mealplanmonday_v1These past couple of weeks have been incredibly hectic so I must apologize for neglecting my lovely readers.  I had dedicated every extra minute to working on my once a year sideline, just to have it not work out.  What does this information mean to Menu Monday this week, you ask, well it means we are eating on the extra cheap and from the freezer.

Monday – Chicken and mushroom rissotto, chicken leftover from a roast

Tuesday – Spaghetti with Roasted Tomatoes

Wednesday -Ratatouille – this is the perfect frugal dish for the end of summer produce

Thursday – Chili from the freezer

Friday – Simply Fish (bought on sale) with ratatouille

Saturday – Chili, honey pork steaks with black beans and yellow rice

Sunday – I will be taking inventory of the cupboards and freezer, who knows what I will find.

Menu Monday 23rd August 2010

August 23rd, 2010

mpm2-1

This is most likely my busiest week of the year as I will be doing my regular work and preparing my big yearly sideline in the evenings.  I am tired already.  Therefore this week, I am going to try to be healthy but quick with lots from the freezer.  Bless the person that invented the freezer.

Monday – Pasta with fresh baby plum tomato and  prosciutto sauce

Tuesday – Black bean (from the freezer) burrito

Wednesday – Roast chicken with orzo and vegetables

Thursday – Simply Fish (bought on sale last week) with new potatoes and salad

Friday- Everything chicken salad – the whole crisper will be put in to make space in the fridge

Saturday – Will be working in the kitchen all day so I am going to cheat and put a pizza in the oven with salad – real cooking will just not be possible with the time and space constaints.

Sunday – Notting Hill Carnival! Jerk chicken with the works

mpmpencilThese past two weeks have been absolutely crazy!  I have not even had the time to my favourite thing, write my blog. So this week I am going to cheat – I am going to only make a few things that I can mix and match.

Weekend cooking – Black beans in the slow cooker.

Monday – Roast chicken with orzo and green vegetables.  I am making a big chicken so I have lots of leftovers.

Tuesday – Burritos with black beans and chicken

Wednesday – Greek salad with steamed fish – this is a definite cheat – Bird’s Eye Simply Fish is on sale.

Thursday – Rice and beans with salsa, maybe with some chicken if there is any left

Friday -Steak with mashed haricot beans and salad

Saturday -  Stock in slow cooker then risotto

Sunday – hopefully going out for anniversary meal

Sorry to be so boring lovely readers, but I need to get some stuff done as I am behind the eight ball.  I am hoping that with this cheat week , I can write some fantastic posts for you and hopefully get a tiny bit a head.
