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!
From the garden we have lettuce and cooking greens, the last few of Autumn’s pumpkins, herbs, lots and lots of eggs and more macadamias. We spent a couple of hours harvesting more last week.
I did some stocking-up at the supermarket last week and got loads of apples and carrots in the Organics co-op and a box of oranges from the farm (having plenty of oj), and also a box of bananas!
Baking last week ended up being some coconut loaves, which is a recipe from Simple Savings - very easy and YUM! My daughter also made some cheese biscuits and a zucchini slice!
This week we’re feeding 4 adults and 6+ children - so using all the BIG pots!
Monday: spiral pasta with creamy mushroom sauce, steamed broccoli
Tuesday: mountain bread quiches & salads, dessert (strawberries & ice-cream)
Wednesday: curry (from freezer) and rice & yoghurt
Thursday: pumpkin soup & bread, dessert
Friday: BBQ fish & salads
Saturday: spaghetti & tomato-based sauce
Sunday: falafel or lentil burger wraps (in Mountain Bread)
Baking & Prep: snacks and Thursday’s dessert (?)

Your plan looks great this week! I love the thought of mountain bread quiche! Is that one of your recipes? Do you think it could it be done with tortillas?
Have a great week!
Hi Nellbe!
Mountain Bread is a larger size and thinner than some tortillas, but I’m sure tortillas would work! We buy our mountain bread direct from http://www.mountainbread.com.au in bulk. I simply lay the sheet of bread in a greased pie plate, put grated vegies, herbs and grated cheese in there, mix egg, milk and seasoning with a tiny bit of flour and baking powder, then pour that over the vegies. I make them shallow and they bake fast. One of my favourites is small chunks of roast pumpkin and shredded spinach - YUM.
Hope this helps!
Hi Bel,
Mountain Bread doesn’t have any preservatives in it, does it? I’m pretty sure I remember buying it ages ago because it didn’t.
Does it work out much cheaper buying it in bulk rather than from the supermarket?
I have only the Organic wheat one here, Kez, and it has flour, salt and water in it. It’s in a sealed pkt and has one of those sachets (of drying agent?) in the bag with it. I keep a couple out of the freezer, and freeze the rest. Last time I bought 50 pkts which entitles me to 10 free pkts so brought the price down to $2.08 pkt. I shared my order with friends. It’s $3.70 or so a pkt in the supermarkets here. We use a few pkts a week (large family), so it’s a good saving for us over time, and handy to have in the house too!
Bel, I’ve missed your regular posts, hope everything is alright.
I love the quiche idea. May try that… except that I forgot to buy eggs this week :$

The quiches went well - I made 4 shallow ones and there was more than enough for the 10 of us.
Yes, thanks, everything is fine Liz, just busy with these sunny days and having visitors here. I hope you’re well too. xx
