Menu Monday

 

It is getting cooler and frost or near frost conditions are headed our way. Harvey has picked all the potatoes, and we will have to cover the ground cherries (hopefully covering them keeps them safe). The lemon trees will be coming in tomorrow after the second spray of insecticidal soap. I was hoping for a few more weeks of well above freezing temperatures at nigh, but I guess that for the foreseeable future that is not going to happen.



But at least colder weather means soup and hearty stick to the ribs meals.

Monday

Split pea soup, served with Chicken Pesto muffins (first time I have made those muffins so I hope we like them). 

Tuesday

Stir fry using the leftover pork from Sunday. Served with rice.

Wednesday

I will be making Cabbage Bread (buns stuffed with cabbage, ground meat and onion, seasoned with salt and pepper) so we will have those for our meal.

Thursday

Leftovers from Tuesday nights supper. 

Friday

Eggplant Parma, probably with some kind of raw veggies on the side with some dip.

Saturday

Chicken Wings marinated and cooked in Garlic sauce. I think a salad would be lovely with this and perhaps some fries.

Sunday

A bag of the leftover ham warmed up, mashed potatoes, carrots from the freezer that I froze from this years harvest. 

I am trying to use up as much as possible from the chest freezer and have brought up some frozen saskatoon pie filling to make a crisp for desserts, plus some blueberries to have with my morning yogurt. I may also make some cherry loaf on one of the days to use up the dried cherries in the fridge.

Being a frugal cook means making the most of what you have and making sure you are using everything you have. Meals can be simple but filling when you cook ahead, make extra and plan on using leftovers in new ways. 

I will be taking a look at what I have for roasts and hoping for a good sale this week. Pretty much cleared all those out and they will need replacing sooner or later. 


Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Menu Monday


 Wow, this month is just whizzing by once again. It won't be too long before the arrival of much colder temperatures.

On with this weeks eating.

Monday

Leftover Jambalaya from Saturday. I will cut up some tomatoes as a side.

Tuesday

I made a casserole on Sunday with some leftover ham and the cauliflower that needed using. So we will finish that off tonight.

Wednesday

Chicken vegetable soup, and I think I will make tuna salad sandwiches. I have lots of tuna in the pantry and that needs to be cycled through as well.

Thursday

Going to use up a package of frozen leftover roast beef. Probably made into a stroganoff type meal served over mashed potatoes. I will make some carrots as a side dish.

Friday

Fish fillets, rice, green beans and once again some sliced tomatoes.

Saturday

This will be leftovers from Thursday's meal. This time served over noodles.

Sunday

Roast Pork, roast potatoes, roasted carrots and green beans.

Next month I am going to try and get a few more meatless meals into the rotation once again. Figure on stretching the meat dishes as much as possible as well. 

I am always surprised at how well so many of you do stretching a dollar, so very inspiring for me.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Back to Regular Posts Menu Monday


 Monday

Pork Cutlets, mashed potatoes, gravy, peas and a tossed salad.

Tuesday

Smoked Chicken Sausages, tossed salad from Monday, fried leftover potatoes with onions.

Wednesday

Steak in Mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes, corn.

Thursday

Soup and sandwiches. I will probably make grilled cheese and a Japanese noodle package of soup.

Friday

Fish fillets, fries, and coleslaw.

Saturday

Jambalaya using shrimp and garlic coil sausage. Leftover coleslaw. 

Sunday 

A package of ham from the fridge freezer warmed up, scalloped potatoes, and carrots. This will probably be made into a casserole and there should be enough leftover for a meal in the next week.


Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Menu Monday


 I will get back to posting about our trip tomorrow. I will say the funeral of my Aunt Alice has been draining. She was the closest to Mom in age, and they always seemed to be able to finish each others sentences. Staying at the farm was one of the highlights of our biyearly trips from Scarborough to Saskatchewan. I am really going to miss her.

Here is our menu for the upcoming week.

Monday

Pork chops, creamed potatoes and green beans from the garden.

Tuesday

Lentil curry on rice. I will serve a salad with this meal.

