So…last week’s menu kinda didn’t go as planned. The only thing that got made was the Chicken pot pie. We ended up being at a BBQ one night because my husband had a couple of relatives in town. Then we ate leftovers. And Pizza. And Smoothies. It was a very low key week you could say!
Since most of the menu didn’t get made, I still have all the ingredients to make those meals this week. Making grocery shopping pretty much unnecessary! I think I’ll only have to pick up some milk, fruit and dental floss. (No…not to eat sillies…!)
Here goes the (repetitive) menu:
Monday: I’m on my own so I may invite myself over to my Mom & Dad’s 🙂
Tuesday: Crockpot Sesame Chicken (recipe to come), steamed veggies, rice
Wednesday: I don’t know yet! Something easy due to time constraints.
Thursday: Beef Hashay, served over mashed potatoes and carrots (recipe to come)
Friday: out to eat
So tell us, what will you be eating this week? Leave your menu in the comments!

The weather this week, is looking to be a bit dreary, so I’m going to make some “comfort” foods that will hopefully satisfy us! Do you find that you cook according to the weather?
Here’s what I’ve got in mind for the week:
- Chicken Pot Pie (in the freezer, and a friend made it for us)
- Hashay (beef & gravy served over mashed potatoes and carrots)
- Sesame Chicken (recipe coming), roasted potatoes, steamed veggies
- Potluck, I’ll be bringing a potato salad
- Out to eat
There, I think that should do it! What will you be eating this week? Leave your menu in the comments!

Time for another menu! At least until the end of June, we’ll be having quite a few really simple meals because my husband is playing soccer three nights a week. His games start quite early too, so dinners need to be quick to make and quick to eat! I’d love to hear your suggestions for meals during times like this!
Here’s what I’ve got in mind for dinners this week:
- Bean dip (refried beans, salsa, cream cheese and cheddar cheese), fruit smoothie
- Tortellini (using a coupon for a free package!) with Rose sauce, salad
- Chicken Tacos
- Hashay (beef cooked to death in gravy served over mashed potatoes and carrots, a childhood favourite!)
- Lasagna (in the freezer)
What’s will you be eating this week? Leave your menu in the comments! 🙂

I thought it was high time I started getting back into menu planning after a bit of a hiatus. We’ve been eating through our freezer meals and have been fed very well by family members! I’m feeling well enough, after the arrival of our little girl, to get some more interesting meals on the dinner table!
Here’s what I have in mind:
I’d also like to try making these chewy granola bars for some easy snacking.
Do you find, after taking a break from menu planning, that you’re more inspired and excited to actually cook? I’m finding that to be the case!

Mar 22 | Meal Planning, Recipes
When I was planning my freezer cooking meals, I loved finding lists on other websites of what others have made for the freezer with success.
So, I thought I’d share my own list of everything that I made! The list includes completed meals, meal starters and snacks.
What are you favourite foods to freeze?

Hmmm, will this be the last week before baby’s arrival where I plan a full menu for a while? I’ve been busy stocking the freezer and I think we’ll have a pretty good selection of meals to choose from! (I’ll be posting the list of everything I created later this week)
Here’s what I have in mind for dinners this week:
