Those are my meal plan options for this week, based on what I have in the fridge, freezer, and pantry. I am going to try and keep to the plan, but, there's always a chance that I might decide to have something different!
Are you making a meal plan for the last week in May?
Nice menus.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. :)
DeleteSome lovely ideas, Bless.
ReplyDeleteI'm off plan this week, and I think I'll be trying some different meals. Xx
Thank you, Jules.
DeleteTrying out some different meals sounds like a plan to me! :)
Those sound amazing meals and you make great use of leftovers. It's like doing the work once and eating twice.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lyssa. I like leftovers and I purposely cook enough for at least a couple of meals when I make something for dinner. :)
DeleteAs usual, no meal plan here except to use up the spinach and radishes from the garden.
ReplyDeleteOoh, fresh produce from the garden! How lovely! Enjoy the spinach and the radishes.
DeleteComing home to an empty fridge after two weeks away, I hastened to the store! Our neighbours will bring over my order of eggs this afternoon. I'm set for a few days, we had pork chops yesterday and after being used to hotel buffet breakfasts, I decided to make sardines on toast this morning. We had been eating large breakfasts, walking miles sightseeing and then having a large meal later. Two meals seemed to work well. Now it is back to something more modest on a 3 meal scale. There are chicken breasts in the fridge to be cooked, and some frozen shrimp in the freezer and salad ingredients in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, Bushlady. An empty fridge can be a bit daunting. I'm glad you were able to go to the store and get things you needed for at least a few days. Sardines on toast is a favorite item at our house, too.
DeleteI love having leftovers but TheHub doesn't. Of course he is not the one cooking and doesn't see the advantage to cook once eat twice.
ReplyDeleteMy meal plans for the little while is to use the foods I have stored either in thew freezer or pantry.
I'm sorry your husband doesn't like leftovers. I guess you will have to continue doing what you already do - cook what can be cooked ahead and frozen and then, use those items to put together different meals. Have fun using up what you have stored. Maybe you can do a pantry challenge in June. :)
DeleteAs always a nice variety of food offered up at Chez Bless.
ReplyDeleteLeftovers are a gift we give ourselves in my book.
My husband and I are both keen on them. Part of that is because we treat it like a game not to waste food and the other part is I like not cooking from the beginning everyday. lol
Thank you, Debra. It works well when both spouses are okay with leftovers. Certainly helps the one who does the majority of the cooking, I would say. :)
