Another week is here! This week I went against my usual routine. (I really like routine, I’ve come to realize. I’m so boring!) My normal routine is to plan the menu Sunday night, then hit the grocery store early Monday mornings. Well…I went shopping today…and I planned the menu as I was going along in the store! Just call me crazy! I think I even came up with a decent looking menu! So here’s our plan off the top of my brain menu:
- Monday: Crock pot Sesame Chicken, rice, cauliflower and salad
- Tuesday: Beef Vegetable Soup (we still haven’t has this since the weather has been too nice for soup!)
- Wednesday: Pesto Pepperoni pizza
- Thursday: Spaghetti Pie (just like spaghetti with tomato meat sauce, but in a baking dish, covered with cheese and baked!)
- Friday: Perogies and Sausage, veggies or/and salad
So tell me, are you a routine kind of person like me?

Hi again! How was your last weekend of summer? You know, I really like fall, so I am anticipating it’s coming. But, I will sure miss the hot long days! I think my menu planning is gearing up for the change in season as well. I’ve got a lot of heat the oven type recipes! Here goes another week:
There you go! I’m going to try my best to stick to the plan! Again, if you would like more dinner ideas visit

Well hello there! How was your week? The only thing I’ll say about our week is, you don’t know how hard it is to cook with only a bar sized fridge! Forget fresh veggies, we we’re eating frozen corn most of the week because nothing would fit in the little fridge. Luckily our fridge is going to be repaired or replaced on Tuesday…only one more day! As it turns out though, after our fridge caught fire, we researched and found that our particular model had been a part of a major recall back in April. The good news about this is the fact that we get it fixed or replaced for free! (I sure hope it will be replaced as I’ll have a hard time trusting that fridge again!) Going along mostly with what’s in our freezer or pantry, here’s our menu for the week:
Monday: Shepard’s Pie
Tuesday: Baked Lemon pasta with chicken, salad
Wednesday: Beef Vegetable soup
Thursday: Chicken Quesadillas
Friday: Out? Or something super simple.

Well, hello! Another new week huh? We had a pretty exciting Saturday afternoon, our fridge decided to catch on fire! All the wires are toast and since it’s a long weekend, we have to wait until Tuesday to see if it’s fixable or not. It’s a darn good thing we save for things like this! And it’s also a darn good thing we decided to hold off on some weekend plans due to the rainy weather. If we had gone ahead with the plans we would not have been home to catch the fire and I don’t really want to think about what could have happened! Needless to say, we are without a fridge for the time being. I guess we’ll be living off stuff I have stored away in our deep freezer.
Monday: Maybe eat out or something super simple
Tuesday:
BBQ Beef in the crock pot, veggies
Thursday: Frozen pizza
Friday: Tacos (didn’t have last week)
There you have it! I sure hope I can pull this off without a fridge! If you would like more menu inspiration visit

Hello again! I think the summer heat has gotten to me because I sure don’t feel like cooking these days! But I must… If only we could shut our eating systems down for days like these!
Last week’s menu highlight was the BBQ Pork Satay, it was delicious and cooked to perfection by my husband! (I
used this recipe since I couldn’t find the one I thought I had on hand.)
Now, here’s this week’s menu:
Tuesday: Teriyaki & Ginger Pork Chops (in the crockpot), corn on the cob, salad
Wednesday: leftovers or something very easy
Thursday:
Meatballs (sweet & sour?), rice, roasted potatoes
There you have it! We’ll see how closely I follow it. At least everything is fairly easy to put together. As usual, if you would like some more menu ideas or recipes, visit
