Weekly Meal Plan 2025-07-26
It’s the last week in July, and there’s a week of mixed weather ahead. I look forward to Wednesday and Thursday, with sun, and temperatures in the mid 20s. Also, 3 days have a chance of rain, but maybe that will change! Continue reading “Weekly Meal Plan 2025-07-26”

Weekly Meal Plan 2025-07-19
It’s already the fourth week of July – how did that happen? For anyone starting their summer vacation, there’s a pretty good week of weather ahead. I’m glad to see temperatures in the 20s again, as a break from last week’s heat wave.
Slow Cooker Swiss Steak

Slow Cooker Apple Pork Roast
This slow cooker pork recipe is easy to prepare, and tastes delicious. The only hard part is waiting until it’s cooked, and ready for supper!
We make this at least once a month, and it makes enough for leftovers for the next day’s supper. Perfect!
Pork Tenderloin in Lemon Sauce
During the winter, we eat lots of stews and hearty casseroles. But on hot summer days, we look for lighter recipes for our supper meals, like this pork tenderloin recipe. Continue reading “Pork Tenderloin in Lemon Sauce”
Easy Chicken Casserole
The recipe was originally in Casseroles, in the old “Company’s Coming” cookbook series, published here in Canada, by Jean Pare. I collected quite a few books from that series!
Pasta With Steak Strips
The first time we made this recipe was way back in March 2008! We had leftover rib eye steak in the fridge, and fresh asparagus. Those ingredients inspired this quick and delicious supper recipe.
