Well that worked out pretty well, I think. I stayed on plan for most of the week except when I didn't! LOL.
On to this week! This week's meal plan might change quite a bit because my daughter will be visiting during the latter half of the week and we will probably get some food to go to celebrate a belated Mother's Day.
Brunches: Tuna salad sandwiches; Waffles (leftovers); Scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast or fried potatoes; Ham sandwiches; French toast; milk and cereal; dinner leftovers; maybe pastries if we get some
Dinners: Rice and shrimp curry (leftovers); Rice and chicken curry with dhal and vegetables; Ham with mashed potatoes and broccoli; Pork chops with rice and green beans; Leftovers.
Snacks and Desserts: Fresh fruit, yogurt, granola bars, bread pudding, maybe a dessert from the bakery
I will need to buy chicken to make the chicken curry and the pork chops, along with a few fruits and vegetables. I am planning to go grocery shopping on Tuesday (when the pork chops will be on sale).
How about you? Are you making a meal plan this week?
Per usual, no formal meal plan here, but I will do a cooking day with my son. Maybe meatloaf.
ReplyDeleteI really like your cooking days with your son and meatloaf sounds good. I haven't made meatloaf in a long time; should rectify that!
DeleteYour meals all look delicious, Bless. Especially the salmon - I need to put some on my list for next week :)
ReplyDeleteI can't think of a nicer reason for your meal plan to change. Enjoy the time with your daughter. Xx
Thank you, Jules. Salmon is a treat, these days, because it is so expensive, but, it is a delicious fish, isn't it?
DeleteI went over the meal plan with my daughter and she said it sounded good. She's looking forward to my chicken curry because she says hers never turn out tasting like mine. :)
I don't do meal planning. Each day I just think about what I'm hungry for, or what's been in the freezer the longest, or the veggies in the fridge that need fixed before they go over. I don't eat breakfast, but like you do 2 meals daily. For me it's lunch and dinner, and no breakfast. I also rarely do snacks unless I've been busy and missed lunch and am to hungry to wait til dinner. All you meals look yummy. Popped in from a mutual friends blog. It's always fun to meet new bloggers.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, I know of a few other bloggers who do the same as you and decide what to have on a day to day basis and I've done the same from time to time. Whatever works for us is best, isn't it? I think I should call my first meal of the day, lunch, because I usually have it around noon or later! I am trying not to snack too much, but, I'd rather snack than eat a proper meal!
DeletePopped back to say, I just realized, you're on my blog list...so not a new blogger. Sorry I didn't remember your name when I spotted it on a mutual friends blog.
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologize. It's nice to know that you decided to visit my blog even when you thought that it was a new blog. :)
DeleteYou had a nice variety of very tasty sounding food.
ReplyDeleteSo you just use the cranberry sauce directly from the can for your waffles? Do you doctor it at all?
Thank you, Debra.
DeleteNo, not canned cranberry sauce! My own home made from a package of cranberries, leftover from Thanksgiving! I kept the extra sauce in a canning jar in the fridge; I'm almost done with the jar.
Those photos make me think of an on-line menu - too bad you don't deliver!
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, I take the pictures so I can remember what I ate! Otherwise, unless I write it down somewhere, I forget! Sorry, no deliveries, but, take out is possible, or, dine al fresco in the back patio like M does. :D
DeleteYou make the most amazing meals!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lyssa. :)
DeleteYour meals are so interesting and fun.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. :)
