Having a hard time coming up with ideas for meals this week. We have a busy week ahead so needless to say we should have planned better.
Yesterday we went out and bought a new dishwasher that will be delivered tonight and picked up a new microwave too. Both of our current ones are about to bite the dust so it was time. The next big kitchen purchase has to be a fridge. Lots more saving to do after our summer vacation!
Today I celebrate my birthday! The big 41. I don’t mind getting older, life just gets better and better.
We’ll be going out with friends on Saturday to celebrate. Have you ever been to Seasons 52? I have always wanted to go, so what better time to do it.
This weeks menu will be some of my favorites and even some new recipes I want to try. We will do our best to eat at home every night!
Going to try and use everything we have at home and not do any grocery store stops this week. Picked up a few things at Walmart this weekend like tomatoes and spinach but going to dig in and use what we have at home.
We’ll keep a few things we usually have on the menu plan like breakfast for dinner, veggie burgers and pizza. Here’s the tentative plan.
This week I’m struggling with the menu so it might just change as the week goes on. It’s going to be a really busy week.
I have to tell you though the lentil loaf with cauliflower mashed ‘potatoes’ that was on the menu last week turned out AWESOME! Kev loved it and we had leftovers this weekend and it was just as good.
Had a hard time coming up with all the meal plans this week. It’s going to be a busy week so I kept it pretty simple!
Hopefully the lentil loaf will be simple. I really want to make it and have it turn out good.
Oh and last week hubby’s favorite meal, that he can’t stop talking about was the Sweet Potato Quinoa Black Bean Burgers with Cranberries that I made. So.so.good.
This week is going to be crazy busy with client work and our kitten has his last surgery on Tuesday. Who knows what the week will bring but here are the menu plans I have set up as of right now.
I do have a goal for May to not have any ‘naughty’ desserts after dinner. By naughty I mean things like ice cream, cookies, etc. There might be homemade goodies but I’m going to try for nothing processed. It’s a big change but something I need to work on.
Goal is to make some fruity ‘ice cream’, have Greek yogurt/cereal mix, homemade granola bars and things like that. I’ll have a blog post full of healthy dessert ideas that a lot of my online friends have shared with me this weekend.
