Welcome to my weekly roundup of the past week's eats. I prefer to report what we ate in the last week, rather than what we're planning to eat in the coming week. Why? The reason is pretty simple: although I usually have a general idea of what we're going to eat in the next week or so, life often unfolds a little differently than planned, and I adjust my menu plan on a near-daily basis to accommodate leftovers and other not-possible-to-plan-ahead circumstances. I find this is the easiest way to ensure that I minimize our family's food waste. I'm also willing to admit that I'm a rather spontaneous cook, given to preparing foods that strike me as the most appealing thing to eat right here and now!
Breakfasts: apple oatmeal muffins, homemade granola, banana chocolate chip muffins, scrambled eggs/bacon/toast
Lunches: Leftover Spinach & Parmesan Bake, leftover lentil soup, cream of tomato soup, peanut butter and jam sandwiches, turkey salad sandwiches, pizza

I read your recipe for the West African Style Baked Beans and will absolutely be trying it! Curry and peanut butter - what's not to like? LOL Thanks for sharing.
