What great sounding menu plans!

Anyone want to share recipes for:

• Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops with Penne in Olive Oil and Garlic
• Kielbasa Bake
• Anniversary Chicken
• BBQ country ribs in crock pot
• French onion penne
• Korma chicken curry

I was under-inspired this morning. When I ask for ideas from DH, although I really appreciate his help and interest, he invariably wants something made with hamburger. That’s okay, of course, up to a point.

November 1 - 7

• Monday ~ Grilled chicken breasts
• Tuesday ~ Stromboli
• Wednesday ~ Egg roll in a bowl (with turkey)
• Thursday ~ Sausalito sandwiches
• Friday ~ Shrimp, salad
• Saturday ~ Pork chops, salad
• Sunday (DH cooks) ~

Other cooking I want to do this week:

• Chunky applesauce in slow cooker
• Caramelized onions in slow cooker
• Bake bread

BBQ Country Ribs
Country ribs are a cut of pork, cut from the pork shoulder. You can get them boneless or with bone-in (but it's not the full rib bone). Your choice ... they will shrink down during cooking, so take that into account. Add meat to the crock pot. I like to add a splash or two of orange or pineapple juice, probably no more than a 1/4 c., 1/2 c. if your crock is fairly full. Top with your favorite BBQ sauce, and turn on the slow cooker. I tend to let mine cook all day. If I'm home, I'll use my baster once or twice to keep the meat moist. Add more sauce, if desired. In the past, I've sometimes added cored and quartered apples. I like to serve with baked sweet potato and coleslaw as sides.

Parmesan Garlic Pork Chops https://pin.it/5Cb6YFi For the pasta,
I just melt butter with olive oil, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds, toss in cooked penne and add fresh shredded Parmesan, salt, pepper and chopped parsley. Toss and serve .

Kielbasa Bake https://pin.it/2pyDyLg.

I will surely be trying the Anniversary Chicken. I'd like to make it for DD's family when we visit around Christmas time. I'm not surre about the kielbasa, althought DH would love it. It would have to be sometime when I feel like my weight is way down.

Yes, Jampss, I love the chunky applesauce. I made it this time with monk fruit replacing the sugar, and it turned out great.

French Onion Penne Pasta.

350g penne pasta
680g chicken sausages or chicken mince
40g X2 satchet dry french onion soup
(reserved 1 cup pasta water)

Cook and drain pasta as per packet instructions. (reserve 1 cup of water to make soup)
Squeeze meat out of sausages and form balls or make meatballs from the chicken mince.
Heat oil in frying pan.
Cook meatballs for 8 minutes or until cooked.
Mix dried soup into the reserved pasta water, add to pan and mix well until thickened.
Stir through the pasta.

Either serve as is or place in oven dish and top with mozerella cheese and bake at 180 degrees until cheese melts.
Also nice served with a dollop of sour cream. We serve this with green beans or brocolli and carrots and some warm bread.

I find that this freezes quite well. If freezing and reheating it tends to be a little drier so maybe add a bit more water when reheating.

Full disclosure, November menu plans have been so far off, it's not funny. I typically plan my meals on Sunday morning over breakfast, do my weekly shopping (if needed), and then all hell breaks loose and the plan goes out the window. I enjoy cooking. But cooking for myself is sometimes difficult around this time of year, with the time change and other things that always take their emotional toll. So, with that said, here is the annotated plan for this week.

Nov. 14 - 21
Sunday -- lasagna, salad, garlic rolls (was slated for last week on Tuesday, but never happened, and I want to use the ricotta and parm before it goes bad)
Monday -- chili mac bake, with leftover pineapple and sausage chili from Saturday (Crock-Pot Crazy Pineapple Chili, https://twohealthykitchens.com/crock-pot-crazy-pineapple-chili/)
Tuesday – BBQ country ribs in crock pot, baked sweet potato, coleslaw, corn muffins (yes, another meal where the meat has been in the freezer for weeks)
Wednesday – roasted chicken breast, veggies, salad, rice
Thursday -- Widows & Widowers dinner out
Friday -- dinner out with girlfriends @ holiday market
Saturday – spaghetti, salad, garlic bread
Sunday – pot roast in crock pot with carrots and potatoes, salad (another carry-over, where the meat's been in the freezer for awhile)

November 14-21
Sunday - Pizza out with DD28 and DSIL
Monday - Eat out after picking up DS from airport
Tuesday - Potato Soup and Cornbread, Deviled eggs, Pound Cake (taking supper to a friend who had knee replacement surgery)
Wednesday - Shrimp Scampi, Garlic Bread, Salad
Thursday - Baked Chicken, Butterbeans, Roasted Potatoes, Salad
Friday - Gumbo, Rice, Crackers
Saturday - Beef Tips, Rice, Peas, Salad

Lori ~ Your meal plans are much more involved than mine are even now, cooking for DH and myself. If I were cooking for myself alone, it would be even more simple or at least more repetative. I might just fix a whole chicken and eat it all week long. LOL

November 15 - 21

• Monday (travel day) ~ Salmon patties (Costco)
• Tuesday ~ Joe’s Special
• Wednesday (lunch with Linda ) ~ Chicken (leftover?), chop salad
• Thursday (craft festival) ~ Leftover Joe’s Special?
• Friday ~ Salmon, chop salad
• Saturday ~ Asian chicken salad
• Sunday (Merwin cooks) ~ TBD
