A new menu

I've been very busy settling everyone into school and blogging has been right at the bottom of my todo list. So I thought I'd try and get back into it.

Today I made a new menu board. The last one was just made out of the biggest photo frame I had lying around at home. This time I actually went and bought a frame. It cost $10. Pretty cheap and nice and big. I was finding it hard to fit our weekly menu into the space I had!!

Well I rummaged through my scrapbook supplies and found some letter stickers, flower stickers and paper. It took me about 10 minutes to put the board together and it's made it much easier to write on and see. The kids actually noticed it as soon as they got home from school today.

I've been plodding along with my menu planning and only missed a week when we got back from our holidays. I should try and write them down so I can reuse the meal plans that worked. I'd like to plan a whole terms worth of meals for when I'm back at work. That's 10 weeks worth. We'd probably do a 3 week rotation of easy meals that just work. It'll be one less thing to worry about! I need to find some more no-fail recipes now.

Work...

I don't even want to think about going back yet. I'm just enjoying being a mum who coffees, lunches and organists play dates. Lol it's not quite as easy as that, but that would be the ideal.

Menu Plan Wednesday

I found this last week very easy as far as meals go. How nice to know exactly what we were having for dinner and what I needed to grab from the shop or get Dave to get on the way home. No more wondering what to eat for dinner or trying to answer the 'What's for dinner?' question while blankly staring into the open fridge hoping for inspiration.

So here is week 2:

Thursday: Shepard's pie and salad
Friday: Omellette and salad
Saturday: Going out for dinner. Yay!
Sunday: Breakfast for dinner. Bacon and eggs
Monday: Roast and vegies. I'm hoping that David will cook the roast. Fingers crossed. ; )
Tuesday: Left overs.
Wednesday: Satay chicken skewers, rice and salad

Menu Plan January 5-11

My New Years Eve resolution was to write a menu plan each week. Well here is this coming weeks:

Monday: scrambled egg on toast with smoked salmon
Tuesday: beef curry and brown rice
Wednesday: frittata and salad
Thursday: chicken burritos
Friday: baked beans on toast
Saturday: Buffallo wings and saladMarinated chicken wings and drumettes
Sunday: bread dipped in egg with tomato

I just realised that I've started on Monday but I should've started on Thursday. Never mind. I think you get the picture. I'll probably need to include a left over day, but it'll probably be used up on weekend lunches.
