Well, my meals did not go as planned last week. MH took over, which was good, but we definitely we're on the same page LOL
So I may have some repeats this week since they weren't made last week.
What do you have on the menu?

hawkward and anybody else, talk to me about cauliflower rice. I see it in the store, but I'm hesitant for some reason. I love cauliflower, but MH doesn't. Does it taste like rice? Basically, can I seamlessly make the transition from rice to cauliflower?

Basically, can I seamlessly make the transition from rice to cauliflower? I like it all the time, but I really like cauliflower. H is not a fan, but he'll eat (and enjoy) it in fried rice because the soy sauce completely masks any cauliflower flavor. It's a decent sub for the texture. I think my best tip is to serve it with something with an otherwise strong flavor profile, like stirfry sauce, soy, or even the spices for Spanish rice rather than just plain. DS1 HATES rice and loves cauliflower rice. www.skinnytaste.com/cauliflower-fried-rice/ is the recipe I use (plus I add chicken). If I need to throw together dinner quickly, I use frozen pre-riced cauliflower and shred a rotisserie chicken, and it takes about 15 minutes from start to serving. |

MH has weird texture issues, like he compares ricotta cheese to coffee grounds. Okay, H, okay...
Maybe I'll try it this week. I mean, the man bought into sweet potato spirals last week so *maybe* this is my window of opportunity! LOL

Maybe this will help me stay organized and get me out of some of the cooking ruts I've gotten into
Sun: slow cooker whole chicken, baked potatoes, and veggies
Mon: homemade chicken nugget/tenders, fries, veggie
Tues: chicken fried rice using leftover chicken from Sunday
Wed: sloppy pasta (essentially sloppy jo with added veggies and put over pasta instead of bread)
Thurs: chicken stir fry with rice
Fri: eat out
Sat: bbq chicken and/or salmon, corn, and fries

hawkward I've been meaning to try cauliflower rice but get scared of the time it would take to rice it. Where do you get the frozen pre-riced stuff, or what brand is it? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk I was really intimated by the idea of making my own as well, but if you cut it off the stem and into small pieces you can toss it in a food processor and it is SUPER easy! |

In case anyone is wondering, I ate a handful of Doritos last night for dinner. At 8pm. So I'm really rocking this whole meal thing this week...

boxerific - MH and I made burgers at 9 p.m., so I'm obviously winning at meal planning. *Sigh*
