Weekly Meal Plan: Weds, Dec. 12 - Tues, Dec. 18

Weds, Dec. 12:
Chicken, Mushroom, and Bell Pepper Jalfrezi over Brown Basmati Rice with Garlic Naan

Today I decided to do a lot of "prep" work so that I could save time when prepping my meals throughout the week. I decided to:
Chop other half of the bell pepper and another 3 - 4 mushrooms for Egg Noodle Curry
Bag chicken breasts and place one into the fridge and the other into the freezer
Halve and pit remaining cherries for breakfast smoothies
Put remaining spinach into mason jar for breakfast smoothies
Make whole milk vanilla yogurt ice cubes for breakfast smoothies
Peel orange and place wedges into mason jar for breakfast smoothies
Slice up banana and freeze for breakfast smoothies
Freeze extra brown basmati rice

...can you guess what I'll be having for breakfast over the next several days? ;)


Thurs, Dec. 13:
Cheddar, Garlic & Chive Chicken Rolls (Based off this Mozzarella, Garlic and Basil Version) with Baked Potatoes and Salad

Also: pull meat sauce out of the freezer and place in a bowl in the fridge to thaw for tomorrow.


Fri, Dec. 14:
Pasta with Leftover (Frozen) Meat Sauce and Parmesan Garlic Bread


Sat, Dec. 15:
Garlic Lemon Chicken with Potatoes, Carrots, and Celery

Also: place extra chicken into a plastic bag and put into the fridge.


Sun, Dec. 16:
Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu with Garlic Bread and Salad


Mon, Dec. 17:
Egg Noodles and Rich Chicken, Mushroom, and Bell Pepper Curry. I made this with Sharwood's Thai Red Curry Sauce and a bit of Garlic Sriracha Sauce to make it spicy. I was underwhelmed by the combination of curry and egg noodles, but I can't comment on the sauce from the linked recipe since I didn't make that. Next time I'll serve my Thai curry over fluffy and light Jasmine rice.


Tues, Dec 18:
Southwestern Chicken Stuffed Bell Pepper and Baked "Taquitos" made with the extra filling.
