The life and times of Libby Withnall

It’s funny I thought I did quite well with last weeks plan but looking back on it we only had one planned meal – homemade pizza. Oh, well. This week we had big organic delivery so I’m looking to use up lots of fruit and veg. We’re also going away on Thursday for Easter, so meals might change depending on what the Powells want to do.

MONDAY: Baked veggies, cauli & brocolli

TUESDAY: Vegetarian Chilli (made by Amy – new recipe)

WEDNESDAY: Crockpot Honey & orange tofu (leftover new recipe from last week)

THURSDAY:Pumpkin Cannelloni

FRIDAY: Pasta with cheese sauce

SATURDAY: TVP Tacos

SUNDAY: ???

MONDAY:???

Even though we are still on vacation we are leaving tomorrow so thought are starting to turn to home and what I need to do when we get back – grocery shoppingis  amongst those things to be tackled on Wednesday so I thought I’d take the opportunity to join in Menu Plan Monday again.

MONDAY: Takeaway – from the same noodle place we had the other night

TUESDAY: On the road somewhere (possibly here)

WEDNESDAY: Zucchini Slice (from freezer)

THURSDAY: Orange and Honey Tofu(new crockpot recipe)

FRIDAY: Veggie Curry with rice

SUNDAY: Homemade Pizza

Last weeks plan went pretty good. Amy made wedges (instead of potato skins) and they were SOOOO yummy. I also made zuchinni and corn fritters instead of zucchini slice. We didn’t end up going out on Friday night so had some Cheesy Potato Chowder, which we also had last night.

This week is a short one as we head for 10 nights on the Gold Coast on Saturday morning, and I’m trying to use up as much as possible from the fridge (and not do a grocery shop this week). We will have a kitchen and be having most of dinners in – but I won’t be planning in advance.

MONDAY: Cheesy Tomato Rice Bake (from packet mix)

TUESDAY: TVP Mini meatloaves & mashed potatoes (made by Amy

WEDNESDAY: Cheesy Cauliflower & veggie fingers (from freezer)

THURSDAY: Zucchini Slice (zucchini from our garden, eggs from our chickens)

FRIDAY: Leftovers or from freezer

Yes, I’m back with Menu Plan Monday. It’s been a while I know. With the kids on school holidays I just didn’t bother. I actually did a plan last week and managed to stick with it.

Wednesday: Falafel wraps

Thursday: Cherry Tomato & Feta Frittata

Friday: Homemade pizza

Saturday: Quesidillas with mushrooms, onion, refried beans and cheese

Sunday: Nothing – had late afternoon snack with friends watching a movie

And now for this week:

Monday: Mushroom Rissoto

Tuesday: Mashed Pototoes, veggies with cheese sauce

Wednesday: Microwave Corn Quiche

Thursday: TVP Taco Salad

Friday: Out (Last basketball game )

Saturday: Special Valentines Day dinner

Sunday: BBQ???

**** I believe some of my readers have been wondering about Muffin Tin Monday. I had hoped to start back with them again but our Monday afternoons are just CRAZY. I have 3 different things to take the girls to and from between 3.30 and 5.30pm. I’m hoping to still do something in the muffin tins during the week since the girls loved it but we’ll have to see.

Need to get some fresh produce used up so thought I’d better do a menu plan this week.

MONDAY: Takeway Chinese (Amy’s friend over and I know she eats this)

TUESDAY: Zucchini Slice (using first zucchinis from the garden)

WEDNESDAY: BBQ (friends over for NYE) – Organic Meat, potato salad, chinese noodle salad, some other dish

THURSDAY: Leftovers (friends over for lunch)

FRIDAY : Out for dinner before basketball

SATURDAY: From freezer (going out for lunch)

SUNDAY: Veggie bake????

All I can say is so much for using up fresh produce. Might have to make some hot lunches this week, but being school holidays that’s not likely to happen.

It was very hot here today so after walking home from school everyone was feeling rather warm. The kids quickly devoured the nice cool fruit before diving into the pool
