Here we go! I'll try to lay out rough sketches of my husband's lunches, though the freshness of the produce and quantities of leftovers will always trump the written menu plan.
Here's what's on the menu in the coming week:

Lunch - Chicken chili (chicken + assorted random veggies and chili seasonings, slow cooked for ages)
Dinner - MORE chicken chili...here's hopin' my batch is a good one, amirite?
My husband's packed lunch - Steak salad, fruit salad
Tuesday:
Breakfast - Onion and black olive omelette
Lunch - Purple Japanese sweet potatoes slow-baked, with Kerrygold - got these at my local Asian grocery superstore and am stoked to try them out!
Dinner - Burgers and salmon fillets (separately) marinated in lemongrass and garlic, grilled, and steamed broccoli with Kerrygold
My husband's packed lunch - Monday night's leftover chicken chili, banana pudding

be careful of those "pasta" products that may actually be .."not so good for you"...gluten free may or may not be full of "stuff"..that you don't want...it may be super processed...go past the labels and investigate all the ingredients and how they actually make them...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I wish that you had taken the time to actually click through the link to my eggplant lasagna recipe. You would have seen that it is "pasta" product free - the eggplant is thinly sliced to look like lasagna noodles. Next time, please investigate a bit further before making assumptions about the content of our dinner!
ReplyDeleteLOVE eggplant lasagna! I probably made it at least half a dozen times last summer when I was doing a CSA. It's a bit of work, but so worth it!
