June Meal Plans - Week 2 Review and Week 3 Plan

Wednesday Brunch: Peaches and Yogurt

This was the meal plan for June Week 2:

Brunches:  Rice, leftover sausage stir fry, dhal, and mallung (daughter, on Monday); rice, beef curry, dhal, and mallung (me, on Monday); yogurt with treacle and cashews; cereal with milk; peanut butter toast; French toast, scrambled eggs and toast

Dinners:  Bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and cucumber slices (Monday); pepper steak with mixed vegetables (Tuesday); rice, beef curry, lentils, and mallung; leftover lasagna and salad; leftovers

Snacks/Desserts: Fresh fruit, the last of the peach cobbler, Cheetos, crackers and peanut butter, granola bars, yogurt

And here's how it worked out:

Monday:
Brunch - Rice, beef curry, dhal, mallung
Dinner - Bacon cheeseburger, sweet potato fries, cucumber slices, ketchup
Snacks/desserts - Fresh peaches; the last of the peach cobbler

Monday Dinner: Bacon Cheeseburger

Snacks/Dessert - Fresh peaches, fruit & grains cereal bar

Sunday:

I think that worked out well enough.  I finished some leftovers (there are more leftovers in the fridge), cooked a few easy to prepare items to go with leftovers, etc.


On to June Week 3 meal plans.  Except, this week, I don't feel like meal planning!  It's going to be a week of fruits and salads, leftovers, and breakfast for dinner, I think, with maybe a couple of frozen hamburger patties to help round things out.

I do want to go grocery shopping for a couple of items that are on sale and maybe some bread rolls as I am out of bread.  I am also expecting a visit from one of my long-time friends whom I have not seen in at least 20 years, on Saturday afternoon, so I want to buy or prepare some tea time snacks to have with her.  

But, here are the meal options for this week, based on what I have on hand and how much I feel like cooking!

Brunches: Fresh fruit with or without yogurt, salads, leftover French toast and bacon, muffins if I bake some, peanut butter and crackers

Dinners: Leftover pasta with vegetables and ham; Leftover pasta with hamburger patty;  Hamburger patty with homemade fries and salad; tuna salad sandwich (if I buy bread rolls) or tuna salad and crackers (if I don't buy bread rolls); scrambled eggs, bacon, and fried potatoes (breakfast for dinner); chicken curry and rice with vegetables if I feel ambitious!

Snacks/Desserts: Fresh fruit, cashews, fruit and grain cereal bars, muffins or fruit bread (again, if I bake some).  

How about you?  Are you doing a meal plan this week?  What do you do if you don't feel like meal planning or cooking?  Do you eat out or order food to go?

  2. I thought about your meals as we have been eating a lot of curries the last couple of days since my sons brought Indian food for Father's Day per my husband's request. I know you eat many other things besides curries, but they feature more in your menus than they do in mine. :)

    1. I do eat a lot of curries, don't I? Did you like the Indian food? Was it too spicy for you?

  3. I think our late friend Honor Min would approve of the vegetables in the photos!
    DH had decided that he wasn't keen on having our leftover chicken drumsticks, so I took the meat off them and made chicken salad sandwiches for lunch, and we both enjoyed them.

    1. Knowing Honor Min, she would have said not enough vegetables! LOL. She was such a caring soul.
      Ooh, the chicken salad sandwiches sound good. In fact, I was thinking of making some chicken salad to have with mini croissants when my friend comes to visit.

  4. My friend was eating peaches at work today. I'm going to have to get some myself, the next time I'm at the market. They look so delicious.
    I'm back on plan this week, although I only meal planned for half the week, so I'll need to go shopping again tomorrow evening. Still, it's much better than nothing. Xx

    1. I do hope you'll be able to buy some peaches to enjoy, Jules.
      Half a plan is better than no plan. Often, I am ready to change my meal plan, mid-week, myself! :D
