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.

There’s a week of weather mostly cloudy weather ahead, with the sun peeking out today and Wednesday. There’s a chance of rain on Monday, and autumn officially arrives that day, at 2:19 PM.
Get your sweaters and pumpkin pie spice mix ready! The sheet pan pork chops use that seasoning, so it’s a perfect choice for our Wednesday supper.

How It Actually Went
Here’s what we actually had this week (to be updated later).
Sunday – Burgers
- Instead of me trying the new recipe, Easy Canned Tuna Pasta, Keith offered to make burgers. So yes, I’ll put that on the menu again sometime, when I don’t want to cook supper!
Monday — Turkey Schnitzel
- Keith made the turkey schnitzel in the air fryer, and put sheet pan veggies in the oven. Near the end of the cooking time, he noticed that the oven had stopped working – a fuse had burnt out!
- While he sorted out that problem, the schnitzel got a little overdone, but everything was still delicious
Tuesday — Carrot Apple Ginger Soup
- This meal went as planned, with a bit leftover for my lunch on Wednesday
Wednesday — Sheet Pan Pork Chops & Brussels Sprouts
- This meal went as planned, with oven fries on the side
Thursday — Meat Loaf, Easy
- We forgot to take this out of the freezer yesterday, so it was still a bit frozen at cooking time. Keith cooked it about 10 minutes longer than usual, and the temperature check showed it was safe to eat
Friday — Meat Loaf, Easy
- There was lots of meat loaf left for Friday’s supper, with sheet pan veggies on the side.
Saturday — Sheet Pan Lemon Chicken and Vegetables
- This meal went as planned, with sheet pan vegetables on the side
