Weekly Meal Plan 2025-10-11
For this week’s menu, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, with chicken for our Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. Yes, turkey is the traditional choice, but we find it dry, so we’ve made chicken instead, for the past few years.

For the first full week of October, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, and included one new recipe. It’s Easy Canned Tuna Pasta, which I had on the menu before, but it mysteriously got bumped for something else. We’ll see what happens this time!.

For this week’s menu, I chose old favourites from our meal plan, and included one new recipe – Leek and Potato Soup. It calls for half fat crème fraîche, and if we can’t find that at the grocery store, I’ll use low fat sour cream instead.

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.

Weekly Meal Plan 2025-09-13
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.

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

Excel Weekly Meal Planner 7-Day Calendar
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!

Weekly Meal Plan 2025-08-23
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.
