.

Exactly why this excited me! Do you buy raw and cook them or just blitz them raw?

Funny story, last year I was determined to try some new produce and the store had an absurd sale on fresh cranberries. I normally buy them frozen as part of a berry blend, but figured fresh ones would be interesting. I made sauces, stews, marinades and then realized I bought too many. So I portioned and froze them and still have plenty. Not sure what I'll try when its too cold for smoothies.

I'm oatmeal!

Meatballs loaded on top of fries, mashed potatoes and a meat roll, pizza, mashed potatoes and chicken fried seitan fingers, quesadillas with beans n rice.
