Below are the meals I’ve planned last week. Second week of meal planning went well. Getting better at sticking to our grocery list.
Green salad with Stir Fried Pork.
This time, I marinated the pork in Chinese wine, a little soy sauce, salt, pepper and a little vinegar and sugar. I also put sesame oil while frying the pork strips. If you want to add ginger while frying, it will taste good too as I had tried it before.
Beef Asado.
This is marinated beef in tomato sauce and a little soy sauce. I also put carrots and potatoes. This can be for toppings in either green salads or noodles. I also packed some for my hubby’s lunch on one of the days.
Taiwanese Noodles with Beef.
I missed the beef noodle in Singapore and lately I noticed I’ve been craving Chinese food and so we bought a box of instant Taiwanese dry noodle in Costco. The noodle is quite good with sesame taste. Noodles are cooked in just two minutes. Then I just add the beef asado as toppings since I cooked almost 2 kilos of beef.
Grilled Red Tilapia.
This is also from Costco. Four big Tilapia. I have put the two pieces for the recipe, fish Sarshado. The other one we ate for dinner and the last piece of fish, I also put in the freezer I usually prepare the grilled tilapia during dinner. I really like the grilled tilapia because it’s so easy to prepare (salt, pepper and lemongrass) and in just 20 minutes it’s cooked. We just grill it in the oven. If you want to try it, make sure to turn the tilapia after 10minutes so that both sides are evenly cooked.
Pork Humba (Bisaya version).
My hubby cooked it J and it lasted for a couple of days. This has salted black beans and banana blossom. It was our first time to try Pork Humba (Bisaya version) and we didn’t quite like it though and so unlikely we will cook it again.
Elbow Macaroni with Shrimps.
Shrimps are my savior specially when I don’t have time to cook at night and I’m so hungry already. This is so easy to prepare and cook. The elbow macaroni can be cooked in just 5 minutes. Stir fry garlic and onion in olive oil and a little butter and fry with the shrimps. Just put the cooked macaroni in the mix and stir. Add a little tomato sauce, salt and pepper and stir for another few minutes and voila, done!
Fruits (Banana, Strawberries, Apple, Blueberries).
I like to add strawberries and blueberries in green salad. Sometimes, I just add apple and a little honey. However, after a couple of days, the fruits are finished. Either we had to wait for grocery time again or we will buy fruits again on the weekend. Usually, we just wait for “grocery day”.
You may have noticed that my weekly meal plan is far from perfect. My goal is to have enough delicious and healthy food specially for lunch as I don’t really have time to cook. Also, both my daughter and hubby pack lunch and so it really needs to be prepared in advance.
What about you? Love to know how you do your meal planning.
