Excel at weekly meal planning!
For this week’s menu, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, and included one new recipe – Easy Canned Tuna Pasta. It looks quick and easy, and we’ll probably make it with fusilli – that’s Keith’s favourite type of pasta.
This quick and easy panko pork, with arugula apple salad on the side, is perfect for a weeknight supper!
This one-pot Chinese longevity soup is an easy recipe that only takes 25 minutes to make.
This was one of the first recipes that I posted on my old food blog, way back in July 2008. We’ve enjoyed this filling and tasty casserole many times, and the kids liked it too! Continue reading “Macaroni and Hamburger Casserole”
There’s another good week of weather ahead, for this final full week of summer. We might have a bit of rain today, but it’s mostly sunny after that!
For this week’s menu, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, and included one new recipe – Ginger Chicken Rice Bowl. Instead of chicken breast, I’ll use leftover cooked chicken – there’s usually some in our freezer.
This pork tenderloin recipe is easy to make, and we love the mustard glaze. You can marinate the meat the night before, then put it on the grill at supper time.
We enjoy quesadillas, and Keith used to make them in a frying pan, with butter on the outside of the tortillas. The quesadillas were delicious, but now we enjoy oven baked quesadillas instead. Continue reading “Oven Baked Quesadillas”
There’s a pretty good week of weather ahead, with a mix of sun and clouds, and temperatures in the low 20s. There might be some rain tomorrow, but we can find indoor things to do!
For this week’s menu, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, and 3 “almost-new” recipes – Ground Beef Soup, Turkey Lettuce Wraps, and Stir-Fried Shrimp
Our lives got much easier when we started making a weekly meal plan in Excel, way back in 2016. Instead of a daily struggle to think of something for supper, now I do the planning once a week.
During the week, we can always change our minds (and we often do!), but at least there’s a plan in place, for peace of mind.
Happy long weekend, if you’re celebrating Labour Day on Monday! The kids here go back to school on Tuesday, and they’ll have good weather for the first couple of days. The forecast for Wednesday is cool and rainy, so be prepared for that!
