Hello, hello! Here we are a couple of days into July already! I can hardly believe it!
This week, I thought I’d start something new by telling you all which was our favourite meal of the previous week. How does that sound? Okay, our favourite meal last week was the Sloppy Joe Calzone! Honestly, I was a bit leery to try it, but all the ingredients were ones we like. I so glad we tried it! Delicious!
This week I’m again trying a couple of new recipes out of my new Simple & Delicious magazine so hopefully we can come out with another winner!
Monday: Balsamic Chicken Salad
Tuesday: Chicken or Pork Satay, Salad, potatoes
Wednesday: Spaghetti Penne (we still haven’t had this!)
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: Pesto Turkey Layered Loaf (pretty much a sandwich)
I’m trying to keep things super simple this week as there are some family matters that are taking precedence over harder to prepare meals. What’s on your menu this week?

Hi again! My computer power cord is up and running again! My Dad came to my rescue and actually fixed the cord so I didn’t have to buy another one! That saved me at least 100 dollars. Last week I decided to write up this week’s menu because I get a bit tired of having to come up with something every week. I think I might start planning two weeks at a time from now on! But I’ll still be posting on a weekly basis.
I must say that the Meatball Souvlaki that we had last week was pretty darn delicious! It was even a hit at work when I took the leftovers for my lunch one day. Lets hope this week has something delicious!
Monday: Garden Chowder (the weather is supposed to be rainy)
Tuesday: Goulash
Wednesday: Pizza from the freezer
Thursday: BBQ Beef in Crock pot, potatoes, steamed veggies
Friday: Spaghetti using penne and chicken instead of ground beef

Well, I must say that last week’s menu didn’t really get done! We did manage to eat the chicken and broccoli pie and the pesto tortellini, but other than that, we didn’t eat anything else planned! One night we decided to grab a bite to eat because my husband wanted to catch the big hockey game and another night I was golfing!
I must say though, that not eating the majority of last weeks meals made it especially easy to plan this week’s menu! Here you go:
* Veggie Chicken Pitas
* Spaghetti using whole wheat Penne, salad (we got a nice big bag of organic salad greens for free at church yesterday!)
* Leftovers (I really need to start adding leftovers into the menu. I do take leftovers for lunch each day, but we still seem to have much left over!)
There you have it! I don’t anticipate having to buy much this week, just the basics! If you would like more menu inspiration visit

Here we are at yet another new week and month! Can anyone tell me where May went? I swear it just started! At least this past week we’ve had the start of our hot weather for the area. I managed to get a bit of a sunburn, oops! My vegetable garden (pots) are really enjoying the weather and have started to grow very nicely! I’m super excited to be able to actually eat something that I’ve grown! Soon enough, my menus will be including my own fresh vegetables. But for now, lets get on with this weeks menu:
Monday: Shepard’s Pie (didn’t make last week)
Tuesday: Grilled pork (or chicken) Satay, vegetable couscous salad, steamed broccoli?
Wednesday: Pesto Pepperoni Pita Pizzas
Thursday: Chicken and Broccoli quiche (didn’t make last week)
Friday: leftovers

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? It was absolutely beautiful here. I managed to sit outside most of the day and just soak up the warmth while I caught up on some magazine reading! Loved it.
This week, I’m determined to not buy much at the grocery store. Not much meaning some milk and lettuce! That’s it! All the meals I have planned are in our freezer or I already have the ingredients on hand. I really just want to use everything up. I’ve been feeling like I’ve been over shopping lately! I’m quite sure that I will only have to buy those two items this week!
So, here’s our eating from our freezer and pantry menu:
Monday: Lasagna (in the freezer)
Tuesday: Lemon Chicken with leftover roasted potatoes and carrots, Yorkshires
Wednesday: Samosas (in the freezer), salad
Thursday: Broccoli and Chicken quiche
Friday: Shepard’s Pie (I’ll freeze the leftovers)
There you go! I have all the meat on hand because I’ve been stocking up when there’s a sale and I’ve got vegetables coming out of my ears!

Hi Everyone! I’m back from my short bloggy vacation! I will admit it was nice not having to post anything for a couple of days but I’m sure glad to be back at it!
I still managed to make up our menu for the week over the weekend! I also was able to try my hand at container gardening. I planted some green beans, carrots, red and green peppers and a tomato plant! (I even did my flower pots!) I still need to get my seed potatoes started. (in a garbage can!) I’m excited to see my seeds and plants progress over the summer. I’ll be sure to give you all some updates!
Enough rambling, here’s our menu:
Monday: Sweet and Sour Meatballs, brown rice, and steamed broccoli and cauliflower
Tuesday: Greek Chicken, Greek salad, pitas with Tzaziki
Wednesday: Cheddar Broccoli soup
Thursday: Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Friday: Strawberry Crepes with whipping cream
Have you got a great recipe for crepes? I’d love to see it! If you would like more menu inspiration visit I’m an Organizing Junkie.
