Menu Plan for the Week of October 31 – November 4, 2011

Oct 31 | Meal Planning

Happy Halloween!  Our only Halloween activity is to go watch some fireworks at a local beach put on by the firemen! (with hot chocolate of course)

Can you believe it’s almost November already?  This baby is going to be here before I know it!  And I’ve got so much to do!  (Including some freezer filling, which I’ll be posting about in the coming months)

Here’s what I have in mind for dinners this week:

I’d also like to make a pot of potato soup for work lunches and some muffins for easy snacking!  (any great recipes to share?)

Menu Plan for the Week of October 24, 2011

Oct 24 | Meal Planning

Last week, I had the best week for dinners!  I didn’t have to cook once!  My wonderful sister in law and niece were in town so somehow, we managed not to have to worry about dinners.  One day was her birthday, so we headed to a local restaurant for her free birthday meal, ordered pizza another night, had turkey (belated Thanksgiving) dinner another, I had dinner (free!) at our golf staff tourney on Friday and hubby cooked another!  Spoiled we were.

I did make a menu plan though just in case, so I’ll be using it this week instead!

  • Chili (I’ll post the recipe soon!)
  • Beef Stew in the crockpot
  • Chicken Stirfry over brown rice
  • Pesto Chicken rollups, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies
  • out for dinner

What’s on your menu this week?

Menu Plan for the Week of October 3, 2011

Oct 3 | Meal Planning

I’m really enjoying the change in seasons since I feel like I’ve got so many more meal options now that I can use the oven!  I’m excited to start up some real baking too!  Apple crisp, plum cake…mmm 🙂

Fall also means it’s soup season for me!  I LOVE soup!  I made a curried butternut squash soup last week that I thoroughly enjoyed, (Hubby isn’t a fan of squash) so I might make it again this week for work lunches.

I’m wondering, what’s your favourite(s) fall meal to make?

Here’s what I’ve got in mind for our dinners this week:

Menu Plan for the Week of September 19

Sep 19 | Meal Planning

I’ve got a hankering for some cupcakes with cream cheese icing…but I’ll probably end up making banana muffins and peanut butter cookies (for husband…okay…and me!) instead!

I guess though, we need actual proper food for dinner this week !  Here’s what I’ve got in mind:

I think I’d also like to make a pot of soup (maybe Hamburger Vegetable Soup) for lunch on the weekend and for the freezer (makes for easy work lunches in the Fall).  Have you got a great soup recipe to share?

Menu for the Week of August 22, 2011

Aug 22 | Meal Planning

I’ve been feeling completely uninspired the last couple of weeks when it comes to menu planning!  I’ve been feeling exhausted (and life has been busy!) so we’ve been munching on things we’ve found in the freezer and cupboards.  Totally not stellar nutrition!

But, I feel as though I have a bit more inspiration this week and I’m forcing myself to get over how tired work at the golf course and life are making me feel!  Just so we can eat more healthfully! 🙂

Here’s what I’ve got in mind for the week:

Monday:  Dinner at my parents since we missed Sunday’s dinner (a weekly thing that we love!)
Tuesday:  Oriental Beef in the slow cooker (will post the recipe later), baby potatoes, salad
Wednesday:  I think I’m on my own as hubby has another out of town soccer game.  I’ll probably make a huge Greek salad.
Thursday:  Chicken Stirfry over brown rice
Friday:  Possibly out to eat or Waffles for dinner
Saturday:  Black Bean & Salsa Burritos
Sunday:  My parents are out of town so I’ll make a meat & potato kind of meal that Jesse will enjoy.

What will you be dining on this week?
