| Sunday Dinner: Rice & Curries (Chicken, Lentils, Green Beans) |
Time to start the month off right and plan a few meals!
I picked up groceries on Friday, June 30 and did just a little bit of meal prep over the weekend. I cooked milkrice, seeni sambol, and 10 hamburger patties on Saturday and cooked a chicken curry with 4 lbs. chicken thighs and a lentil curry and curried sauteed green beans (from the garden) on Sunday. I'm not sure if that counts as batch cooking, but, meals during the week will be based on what I've cooked over the weekend, with other items prepared to supplement them as needed.
Brunches: Milkrice and seeni sambol (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, too, with some chicken curry, as well); toast and cream cheese; cereal and milk, egg salad or tuna salad sandwiches
Dinners: Hamburger (with the ends of bread for the bun; Saturday and Tuesday); Rice, chicken curry, lentil curry, curried sauteed green beans (Sunday and Wednesday); Chicken curry sandwich with potato chips and sliced cucumber (Monday; who needs cold cuts when there is chicken curry?); coconut roti with leftover chicken curry or mackerel curry; breakfast for dinner (scrambled eggs and baked potato wedges or pancakes with bacon).
Snacks/desserts: ice cream bars, the last zucchini muffin, fresh fruit, canned fruit cocktail, cereal
That is the plan; we'll see how it all turns out!
How about you? Are you making a meal plan this week? If you are in the U.S., are you planning a special meal for July 4th to celebrate Independence Day?
Just to wish you a happy 4th July I hope you have a good day.
ReplyDeleteI hope your meal plan turns out well.
Thank you, Eileen. Hope you are having nice weather and it is not too hot or rainy. :)
DeleteNo meal plan here, per usual, but we seem to eat, anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the most important thing, isn't it? That you are enjoying some good meals and not going hungry. :)
DeleteYou are right, who needs cold cuts when there is chicken curry! My DDIL tries to avoid cold cuts and will cook extra chicken for sandwiches. I have done that from time to time as I know those nitrites or whatever in the cold cuts are not healthy.
ReplyDeleteI like cold cuts and they are so convenient, but, they are too expensive, right now. On sale this week with a digital coupon for $3.99 for a 7-9 oz package (depending on variety); $5.49 regular price. Processed food is getting to be so expensive these days that I tend to think twice before buying them. Making from scratch is probably healthier, too!
DeleteYum! Very tasty food to start your month. I know you like to meal plan so it's good you are back to it. And with S away, your chance of success is good lol
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debra; yes, the meal planning is working! I've stuck to the plan, so far! Planning to make the coconut roti, tonight.
