Menu Plan Monday

Posted on April 27, 2009October 10, 2026 by Libby Withnall

Last weeks plan went pretty well. We LOVED the quesidillas (Amy even made them again the next morning for her breakfast), missed out on pumpkin lasagne (Amy was away at a sleepover), thought the stir-fry was just okay (dogs got the leftovers).

School starts back on Wednesday so we’ll be back into our normal routine.

MONDAY: Leftover Mexibake from Sat. night

TUESDAY: Amy’s making a special dinner – I think I heard mention of spring rolls.

WEDNESDAY: From freezer

THURSDAY: Pumpkin Lasagne

FRIDAY: ????

SATURDAY: Home-made pizza

SUNDAY: Leftovers

Coming later… Muffin Tin Monday

Menu Plan Monday

Posted on April 20, 2009October 10, 2026 by Libby Withnall

I did a bit of free-style menu planning last week – meaning that I didn’t have one. We ate from the freezer, had some easy meals like nachos and had takeaway noodles – which fed us for 3+ meals each. Time to get back to this week. I also want to get better at trying new recipes as I become a bit slack of late. The goal is 1-2 new recipes each week.

MONDAY: Homemade pizza on pita bread (Amy has friend for sleepover)

TUESDAY: Pumpkin Lasange (Amy to make

WEDNESDAY: Black bean, zucchini & tomato quesadillas (new recipe)

THURSDAY: Speedy TVP & Noodle Stirfry (new recipe)

FRIDAY: Sweet Bean Burritos

SATURDAY: Friends for dinner – not sure of menu yet

SUNDAY: Leftovers or Cheese on Toast

Burrill Lake – Day 4

Posted on April 12, 2009October 10, 2026 by Libby Withnall

Happy Easter!!

Amy, Kevin & I awoke about 6am. I got a cup of tea and snuggled back in bed with the laptop until Christy woke. Then it was time to check out what the Easter bunny had bought. The girls had left a card and there was a thankyou letter, some PJs and a chocolate bunny.

After sampling some of the chocolate, we went to visit the Powell. We gave them this basket filled with eggs, and chickens for the girls.

There was also a visit by the Easter bunny…

Breakfast today was hot cross buns, and Kevin made a trip to the local McDonalds to get some “real” coffee for him and Noel. Since was another beautiful day we decided to take the kids to the beach for a few hours. We hung out here for a bit and Kevin dragged the girls around in the tube.

Then headed over to the surf. It was cold but lots of fun.

After some lunch Kevin & Noel took Amy and Sarah fishing on the boat (they also had a swim). Leanne & I took the younger girls to the pool, then spent some time reading (and drinking more tea).

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:???
