As always, I am grateful for the blessing of having plenty of food to eat, variety, and choices.
How about you? Did you make a meal plan for last week? If so, did you follow the plan? Are you making a meal plan for this week?
The food pictures all look good and are making me hungry! Yep, especially the brownies. Life is always better with brownies.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anne. Yes, life is better with brownies! :D
DeleteLots of good meals here. I've never heard of omelette curry. Sound interesting!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. Omelette curry is something my mother and grandmother used to make. You make an omelette (or a couple of them, depending on the number of people) and cut each one into 3 or 4 pieces. Then, make a curry gravy (or sauce) and add the pieces of omelettes into it.
DeleteSuch a lovely variety of food as always!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. Variety is the spice of life, they say. :)
DeleteI agree with Anne. Life is always better with brownies. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! They are a lovely treat and we've enjoyed them with a couple of friends who visited over the weekend. :)
DeleteI'm busy making a list of possible meals for October, and will be doing a fair bit of batch cooking to make it work, but I haven't assigned a particular meal to a particular day. Hoping it works out! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to have a selection of pre-cooked meals to choose from, isn't it? You can take out what you feel like eating on any given day, but, basically, if you make 4 servings of 7 different dishes, it'll see you through the majority of the month. :)
DeleteYour meals look delicious, dear friend! And I love brownies. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Brownies are an all-time favorite! :)
DeleteThose all look delicious! I've gotten out of baking recently, but might make some brownies at the weekend. X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. Summer is not a prime time for baking for us as it is too hot to have the oven on, but, we look forward to the cooler days of fall and winter to bake. Hope you enjoy your brownies if you decide to bake any over the weekend. :)
DeleteYou make such lovely meals! You eat such a wide variety, and I always enjoy reading about your meals and seeing the amazing pics. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lyssa. I often feel that my meals repeat themselves on a fairly regular basis, but, I don't mind that. These days, I prefer to cook something that is easy to prepare. :)
