I am afraid I didn't stay on the meal plan this week! I was in a snacky kind of mood and didn't feel like cooking that much.

Have you made a meal plan for this week? How is meal planning working out for you?
The exclamation mark tells me just how much you enjoyed the pizza and ice cream on Friday 😂
ReplyDeleteI'm following my plan, using up odds and ends this week and I need to go shopping tomorrow so I can make a start on the batch cooking.
LOL! I enjoyed my pizza, followed by ice cream! The funny thing is, when I first came to this country and tried my first slice of pizza, I didn't much like it! It took me several years to develop a taste for pizza (my mother, on the other hand, loved it right from her first taste of it!). But, now, of course, I love pizza!
DeleteWell done with following your plan and using up the odds and ends this week! Hope the grocery shopping goes well, tomorrow and the batch cooking, too. :)
I have no formal meal plan and it could be working better, but we're doing okay.
ReplyDeleteThe important thing is your way works for you and your family. :) My meal plan is not all that formal, either; it is more of a list of meal options, I think. :)
DeleteI love your menus. Regine

Thank you, Regine. It's fun to see what others have for meals, isn't it? :)
DeleteIt's been too hot to cook and I'm happy to have snacks too although I did make us a nice roast dinner on Sunday. Your pizza and ice cream sounds nice, I may well do that for our tea tonight.
ReplyDeleteA nice roast dinner on Sunday is traditional, isn't it? I am always ready for pizza! LOL.
DeleteI've just returned from buying groceries, many for the visit of DS and family. My supper tonight is going to be a frozen Thai noodle dinner that I bought because that is all I feel like preparing! I have thoughts of a frozen pork chop for tomorrow and maybe some pierogi on Thursday. Friday will be frozen fish and chips cooked in my little air fryer which does a super job with the fries.
ReplyDeleteGlad you felt well enough to go grocery shopping, Bushlady. Glad you bought yourself a frozen dinner. Sounds like you have your meal plan ready for the rest of the week!
