Meal Planning for the Week

February 4th, 2020 at 04:56 am

Although below is my plan for the week, with Mom's surgery and us unsure what day she is coming home for sure, things may get swapped around so that an easier meal is made that day. And there is the very real possibility that exhaustion may lead to one or two nights of take out. I hope not, though, because I feel much better when I cook myself. We do have two gluten free options for restaurants, though, so at least there is that.

I am trying to find other restaurants that have good options, too. I mean I know that any place that serves, steak, baked potato, and a veg is okay, but that gets pricey when feeding four people. We do have a gluten free burger place (beef, chicken, or turkey), although they do serve wheat buns as well, and a Polynesian place that does not use wheat flour. But I hope to avoid that. I am going to need as much nutrition as possible while taking on my mom's care. Plus it is always cheaper.

    Would your family eat a meaty soup ( for instance burger, lots of veggies, and rice or gf pasta, or chicken, rice, veggie)? I like those for days when time and energy are uncertain and they can be made ahead and only get better for sitting a day or two. You could leave out the starch till the day you are going to eat it so it doesn't drink all the broth.

    I doubt it. Maybe chili.