Wednesday

Leftover roast beef from Sunday made into a casserole.

Thursday

Chicken in Siracha sauce on noodles. This will be pulled from the fridge freezer and the salad leftovers from Tuesday will round out the meal.

Friday

Tuna pasta salad, and I will try and make some garlic bread out of the buns.

Saturday

Leftovers from Wednesday, and pretty sure there will be corn from the garden.

Sunday

Roast Chicken, mashed potatoes, carrots from the garden, and gravy. I will probably slice up a cucumber and have some dip to go with the cuke slices.


Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Menu Plan Monday and Day 5


 Getting very close to the end of the month once again, and I seem to be collecting a great deal of leftovers in the fridge freezer. I will need to start using those up once again or making tinfoil meals for the larger freezer to use when I just don't feel like cooking.

Monday

Chicken breasts baked on rice with Cream of Mushroom soup poured over top. The leftover salad from yesterday will round the meal up.

Tuesday

Leftover ham made into a casserole. I will probably make two of the same casserole and put one in the freezer downstairs for later.

Wednesday

Soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Thursday

Leftovers from Tuesday. Since Harvey plans on picking corn we will have corn on the cob with this meal.

Friday

If we are home and not at my Aunt Alice's funeral 4 hours away we will have Tuna Pasta Salad.

Saturday

If the funeral is today we will probably just munch on something when we get home. If we are home it will be Smoked Sausages, Baked beans, and a tossed salad to get the lettuce used up that is in the crisper.

Sunday

Beef roast, roasted potatoes, roasted carrots, and probably corn on the cob.


Day 5

We were finally aboard the ship and spent some time looking around and learning where everything was.





Up on the sundeck, Harvey and I played a game of shuffle board, and he did some putting while I walked on the walking track. I tried to walk every day that I possibly could.

While we had breakfast most mornings in the restaurant on board, most of our lunches and quite a few suppers were taken where we could sit outside and enjoy the evening.  

Time was spent in the lounge listening to George play and sing, enjoying an adult beverage or two as well.



The ship started to cruise in the evening and when we woke up in the morning we were usually at our next stop.

Day 6 tomorrow.


Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Menu Monday

 


This is going to be another week of trying to either clear things out, can items from the garden, or freeze leftovers for use later.

Monday

Chinese noodle soup, and grilled cheese sandwiches. 

Tuesday

Spaghetti and meat sauce, salad (need to use up some lettuce, cukes, and one pepper. May throw in some black olives to get those used up as well).

Wednesday

Chicken Parma, mashed potatoes, and the remains of the salad.

Thursday

Leftover spaghetti and meat sauce. Probably sliced cukes to go with (dip as well). Any leftovers will be put in a tinfoil container and frozen.

Friday

Fish fillets, leftover potatoes made into patties and fried, along with some frozen veggies (just not sure what).

Saturday

We plan on taking corn on the cob, 3 hamburger patties that need to be used up, and some lettuce with us to Kris's for supper. That will clear a bit more out of the freezer.


I also plan on trying to make some soups from the broth in the chest freezer probably tomorrow or more likely Wednesday. Then we will have some ready made soup for meals when we are home. There is ham broth, and chicken bone broth as well. I think there might be some turkey broth as well.

This week is going to be a busy one, even though I have really managed to get lots done, there is still lots to do. I think I will probably crash once we hit the ship.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. Pictures tomorrow of projects I have managed to complete, and perhaps some of the garden as well.

God bless.

Monday, July 20, 2026

Menu Monday

 


Keep in mind that this menu could and probably will change due to me wanting to use up all that I can before we leave the country.


Monday

Leftover Tuna Pasta Salad, along with some hamburger buns made into Cheese topped garlic bread.

Tuesday

I need to check, but I think there is either leftover chicken, beef roast, pork roast that needs to be used up. This means something will be done with that and any extra put into a container for youngest when he comes home to look after the garden for us. I also have some cucumber salad to go with.

