Has everyone noticed that up the top I’ve added a page which is an index to all the recipes posted on this blog so far? I hope it’s useful for you too!
Menu Week Starting 8th September 7 September, 2008
The menu for the first week of September went okay… We had two English girls staying with us till early in the week, then we had an 11 year old boy come for the rest of the week. We’ve had extra rehearsals, my yoga class and other interruptions to the tea-time hour as well.
Menu Week Starting 1st September 31 August, 2008
Last week’s menu went well. Everything went to plan except I did NO baking!
September Menu Challenge 25 August, 2008
I am going to set a challenge to myself to try 20 new recipes in September. Most will be main meals, some could be baking or sweets of some kind. I’m hoping that this challenge will bring some variety to our menu, which seems to be lacking lately…
I’ve been to the library and have 3 great vego recipe books to browse, plus the seemingly limitless amount of recipes on the ‘net, and those shared at Simple Savings and Menu Plan Monday - I don’t think 20 will be too difficult to achieve!
If you’d like to join in, please do! Leave a comment to say so, and I’ll come by and see how you’re doing. Happy recipe hunting!
Menu Week Starting 25th August 24 August, 2008
Everything went well last week except that I swapped Friday night’s roast veg meal for sweet & sour vegies, fish and rice. I moved the roast veg onto Sunday and shifted the Enchiladas to this week coming. Easy!
Menu Week Starting 18th August 17 August, 2008
Our menu last week went fairly smoothly. There were up to 11 here for tea each night. On Saturday night we had an al fresco meal by a bonfire with friends under the near-full moon. On Sunday night we enjoyed a mixture of quick foods and leftovers.
Menu Week Starting 11th August 11 August, 2008
Last week’s menu went fine except we ended up getting some WWOOFers come to stay so I changed both the weekend meals. Saturday we had skin-on potatoes and vegetables with a cheese sauce and on Sunday we had lots of pizzas!
Menu Week Starting 4th August 3 August, 2008
Last week’s menu went really well! Apparently the pumpkin and lentil soup was a little too spicy, but other than that everyone was rapt.
Menu Week Starting 28th July 27 July, 2008
Well, 5 out of 7 meals went to plan last week. We went out to our friends’ one night for BBQ fish (we took baby potatoes, coleslaw, wine, beer and a cake), and another I just couldn’t be bothered and didn’t feel like anything we had in the house… so we had take-away hot chips. We’d had a decent lunch, so chips were fine! So I’ve moved those two meals ahead to this week.
Menu Week Starting 21st July 19 July, 2008
Last week’s menu was yum, but the defrosted risotto just wasn’t the same. Next time we have leftover risotto I’ll leave it for lunches instead of freezing it. The pasta bake with pumpkin, spinach and feta was delicious!
