Time to review how I did on my meal plan for Week 3 which was on the cool side, with highs in the low 70s.
This was the plan:
Brunches: Waffles and corned beef✔, egg salad sandwiches, Indian style cream of wheat, toast and peanut butter
Brunch: Cup of tea (I was not hungry)
Dinner: Tomato soup (made from the leftover salad that S had given; tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, basil, garlic powder; I tossed the black olives as I don't really like olives and didn't think they'd taste good in the soup)

Snacks/Desserts: Yellow cake, Fuyu persimmons from the garden
Tuesday:
Brunch: Corned beef hash (leftover corned beef, potato, tomatoes, onion, chili powder, garlic powder) and a scrambled egg

When I first glanced at the tomato soup, I thought it was a pumpkin pie. :) However, both are good. Maybe next week, I'll see a picture of an actual pumpkin pie. Do you like them?
ReplyDeleteNow that you've mentioned it, the soup does look a bit like pumpkin pie, doesn't it? I do like pumpkin pie, but, I don't think I will be having any until Thanksgiving. :)
DeleteThe meal plan this past week was:
ReplyDeleteSunday: chicken, pepper, onion, broccoli stir-fry & rice
Monday: smoked turkey sausage, potato pancakes, corn
Tuesday: haddock, peppers, rice
Wednesday: zucchini, meatballs, sauce, salad
Thursday: steak, broccoli, frozen cauliflower, mixed vegetables
Friday: salmon, mashed potatoes, frozen vegetable mix
Saturday: salad with anchovies & white beans.
There were salads for lunch, soup and some bars, nuts, packaged snacks for nephew who was out and about most days.
I love your photos of meals. The waffles look especially delicious!
Your meal plan sounds delicious! Something different every day, too! I took the photos mostly to remind me what I ate! LOL. But, thank you!
DeleteThere aren't many foods that I don't like but tomato soup is one of them. Corned beef hash I do like. I have my grocery order delivered this afternoon and we will be having a roast lamb dinner this evening, the leg of lamb is roasting in the oven right now, I'm giving salads a miss now the weather is cooler.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny that I don't like fresh/raw tomatoes, but, I like tomato soup, pasta sauce, tomato chutney, etc. :) I hope you received everything you ordered, Eileen; your lamb roast sounds delicious! It's been a long time since I've had lamb - the regular grocery store doesn't have it, only the ethnic grocery stores carry it.
DeleteThat soup looks good! Seeing the waffles makes me almost regret donating my waffle iron a few years ago!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bushlady. It was a good way to use up the tomatoes and peppers from the salad! Oops, sorry the picture of the waffles almost made you regret donating your waffle iron! I love waffles and so does my daughter, so I will be keeping my waffle iron. :)
DeleteIt all looks delicious. I'm going off-plan this evening, as I haven't had time to prepare anything. Xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. It's fine to go off plan, every now and then. I've already gone off my plan and it's only Wednesday! LOL.
DeleteI don't care for olives either. Or mushrooms.
ReplyDeleteI don't care for mushrooms, either, but, I will eat them, occasionally.
