Excel at weekly meal planning!
It’s the last week of school’s summer vacation, and there’s a good chance of rain for three days. I hope everyone has a backup plan for indoor activities, if needed!
For this week’s menu, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, and included two new recipes – Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup, and Creamy Salmon Penne.
We’ll have Keith’s meat loaf Monday and Tuesday. Or, we could switch another meal into the Tuesday slot, and have the meatloaf leftovers on Wednesday.
We’ve had this roasted salmon recipe many times, and it’s always delicious. Quick and easy to make, this salmon dish is perfect for a relaxing supper on a Saturday night.
Cook gnocchi and kale, make a cheese sauce, then combine and bake. You can assemble this delicious casserole ahead of time, then pop it into the oven for supper!
This delicious and cheesy Mexican beef and rice skillet is one of our favourite winter suppers. It’s easy to prepare, then relax while it cooks for 25 minutes. It warms us up on a cold evening, and you get great flavours, with very little work. Continue reading “Mexican Beef and Rice Skillet”
This lamb chop recipe is easy, and delicious, and it looks fancy! Try it for a special occasion, or for a relaxing weekend supper for two.
It’ll be hot this weekend, and then cooler for the upcoming week. And Monday looks like perfect weather – sunny, and 23°C.
If you’re in the Toronto area, the CNE opened on Friday, and runs until labour Day (Sept 1st). This is the annual sign, for parents and kids, that there are only 2 weeks of school’s summer vacation left! That’s good news for some people, and sad news for others.
One day, way back in January 2012, we needed a break from our regular meals. While flipping through a Real Simple magazine, I found this recipe for Chicken Tikka Masala, and Keith agreed to make it. Continue reading “Slow Cooker Chicken Tikka Masala”
This lamb and orzo dish is quick and easy to make, all in one stovetop skillet!.
And if you don’t like lamb, you could make this with ground beef. Continue reading “One-Pot Greek Lamb and Orzo For 2”
I’ve been making these banana streusel muffins since 2008, when my Mom gave me her recipe.
The muffins are good for breakfast, or afternoon snack, or for a sweet ending to your supper. Use a plate though — they’re very crumbly!
One of our favourite winter meals is Veal Osso Buco. It simmers all day in the slow cooker, and fills the house with a wonderful aroma. It’s a delicious and filling meal, with a lovely tomato sauce. Continue reading “Slow Cooker Osso Buco”
