Eat at Home 3!

[TwoMisfits]

Did my shopping today, so gonna post the next week...

Sun - (2) Domino's 6.99 large 2 topping pizza deal for kids and spouse with Taylor Farms Green Goddess plant-based salad bag (aka, a Safeway one I can eat) and raspberries and grapes. My spouse may grab me an McD double hamburger with lettuce and onion or I may have leftovers with the family sides. Not sure yet...
Mon - Aldi's (new) Beef Brisket, mashed potatoes or mashed sweet potatoes, strawberries and kiwi
Tues - Taco Tuesday - Safeway had the whole grain taco shells 75% off, so it will be our 1st hard tacos in awhile - ground beef tacos (Aldi's 93% beef), lettuce, tomato, salsa, cheese, sour cream, and either diced avocado or homemade guac with sliced oranges and blackberries
Wed - Aldi's Chicken Breast sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, onion and BBQ sauce, cucumber avocado salad, fresh pineapple spears
Thurs - Pasta night - Leaning (HMart frozen deshelled) mussels in arrabiata sauce or white wine garlic sauce over spaghetti, roasted zucchini, blueberries and orange slices (which will also be Friday)
Fri - EDIT: Son asked for burgers, so it will be burgers with all the fixin's, bagged fries, and berries - so, fries are changed for Saturday
Sat - Lunch out for a special occasion, so dinner will be light - BLTAs, roasted carrots, and fruit (whatever I have left before shopping)

Is this the Aldi's Beef Brisket? How do you prepare it? I can't find a way to blow up the cooking directions to read it.

Nope, it's the one in this video (seems there's not a pic online yet that's easy to grab).

Real brisket, not corned beef brisket...

And I'm gonna follow the directions for my oven - water container and 6 hours at 250 - I think it's 2 uncovered and 4 covered - since I have to be home Monday, the long time won't matter, and it's pretty hand's off, so I figured I'd try it for beef that was under $5.50/lb...

Happy to share. I will say I have no idea why it’s named sticky chicken, the recipe is from a friend. It is surprisingly flavorful as I find some things I make in the crockpot to be bland.

One whole chicken
One onion
Rub for chicken
2 tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoons cayenne
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix all the spices and rub the whole chicken (I lift the skin on the breast and do over and under the skin.) Any leftover rub I put in the cavity. Let the chicken sit overnight. I use a crockpot liner to make clean up easy so I put the chicken in that, seal with a twist tie and put on a plate in the fridge overnight

The next day dice the onion and place in the chicken cavity. Cook on low 8-9 hours.

You do not need any liquid. The only downside is the skin is not crispy but I usually remove mine even on baked chicken. They chicken may fall apart when you remove it.

I like the idea of this thread!
We like to plan ahead but am already off for this week
Last week it was helpful for us to have "egg cups" made ahead, and then just a piece of sourdough toast added and we have a healthy breakfast ready to go. I work from home part time so if I don't eat in the am, its noon before I can!

Egg Cups
-curl 1/2 slice thin ham in each section of a sprayed cupcake pan ( we use Applegate farms)
-drop one egg in each
-add whatever cooked veggies you like ( mushroom/peppers/onion all hold up well)
-sprinkle a little cheese if you like ( we do cheese on half of them).
-Bake at 450 until whites are done, about 15-20 minutes
Store in fridge and warm up in the am!

Sunday: BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad
Last Night: Taco bar
Tonight: Roast (already in the crockpot)
Tomorrow: Lasagna
Thursday: Crockpot chili
Friday: Crockpot shortribs
Saturday: Homemade pizza

Should only need to grocery shop for milk and fresh produce to make it through the week.

Sat - Lunch out for a special occasion, so dinner will be light - BLTAs, roasted carrots, and fruit (whatever I have left before shopping)

Switched pasta night Th and taco night Tues (and pasta night was a hit Tues with the mussels in arrabiata). But now I have no lettuce left, so I'm gonna skip tacos again tomorrow and make a dairy free western quiche (we call it egg pie b/c it's double the eggs and half the "milk" with rice milk of what a quiche is) with maple and cayenne glazed bacon wrapped plantains (those are all 4 ingredients, so it's that simple) and pineapple and blueberries (forgot the pineapple tonight for other fruit, so it will be tomorrow). Pretty much ran the rest of the week as is, so not bad planning...and at some point, we'll eat actual tacos...

Sat - eating out

Sun - teriyaki salmon bowls

Thursday- Teriyaki tacos with rice
Friday- Leftovers/whatever is around the house
