I am grateful for:
- The availability of food
- Whatever homegrown produce I am able to harvest from my garden
- Variety in my diet (although, it might look like I'm always making curries)
- Whatever homegrown produce I am able to harvest from my garden

- Being able to cook/having the facilities needed to cook
Are you making a meal plan this week? What's on your meal plan for this week? If you are in the U.S., are you planning a special celebratory meal for the 4th of July?
You do such a wonderful job with this. You really inspire me to keep going with it.
ReplyDeleteI am doing meal planning - mostly from the freezer, but I only have three nights to plan for as we are off for the weekend.
Thank you, Sharon. You are doing well, planning from the freezer. You can do this! A tray bake one night, pasta one night, and stew or something on the 3rd night and then, you are off to enjoy the weekend away!
DeleteYour meals all look wonderful and those sausages look so much better than the breakfast sausages I buy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bushlady. I buy Farmer John's sausage links (you'll see a picture of the package in the previous grocery post and a description of it in the receipt); 8 oz. package (contains 8 links), original or maple flavored. I like this brand of sausage links and buy them whenever they go on sale. :)
DeleteYou have some delicious meal ideas there, Bless. And you always enjoy a good variety of foods.
ReplyDeleteI have fallen into a habit of eating the same meals on repeat, which is something I need to address. Xx
Thank you, Jules. I try to have a variety of foods, but, I'm making a lot of curries because that's what my daughter prefers. It's okay to have the same tried and true meals on repeat, especially when one is not feeling well or lacking the time, energy, or inclination to try a variety of recipes.
