First normal week with school, after school dance etc, so another pretty easy menu plan. BTW the Chinese Style Fried Barley that I tried last week was a big success – soooo yummy!!! Oh, and I’m going to post some of the recipes over the next few days.

MONDAY : Sweet Potato Risotto

TUESDAY : Mini TVP Loaves with mashed potato (new recipe)

WEDNESDAY : Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce

THURSDAY : Mandarin Soy Fillets with boiled rice

FRIDAY : Brown Rice Salad

SATURDAY : Leftovers or Bean Nachos

SUNDAY : BBQ Tofu and Veggie Skewers

Clean Eating

While sitting at the computer and eating my very yummy salad for lunch I stumbled across a new magazine called ” CleaningEating”. My links aren’t working but you can find it at http://www.cleaneatingmag.com . It looks great and I can’t wait for my first issue to arrive. It was developed by the same people who publish Oxygen so it should be a good read.

Australia Day

We had a VERY quiet Australia Day this year. Usually we do lunch with Mum & Dad but they are off in their caravan to attend a wedding. Instead I went to the gym, did the groceries, tidied my desk,

Kevin added an extension to our chook mansion before going into work. They now have a nesting box and some of the chooks have already used it (so Kevin is feeling pretty pleased with himself), and the girls will now be able to collect the eggs.

Amy decided she wanted to learn to iron so she had her first lessons. She did great, ironing all her and Christy’s clothes.

Our only bit of celebration happened at dinner when we had a BBQ with damper and lamingtons.

So a lazy but rather satisfying day. We ended the day watching The Three Musketeers – but somehow we just ended up watching the second half – suprisingly it still make sense and we didn’t realize until the credits started rolling after just 45mins :-). We then watched the first half of Harry Potter VI and will finish watching tomorrow night.
