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: chocolate chip banana muffins, cornbread with jam, homemade granola, gingerbread muffins, pancakes and bacon
Lunches: perogies, pizza, leftover soup
Dinners:
Monday: Turkey & vegetable coconut curry
Tuesday: Lentil soup with cornbread
Wednesday: Ham, rice and cauliflower casserole (used leftover rice from Monday and made a variation of this Cheesy Vegetable Casserole)
Thursday: Omelets, Parmesan & Herb Potatoes, Creamy Cucumber Salad
Friday: Leftover buffet
Saturday: another leftover buffet - we had a lot of leftovers!!
Sunday: pizza