Wednesday

Soup and sandwiches. I am leaning to tuna melts using the hamburger buns. I think I might make 1/2 the asparagus into soup.

Thursday

Sweet and Sour Ribs, rice and asparagus. There is lettuce so I may make a tossed salad as well.

Friday

Fake crab made up into a creamed style meal. Served over the remaining hamburger buns and the remains of the tossed salad.

Saturday

Leftover Sweet and Sour Ribs and rice. I will probably slice some veggies to serve with dip. 

Sunday

Chicken strips, creamed new potatoes, and perhaps a salad of some kind.


Slowly getting things used up and cleared out of the fridge and fridge freezer. There will probably be a few items we take to Kris's instead of allowing them to go to waste.

Menu Monday


 Home and so glad to be in air conditioned comfort, there is nothing like melting in a cabin during what feels like 114 degrees F, to make one ever grateful for air conditioning. 

I will fill you all in on the reunion over the next week. Kurt is home and helping out around the house and has said he will mow the front and back once the temperature drops.

So what are we eating over the next week. 

Monday

Stuffed chicken breasts, teriyaki noodles, and green beans. 

Tuesday

Beef brisket (smoked hopefully), potato salad, coleslaw, cheese and pickles.

Wednesday

Sloppy Joes, and whatever salad is left.

Thursday

Shredded brisket on buns, corn and probably I will make some type of salad.

Friday

Glace and eggs (one of Kurt's favs).

Saturday

Main dish tuna pasta salad.

Sunday

Pork roast, roasted potatoes, roasted carrots and a salad.


Now in case you all think I am turning on the oven in what could be a hot week, I will be using my toaster oven, electric roaster and stove top. Though I think for one meal I may just try my instant pot or perhaps my slow cooker. 

I am hoping to use up a few things from the downstairs freezers, and the fridge freezer over the remaining time we are home before traveling once again. I also want to use up lots that is in the fridge as well. But since Kris will be here one weekend, I will make sure there are a few ready meals for him to partake of. 


Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Menu Monday


 It's been another rainy day here on the southeastern corner of the province. In fact this is going to be another rainy week if the forecast is correct. 

I guess that means I don't have to worry about heating up the house if I bake. 

Monday

Chicken Drumsticks done in the air fryer, and the remains of the salad. I may put out some pickles and cheese as well.

Tuesday

The tinfoil container of beef slices in gravy along with mashed potatoes, and corn.

Wednesday

Soup and Sandwiches. I have leftover Chicken Vegetable soup that I froze from last week so we will have that and probably grilled cheese sandwiches.

Thursday

Hopefully it isn't raining much as I would like to make kabobs for the BBQ and some rice to go with it.

Friday

Soft tacos using the lentil taco filling that I froze. Topped with lettuce, cheese, chopped tomatoes, salsa and sour cream. 

Saturday

Smoked sausage, fries, and I will make another salad.

Sunday

Leftover ham warmed up. Served with mashed potatoes and corn.

I will be making the new menu up and hopefully clearing a few items out of the fridge freezer next month. Of course there are a few days where we will be gone, and some days where our oldest son will be visiting us and meals could be a bit more elaborate or we could go out for a meal.


Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Menu Monday


 It is that time of the week once again, and while I will be using things up I will also be adding to the collection in the fridge and freezer. I hope to catch up with using all of the bits and bobs over the next few weeks and definitely through the month of July.

So, what are we eating this week.


Monday

Hotdogs, homemade pork and beans and I may just get my take on a Greek salad made as well.

Tuesday

Leftover pork roast made into a stir fry and served over rice. If any Greek salad left we will hopefully finish that off as well.

Wednesday

Chicken Vegetable Soup and tuna salad sandwiches.

Thursday

The leftover stir fry and rice. I will probably add the asparagus that will definitely need using by then.

Friday

Breakfast for supper. I will make pancakes.

Saturday

BBQ hamburgers, and tinfoil potatoes, along with another tossed salad I hope.

Sunday

Roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, and corn (no carrots left until I go shopping once again).


