Here is the plan for May, Week 1:
Brunches: Milkrice and seeni sambol (Monday; May 1); leftovers (leftover milkrice, leftover sardines on toast, leftover French toast), salad, scrambled egg on toast or peanut butter on toast.
Dinners: Leftover spaghetti and sauce; rice with leftover chicken curry, leftover broccoli, etc., rice with chicken stir fry; leftover rice and chicken stir fry; patties with ground turkey filling; koththu roti made with lavash (maybe); soup (maybe; supposed to be cold and rainy this week).
Snacks/Desserts: Yogurt, fresh fruit, patties (if I make them), crackers with cheese or peanut butter.
That is the plan and the plan is subject to change, as always! However, having milkrice on Monday and finishing up the leftovers will not be subject to change!
Are you making a meal plan for this first week in May?
Time for milk rice again! Boy, time is flying.
ReplyDeleteYes, time is definitely flying! I made my milk rice, this morning, and there's enough leftover for tomorrow's brunch. :)
DeleteThose apricot turnovers look delicious, I love apricot jam. I forgot to amend my last grocery order to add sardines but I will be doing another order today, note to self order sardines :)
ReplyDeleteThey were quite delicious. Hope you remembered to order your sardines! :)
DeleteThose turnovers look yummy! I could tuck into one of those nicely! I have to curb my habit of watching cooking videos at night as they make me hungry when I don't really need to eat again!
ReplyDeleteThe turnovers were delicious! I get tempted by cooking videos, myself! I tell myself to eat some fresh fruit when I want desserts, but, sometimes, I am very tempted to bake myself a cake or something! :D
DeleteYou continue to have delicious and varied foods and some really thoughtful and tasty food gifts. Those jam filled pastries look very good :)
ReplyDeleteA lady on youtube that I like to watch sometimes makes a spaghetti squash and puts her meat sauce over it and it really looks good. I may try that as soon as spaghetti squashes are a more reasonable price. They're now $8.00 which is waaaay more than I'm willing to pay for a squash.
I cooked some chicken the other day and this morning I made a vegetable bean soup and added the leftover chicken to it so we will have that for the next few days.
It's really chilly here so it will be a good night for it.
Thank you, Debra; the apricot jam pastries were delicious!
DeleteI remember trying spaghetti squash and not liking it (many, many years ago). Haven't tried it, since. I know I tried layering zucchini slices with spagetti sauce to make a sort of lasagna one time (didn't think much about that, either!) LOL.
Soup sounds good and I've been thinking of making some, myself. It's been a bit chilly, here, too. But, I took out a packet of teriyaki chicken to thaw, today - I'll have it with rice and some stir fried snow peas and carrots. :)
The turnovers look delicious. I need to meal plan for this coming week. X
ReplyDeleteThe turnovers were delicious. Hope you are able to make a meal plan for the coming week, Jules.
