Moving forward, here's are the meal plan options for the last week in October:
Brunches: Scrambled eggs and toast or fried potatoes; Waffles, Hot pockets; Boiled mung beans, milkrice (on Sunday, November 1st); Fried rice; leftovers

Snacks/Desserts: Fresh fruit; Yogurt; Ice cream; Chips, crackers, popcorn, cookies, etc.
At least, that's the plan. Unless I go off plan and make something different.
As always, I am grateful for:
- Having enough to eat
- Being able to have a variety of meals

Are you making a meal plan this week?
Per usual, I have no meal plans. We have family visiting this week and our schedule, including meals, has been all over the place. I admire your discipline in making a plan every week and trying to stick to it.
ReplyDeleteFamily visiting is a good reason for not having a fixed schedule or a meal plan. Enjoy their visit. :)
DeleteThank you; all I do is list some meals I think I'd like to eat and that are possible to make from what I have on hand at the beginning of the week. Sometimes, I stick to it. Sometimes, I make something different. :)
Your meals look so delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. :)
DeleteNow I know what Japanese raisin buns look like - I think I would like them. Our family visit takeout on Saturday was quite a variety, I should have taken photos as we each had a different order.
ReplyDeleteThese ones looked like little knots, didn't they? I think you'd like them. I'm sure there would have been a nice assortment of food at your Saturday takeout meal. :)
DeleteI usually do because I shop from my plan after checking pantry and fridge.
ReplyDeleteChecking the pantry and fridge is important when meal planning, isn't it? We went a bit off plan, last night, and had something I had listed as "brunch" (hot pockets) for dinner! But, that's okay, too. :)
DeleteYour meals look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jean. :)
DeleteSome lovely meals again
ReplyDeleteI've done well with the meal planning this week. I'm quite pleased.
Thank you, Sharon. Well done with the meal planning! I'm so happy for you. :)
