These 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.
Since it has suddenly gotten chilly and I did not have a chance to hit Portobello vegetable market – this week is going to be an eat the freezer week. I might have a change of heart about my menu if the weather realizes that it is August and not October. Fingers crossed on that one.
I had a realization this weekend; I feel so much better when I sleep properly. I know this is common knowledge but I have figured out that I get more tired as the week progresses. I have two evenings when I get home especially late then go to bed later than normal after cooking and cleaning up so I have decided that the way to go is to plan two super easy, quick to make dinners. These fast meals might include leftovers.
