It’s been four full weeks since I started meal planning and I have to say, I like it. Though I don’t always stick to the plan, I have an idea of what we can eat throughout the week (what’s in the house), how much time I have to make a meal (or not). I love not having to come up with a meal last-minute.
This is what last week looked like:
Sunday: Vegan Sheppard’s Pie. It was really good but I realised it’s not my favourite meal.
Monday: Meatless Monday leftovers: Vegan Sheppard’s Pie or All Things Red Soup. Successful night 🙂
Tuesday: Sweet Chili. Lilly and I made it together in the morning and put it in the slow cooker. I love slow cookers.
Wednesday: Salmon, baked sweet potato and veggies. Didn’t happen….we ordered out Fish n’ Chips. Best decision ever.
Thursday: Mini Pizzas. Lilly and I made mini pizzas … Hilary had her first “pizza”. She thought it was pretty good and then decided she didn’t want anymore.
Mommy’s pizza’s, Big L’s pizzas (right) and Little H’s toast pizza (left)…missing Daddy’s vegan pizza.
Friday: Vegan Waffles. I totally forgot this was on the menu, ha! I made the salmon, baked sweet potato and veggies.
Saturday: Hilary’s Birthday PARTY!!! We basically ate from 3:30 – 5:45 the following food: cheese, crackers, veggies with dip, fruit, pb & j roll ups…a little cake too 🙂
A pretty successful week! I’m planning today for the upcoming week and things are looking like it might be an easy food week!
Any good eats this last week or weekend?
Kid birthday parties: morning or afternoon?
Anyone start their Christmas/Holiday baking?
We had some friends over for late lunch/early dinner today. I made pork belly. It was really, really good. I can hardly move now though…
It’s always great having friends over for dinner 🙂
Go for a nap, relax and put your feet up.
I am doing just that! I love cooking for people but afterwards I always feel a bit drained.
Those pizzas look goooood! I haven’t started holiday baking yet, but I’ve definitely been doing research about what I want to make 🙂
I haven’t started holiday baking either….I need another week to even think about Christmas 🙂
Oh I know, everything is coming so quickly it seems like!
