Excel at weekly meal planning!
Here in Mississauga, there’s a week of mixed weather in the forecast. Every day has clouds, and the sun peeks out occasionally. I like the mid-20 temperatures though!
For this week’s menu, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, and included one new recipe – One-Pot Creamy Orzo with Pork. Continue reading “Weekly Meal Plan 2025-07-05”
When we first tried this soup, it was in the slow cooker all day, and we enjoyed it at supper time.
Later, I adapted the recipe, so I could make it on the stovetop, in a much quicker time! The flavours are just as good, and now it’s a 45 minute project, instead of taking all day.
This is a lighter, less gooey, version of traditional Blondies squares. They’re delicious, and they disappear quickly!

Sometimes we call these “baking powder biscuits” and sometimes they’re “tea biscuits.” Whatever you call these biscuits, they’re delicious, especially when they’re fresh out of the oven!
For a tasty and low cost supper, put a cottage roll in the slow cooker after breakfast, and it will be ready in time for your supper! It looks a bit like ham, but has a different texture, and a saltier flavour.
Way back in 2009, Keith searched the internet for slow cooker rib recipes. He found a few, and combined the ideas into his own special recipe. The ribs cooked for several hours, and the house smelled wonderful all afternoon.
There’s a week of mixed weather ahead, and we might have to celebrate Canada Day indoors! I’m glad it will be cooler than last week though!
For this week’s menu, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, with no new recipes.
