Peach Cobbler

These were my meal plan options for October Week 5:

Brunches:  Cold cuts sandwiches; Bagels, Cereal and milk;  milkrice with fish curry and seeni sambol (on Saturday, November 1); leftovers from dinners; uppuma; pancakes

Dinners:  Rice and beef curry with green beans, Stringhoppers and/or rice with fish curry and seeni sambol; Ham and split pea soup; breakfast for dinner (scrambled eggs, bacon, toast); Baked yams; parathas and curries; Leftovers/Planned-overs 

Snacks/Desserts:  Fruit; crackers; granola bars; cereal and milk; Hot Cheetos; bread pudding?  Peach cobbler

And here's how it worked out:

Monday:

I didn't necessarily keep to the meal plan options I had listed, but, I didn't go too far off the plan either, so, I am happy.

Or something else!

As always, I am grateful for having access to many different foods and for having sufficient to eat,
