Menu Ideas? Lunch and Dinner?
So please share your favorite meals/meal ideas and even snacks with me! I'm preparing for another grocery shopping trip (I shop for 2 wks at a time!) and am making meal plans... I even need breakfast ideas. I'm burned out on my activia and 1/2 of a thomas thin w/cream cheese.
I'm going to try the pizza soup some other OH friends gave me, and probably Sandi's hillbilly sushi (sounds yucky but it's yummy!), and probably some beef kebabs on the grill...but this still leaves me very short on meal ideas...

Viv, those ideas sound great, do you have any other faves that are a bit higher in protein? I'm not too big on cottage cheese, but I will definitely do the fruit and of course the pb! LOVE it. I also have a costco membership, so I'll check the fruit out.

I do chicken in the crockpot all the time....
put as many chicken breasts as you want in the pot... add 1 of the following:
1 jar of salsa, or picante sauce
1/2 bottle of SF BBQ sauce
1 can cream of mushroom or chicken soup
1 can Ranch style beans
cook on high 4 hours or so.... then shred meat with a fork.... DH gets his over rice or pasta, I eat mine with a tortilla or crackers.
You can also add any veggie you want to make it a casserole. Just add fresh stuff with the chicken, frozen stuff about 30 mins before serving.
Also you can bake a whole chicken in the bigger crockpots.... just rinse chicken inside and out, rub down with salt, pepper, garlic powder, whatever you like, stick in crockpot and put the lid on... 4 to 6 hours and it will be falling off the bone...

My hillbilly sushi... (got it from the ex and its cause the kids LOVE it!!!) THREE ingredients..
sliced ham (or turkey) softened cream cheese (or spread), dill pickle spears (dried off with a paper towel).
Lay out the meat slice... spread a layer of cream cheese on the meat and place the dill pickle on it and ROLL! slice them big or small or however you want. (I make them and put them in the freezer to "set up".)
