Did you do a meal plan this week?
Per usual, no meal plan here, but we did go through a drive through more than we should have, so maybe one is in order for next week.
ReplyDeleteDrive throughs are very convenient, aren't they? Knowing there is something quick and easy at home is often a good deterrent to going through a drive through. :)
DeleteI've been meal planning weekly. Trying to eat healthy, and get more veggies and fruit. There isn't any bread in the house now as I always over eat it! Your meals look very good and mostly healthy also.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. I'm glad that your meal planning is going well. I'm not sure how well I'd do without bread!
DeleteI'm going to have to try making a smoked sausage stir fry one day. Yours always look so good. DS brought me two jars of his favourite commercial Butter Chicken sauce so I have bought some chicken breasts to cut up and that will be for tonight with some leftovers for another day and I also bought some pork chops, and there is frozen breaded haddock in the freezer, as well as some other iterms that just need reheating, so we are good for a while.
ReplyDeleteI think I like smoked sausage stir fry more than any other! But, then, again, I like smoked sausage! It sounds like you've lots of tasty meals to be made with the chicken, pork chops and breaded haddock. :)
DeleteSome delicious meal ideas, Bless. I finally managed to get on plan again this week, and I find that it makes my life so much easier.
ReplyDeleteI'll be having butternut squash risotto tomorrow night. Xx
Thank you, Jules. I'm glad you were able to get back to meal planning; it does make things a little easier, doesn't it?
DeleteReally good variety of meals.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing ok with the meal planning. I hate doing it, dread thinking of what to cook BUT it certainly helps with not worrying about it every day. Sigh. I think I struggle with some things as I don't want to spend what items cost lol
Thank you, Sharon. I'm glad you are doing OK with the meal planning. I keep looking for quick and easy meals. I fully understand the struggle over spending what items cost, especially these days! I am planning to grow more vegetables, this year, to try and offset the cost of fresh produce. But, by the time you add the cost of water, fertilizer, and paying the gardener, it is cheaper to buy the produce! LOL.
