Week 5 Meal Plan Update

Another week of changes to planned meals, but, it worked out well enough for me.  I was trying to use up a few things that needed to be used up (in bold print) and I think I did OK. 

Week 5 (Use it Up!) Meal Plan:

Monday:
Brunch: Milk rice and chicken curry - I had half a can of coconut milk in a jar in the fridge, that needed to be used up before it spoiled.  I used most of it for the milk rice and added the rest to the chicken curry I already had in the fridge to make more gravy.

Dinner: Scrambled egg on toast, with or without bacon (depends on how much I want to dig through the freezer!); maybe a salad Cheeseburger and fries compliments of neighbor S!  Neighbor S brought over dinner and I chose to have some of that instead of the scrambled egg on toast I had planned!

Tuesday:
Brunch: French toast Cheeseburger leftover from Monday night

Dinner: Rice, chicken curry, the last serving of cooked green beans, curried sauteed cabbage, cucumber salad

Wednesday:
Brunch: French toast

Dinner: Rice, chicken curry (if there is any leftover) or and curried garbanzo beans, curried sauteed cabbage, cucumber salad

Thursday:  
Breakfast: Scrambled egg on toast? French toast

Lunch:  Salad Tuna salad sandwiches with lettuce, cucumber slices, thanks to Susan, who mentioned it in a comment on the previous week's meal plan post!  Suddenly, I was craving tuna salad sandwiches!  LOL!

Dinner: Coconut  flat bread  Paratha (Indian flat bread) and fish curry - I was too lazy to make the coconut flat bread; the paratha was in the freezer and was easier!

Friday:
Breakfast:  Coconut flat bread, fish curry Tuna salad sandwich

Lunch: Rice, garbanzo beans curry, curried cabbage (finishing up leftovers); the first peach from the tree!

Dinner:  Salad,  Rice, fish curry, cucumber salad; broiled chicken drumsticks (have to remember to take chicken out to thaw!)
 - I remembered to put the chicken to thaw, but, almost forgot to cook them!  I only remembered when I saw Anne (Cooking and All That Jazz) post a recipe for a Buffalo chicken casserole!  Then, I quickly broiled the drumsticks and ate one for my efforts!  LOL! 

Saturday:
Brunch:  Coconut flat bread, fish curry Scrambled egg, bacon, hash browns

Dinner: Salad, broiled chicken drumsticks

Sunday:
Brunch: Pancakes  Zucchini muffins, tangerine

Dinner:  Pasta with meat sauce, or, if I feel ambitious, then, lasagna!  Rice, fish curry, green beans (the ground beef for the meat sauce hadn't thawed in time to cook Sunday dinner).

Planned baking for the week: zucchini muffins, maybe bread pudding

I didn't make bread pudding, after all, because I ate several sandwiches during the week and ate most of the bread I had kept in the fridge (a few other slices were frozen). 

This has been my attempt at meal planning during the month of May.  I am not sure if it was successful or not, because I made so many changes to the planned meals.  I am also not sure if I will continue to meal plan in June.

However, today (Monday, June 1), I had milkrice with fish curry for brunch, followed by a peach.  Dinner was going to be pasta with meat sauce, but, the ground beef still hadn't thawed, so I finished the last piece of grilled chicken. 

I have a little bit of curried green beans and a serving of fish curry left in the fridge to be finished this week, and the package of thawing ground beef needs to be cooked - if I make the meat sauce, then, I can see myself eating pasta with it for several meals, this week. 

Do you meal plan on a regular basis?  Or, do you decide on a daily basis, depending on what you feel like eating?
