I sometimes feel that I tend to eat the same things, but, meal planning helps with making sure there's variety. I sometimes look over older meal plans to see if there's something I haven't had, recently. <br />The important thing is to have something to eat, even if it is the same thing several days in a row or from week to week. I'm sure you'll be able to have some delicious meals in the coming week and enjoy celebrating your grandson's birthday meal with him!

Just waiting for the rice to finish cooking to have dinner! :) I'm glad I had meal planned and had taken out the shrimp to thaw and knew just what I was going to cook! I like having things in the freezer that are already cooked for days like today. Sounds like you are doing well with using what you have in the freezer and supplementing it with other items. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-48443361857769416912022-07-25T14:54:13.161-07:002022-07-25T14:54:13.161-07:00That pizza salad and cake sure look good, my mouth...That pizza salad and cake sure look good, my mouth is watering! You always seem to have a good variety of food, Bless, I sometimes feel stuck in a rut with my meals. I haven't written a meal plan this week and I know we are eating out on Friday for our Grandson's birthday treat. It will all be a bit slapdash, I'm afraid.

I planned my meals based on what I have on hand because I am determined not to go grocery shopping again until August, having already dipped into August's grocery budget to stock up! (I'm not even counting what I spent at the Sri Lankan store!)<br />I think you did your meal planning when you decided which spice kits to order!

I have all the ingredients in stock so if will be a nice easy week with plenty of leftovers. Lunches will come from the freezer and breakfasts will either be fruit or eggs.
