GoingNuts:
Sunday - Grilled chicken cutlets, grilled veggies, baked beans.

Tonight - Stuffed chicken breasts (mozzarella, spinach, sundried tomatoes), potatoes (was supposed to be Polenta, but damned "shared facility" >:() and sauteed green beans.

Tues - Pasta with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, garlic; salad.

Wednesday - Whatever fish looks good, roasted squash, cauliflower and potatoes.

Thursday - Bean and veg burritos, guacamole.

Friday - Pizza!

CookingMom:
Tonight - Pot Roast (sirloin tip, onions, carrots, potatoes--take some of the juice to make gravy for me)
Asparagus with garlic
leftover challah

Tuesday thru Thursday - leftover Pot Roast as long as I can, then Beef Barley Vegetable Soup, might throw in Chicken Fried Rice (have leftover rice from meals this past week) or leftover Pasta if there's a rebellion :rant:
assorted breads as necessary

Does anyone else plan meals like I do?

eragon:
yes. i do!

sunday was roast lamb, roast potatos, mint sauce, peas , carrots, greens, gravy.
apple pie and custard.

creamy leek and carrot soup, baked potato, and oven baked sausages. ( some like the soup, some hate it so this sort of works)

sheperds pie, savoy cabbage , gravy.

roast chicken with garlic, ginger, wine, rock salt, paprika etc. ( if its in the larder i will throw it on sort of meal.)

oven baked fish, veg rissioto.

beef curry and rice.

CookingMom:
What I meant by plan is that I cook a large meal and think how many ways I can use it for other meals during the week...and how long I can get away with it before the complaints begin! For example:

Sunday - Pot Roast with all the trimmings
Monday - Leftover Pot Roast with another vegetable, might add salad
Tuesday - Leftover Pasta from Saturday's dinner, salad, garlic bread
Wednesday - Soup made from the roast leftovers, salad, homemade biscuits
Thursday - Leftover Soup, different homemade bread, maybe a dessert to ward off the complaints of having leftovers again
Friday - Shabbat - must make nice dinner again, chicken "something" :yes:
Saturday - give in to last week's request to make pizza
Sunday - what can I make that will have the potential to have leftovers? ;D

GoingNuts:
Aaaack - my long reply was just lost in cyberspace!!!

I have to disguise my leftovers really well, as DH hates them and the boys aren't much better. If I make something that freezes well like chili, beef stew, lasagna, brisket, etc., it's OK, but otherwise not so much.

Yesterday: Corn flake crumb chicken that became Special K chicken because I ran out of corn flake crumbs, LOL. Seasoned sweet potato rounds, salad. Vegetable soup made from whatever I wanted to finish up and get rid of on Saturday.

Today: Spinach lasagna, salad.

Tueseday: Chicken/bean/cheese enchiladas made from (shhhh) leftover corn flake crumb chicken. Whatever veggies look good.

Wednesday: Shrimp something. Probably stir fry with veggies, rice.

Thursday: Turkey chili. Salad or veggies.

Friday: Our shabbat tradition - pizza!
