It will all depend on how much I feel like cooking, this week!
Sounds like it all went well and I'm sure it will this week too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha. No one will go hungry and that's what is important, isn't it? :)
DeleteI get the "How/what I feel like cooking" thing. Currently I wish we could live on apple slices and popcorn.
ReplyDeleteMake it apple slices and peanut butter and I think that's just what I'll have for my lunch, today!
DeleteWhat we eat definitely relates to what we feel like and how much we feel like cooking. A plan is good, however. At least then you have something to fall back on when you're not sure what to do. Now if we only had a plan. No matter how many times I plan meals, I never keep it up for very long. But I guess what we're doing is working okay.
ReplyDeleteAs long as what you are doing is working for you, that's all that matters, isn't it? My meal plan is only a suggestion, at this point!
DeleteYou are eating such a variety of foods. That's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephenie. I already went off the meal plan, today, and made a fish curry for lunch!
DeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteI found something in the freezer with pork pieces and mixed beans and it smells good so I'm going to go with that tonight!
Sounds good - a different version of "pork and beans" I guess. :)
DeleteYour planned and actual, meals sound so delicious. Your daughter's drawings are fantastic. She's quite talented xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ratnamurti. :)
DeleteYou have a nice variety of meal ideas, which is what I'm trying to do this time. It's definitely soup weather over here so I will be cooking up pot loads as soon as I get my next delivery.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Nothing like a bowl of hot soup to warm one up, is there? Hope you get your delivery, soon.
