Needless to say, I had a slice of pizza and a cinnamon roll for my dinner and dessert!
Are you making any meal plans, this week?
You are so good at planning this out. It puts me to shame! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diana; not trying to make anyone feel ashamed or bad in any way. I don't always follow my plans, but I try to! In any case, it is helpful to me to have at least an idea of what to make for my meals. :)
DeleteOccasionally my husband has a different main meal to me as we don't always like the same things. Last evening i had lasagne and garlic bread and he had chicken and chips so I don''t bother making meal plans as I have what I fancy and so does he. You do well with your meals plans and those unexpected yummy extras from your lovely neighbour.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. My meal plans are subject to change, especially if my neighbors bring me something different! Or, when I don't feel like cooking what I had planned. When you and your husband have different meals, does that mean you have to cook two different dishes?
DeleteI do have to prepare two different meals Bless so that I can have what I fancy now and again.
DeleteI see. Sounds like a lot of work, Eileen, but, I suppose you can make a pan of lasagna and freeze portions of it for another time. I've been wanting to make some lasagna, myself, but, need to order the ricotta cheese, etc., that is needed.
DeleteThat pizza looks yummy and has made me really fancy some for dinner!! Love FD xx
ReplyDeleteI love pizza! I hope you can have some for your dinner, soon, FD. :)
DeleteThat pizza looks really yummy. Well, so does the dessert, too!
ReplyDeleteIt was all quite delicious, Bushlady, and much appreciated, too. :)
DeleteYou do a great job of sticking to your meal plans. Better than most people I know.
ReplyDeleteThank you, June; I try! :)
Deletehahahaha Right up to posting time, neighbor S comes through with more goodies lol
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I would've chosen that to eat too. Cinnamon roll and pizza - what more could you want?
I know! "Hold the presses! More goodies arriving!" LOL. I can't think of anything better than pizza and cinnamon rolls! :D
