Menu Plan Monday / Muffin Tin Monday

MPM christmas

You may have noticed I didn’t post a menu plan last week. I actually had fun just deciding meals on the day – based on what I had in the house that needed to be used up. But this weeks it’s back to planning.

MONDAY: Potato Gnocchi with Cheesy Sauce

TUESDAY: Pumpkin Lasagne

WEDNESDAY: Lentil Bolognase

THURSDAY: Tofu with Orange Sauce and Brown Rice

FRIDAY : Out – probably Noodle Box (wedding anniversary)

SATURDAY: Homemade Rice Paper Rolls (girls away)

SUNDAY : BBQ or from freezer

And now for muffin tin monday (visit Her Cup Overflowth to see more tins)

Muffin TIn Monday

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

Menu Plan Monday

Last weeks plan went well. The honey soy noodles with tofu were yummy. I was exhausted on Thursday night so we tvp taco wraps instead of the planned taco salad (even that was too hard). On Saturday night we had afternoon tea leftovers and last night Kevin & I made up a reciepe. We had bought a box of mangos on the way up to my Aunts so we diced up one with the tofu, added some hoisin sauce and cream and served on some brown rice. Very yummy.

MONDAY: Spinach (From garden) & Ricotta Quiche (new recipe)

TUESDAY: Rice Paper Rolls

WEDNESDAY: From freezer (on my own for dinner and girls & Kevin -taking photos- at dance rehearsal)

THURSDAY: Lentil Bolognase

FRIDAY: Vegetable Curry

SATURDAY: BBQ

SUNDAY: OUT (Girls dance concert day)

Menu Plan Monday

mpm

No, I didn’t miss last Monday I just never got around to posting it. In fact, I planned out the whole month ahead. Anyway, here’s the plan for this week. I’m also getting back to focusing on eating healthier foods as we’ve been a bit slack the last few weeks and my body is feeling the result of too much junk food.

MONDAY: Pasta with cheese sauce (okay not a real healthy choice but both girls have full-dress rehearsals for dancing this afternoon so it needs to be quick)

TUESDAY: Zucchini Slice (that’s better….)

WEDNESDAY: Honey Soy Noodles with Tofu (new recipe – been awhile since I’ve done one of those)

THURSDAY: Taco Pasta Salad

FRIDAY: Out

SATURDAY: From Freezer (having candle party in the afternoon)

SUNDAY: TVP Taco Wraps

NOTE: We won’t be doing Muffin Tin Monday this afternoon due to rehearsals. I think Amy is planning of having some homemade fruit loaf instead.

Muffin Tin Monday and Menu Plan Monday

Muffin Tin Monday for one

I actually forgot to photograph todays muffin tin but this is the one from last week. It was just for Amy as Christy was unwell. She had cheese, dip, carrot, crackers, a homemade cheese scroll and a piece of peppermint chocolate.

Last weeks menu plan went well. There was a hitch one night when I didn’t have any TVP left so instead of Tortilla Pie I made Sweet Potato Burritos. Oh, and I when I went to do the falafel (which hadn’t yet expired) they were mouldy. We had mexi-bean wraps instead. So I bit of improvising went on. Another easy week coming up.

MONDAY: (SO HOT!!!) Kids – toasted sandwiches, adults leftover frittata

TUESDAY: Fried Rice with tofu

WEDNESDAY: Corn Quiche

THURSDAY: Chili Con Carne with Organic Corn Chips

Chili con carne

FRIDAY: OUT (meeting Annie and her family in Sydney)

SATURDAY: Our Halloween Party

SUNDAY: I’m thinking leftover party food…..
