Tasty Tuesday

Hi!

It was a cold walk this morning! There was a risk of frost last night and the temp now is about 7C! I wore my long pants, jacket and gloves!  Then I got hot coming back so I had to take off the jacket and gloves!

Today I have a lunch date with HH after my shopping!

This week's meal plan is:

• Mon-Frozen Macaroni with tuna and pesto (HH was gone, I wasn't sure kids would like it, but they did!)
• Tues- Panfried Haddock, potatoes, broccoli\
• Wed- Stir-fried veggies, Fried rice, Frozen egg rolls
• Thurs- Homemade Hamburger Helper
• Fri- Pizza
• Sat- Lentil Tortillas
• Sun- Frittata with Blueberry Muffins

Last year's plan:

• Mon-  Haddock with potatoes
• Tues- Chickpea Curry Couscous
• Wed- Pimbap (not sure if this is Bibimbap?)
• Thurs- Pasta (meeting for me)
• Fri- Pizza
• Sat- Leftovers
• Sun- Tilapia, fried leftover potatoes, frozen corn (Hot day!)

This week's lunches:

• Mon- Lunchables (I know they're terrible, but once in a while they're ok, right? :-))
• Tues- DS- Cold Chicken Nuggets   DD- Cheese raviolis in thermos
• Wed- School Garlic Fingers
• Thurs- DS- Strawberry Miniwheats   DD- Cold Spinach Pizza
• Fri-  No School! so probably Sandwiches or tuna and crackers

Tasty Tuesday

Hi again! 

Last night I went to bed thinking, Aagghh!! I've got so much to do tomorrow!  I'm working on a project and I've got to run all these errands.  But then I realized that the project that has already been waiting over a year (!), can wait another day and all I really have to do is buy groceries!  So, that makes my day so much more leisurely!  

We had a nice dinner last night with the parents.  Mine are on their way home now.

This morning, DS had a nosebleed so he missed the bus.  I took him to school and realized it's hard for me to follow a routine if something gets out of whack.  I was thinking how I didn't want to take a walk after I got home.  Anyway, I still went walking and feel all the better for it! HaHa!

I brewed my coffee in the little one cup brewer I had bought for HH's office before they got a Keurig.  My dad had been using it and since I've only been brewing about a cup for me in the big coffee maker I decided to give it a try.  I used some Tassimo cups I'd bought for HH before I realized Kcups and Tassimo ones are different. I emptied the coffee out into the little filter and brewed away.  The coffee is weak, though, so tomorrow I'll try two!

So, here's the menu I'm just getting around to planning:

• Mon- Out- Chinese
• Tues- Chicken Nuggets, Rice, Veg
• Wed-  Hotdogs (HH gone, Kids and I to Back to School BBQ) Frozen Pizza- BBQ cancelled due to weather
• Thurs- Frozen 4 Cheese Pasta with spinach and tomato, garlic, pepper sauce
• Fri- Leftovers (just me at home for dinner)
• Sat- Pizza
• Sun- White Bean Cassoulet (Vegetarian Slow Cooker pg 102)

Since I do plan lunches for DS and DD, I thought I'd share them here.  Once a week they get to choose a lunch from school so I get a day off from lunch duty!

• Mon- DS- School Hamburger Macaroni (didn't order it)    DD- Bubble Pizza (didn't like it)
• Tues- DS- Bubble Pizza    DD- Cheese & Crackers
• Wed- DS-Leftover Chicken Nuggets   DD- Bagel and Cream Cheese
• Thurs- DS- School Sub   DD- Stawberry MiniWheats
• Fri-  DS- Strawberry MiniWheats     DD- School Pizza Hotdogs from School BBQ 

They also get white milk daily along with fruit and another snack, usually a cheese string or yogurt tube.  

I seem to have lost last year's dinner meal plan, but it was probably similar to this weeks!
