The theme for this weeks Muffin Tin Monday was Fruits & Veggies, Dips and Spreads. Was easy for me as we usually have afternoon tea along these lines anyway, but this week I did make a chocolate dip with fruit. I should have taken an after photo. All that was left was a couple of carrot sticks, some strawberries (which were from our garden) and some kiwi fruit. Make sure you visit this weeks host Just for Fun to see more great MTM ideas. She even has a side bar to show us the upcoming themes.
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)

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.
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
FRIDAY: OUT (meeting Annie and her family in Sydney)
SATURDAY: Our Halloween Party
SUNDAY: I’m thinking leftover party food…..