So there is what we will be eating during the week, and since it is supposed to be a rainy one, I may even get a bit of baking in as well. Really could use some cookies.


Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Menu Monday

 


A new week and surprisingly it is staying pretty cool today. We have the windows open and there is a lovely breeze wafting in.

So, what is cooking at the homestead this week.


Monday

Soup and Grilled Cheese sandwiches. It has been a long day of tasks and I needed something very easy.

Tuesday

Leftover chicken from Sunday. I am thinking that wraps would be just lovely. I can run out later and pick some lettuce, and I bought some tomatoes today. Easy to grate up some cheese, add a bit of ranch dressing or some whipped French Onion Cream Cheese. 

Wednesday

Marinated steaks on the BBQ (if not raining too hard), along with some potato salad and asparagus done on the BBQ as well.

Thursday

Chili from the freezer and I hope to make some buns on our supposedly very rainy Tuesday.

Friday

Fish burgers, and the remains of the potato salad.

Saturday

Leftovers, kind of a clean out the fridge night.

Sunday

Pork roast, roasted potatoes, roasted carrots, and perhaps the last of the asparagus.

That should keep my carnivore happy as the next two weeks have a couple more meatless meals.


Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Tuesday Tidbits and Stuff




Sorry that I didn't post yesterday, but after a day of shopping and a run in with the dishwasher door, and the doorway frame, I just wanted to crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head.



 I am now sporting a rather large bruise on my arm. Quite the lovely sight. But I am feeling a bit more like myself and have had my appointment with my doctor moved ahead by a week, so will get her to take a look at the darn thing. 

Today I spent getting things finished in the house that did not get completed yesterday due to my clumsiness. I also managed some baking, and with Harvey's help got the loom warped and ready to go.

I am now taking a bit of a break before putting the finishing touches on supper and getting some more steps in. 

My back is slightly sore today due to the rain we got today, but man was that rain needed. Things grow so much better and the rain barrel is half filled!!! Harvey is hoping for more rain, at least enough to fill his rather large rain barrel. 

The bunny and I had a discussion today. I told the furry creature that as long as it only ate grass it was more than welcome to stay safe in our yard. It munched on a few stalks of grass and then hopped down the side of the house. I think we might have an understanding. 

Today got a call from our travel agent and she has selected our seats for us. Of course the short European flights had to be paid for, not sure why, but at least we will be sitting together. The cost was minimal really so I will not complain. She said the final items will come to her about 30 days before we leave (so beginning of July) and will contain our transfers, where we meet, and who will be meeting us. It is getting so very close.


Figured I may as well post the menu for this week, even though it is a bit late.

Monday
Porkchops, corn, and a package of Knorr Noodles which needed using.

Tuesday
Beef stroganoff from leftover roast beef, noodles, and a tossed salad.

Wednesday
Cheese/pepper/mushroom Quesadillas, tossed salad.

Thursday
If there is leftover stroganoff we will finish it up tonight. If not Chicken Breasts on the BBQ, salad, and mashed potatoes.

Friday
Salmon Casserole, leftover salad.

Saturday
Soup and sandwiches.

Sunday
Roast Chicken, roasted potatoes, and roasted carrots.


Everybody have a wonderful evening. 
God bless.

Menu Monday

 

Well the heat has arrived and after working out in the garden my meal plan has definitely changed for today.

Monday

This was supposed to be pizza night, however it is much too hot to turn on the oven. So I will pull out the leftover salad, boil a couple of eggs (4), thinly slice the ham I took out and make a main dish salad. 

Tuesday

Smoked sausage, potatoes, and carrots done on the BBQ (supposed to be even warmer tomorrow).

Wednesday

Baked Spaghetti (even though it will be warm I am hoping the air conditioning has caught up by then) even though I will be using the toaster oven and not the big oven. I may try and slip some garlic bread in as well.

Thursday

Soup and sandwiches. I might just make grilled cheese on the top of the stove. 

Friday

Tuna pasta salad. Heat will still be sticking around so another main dish salad is going to happen rather than a Tuna casserole.

Saturday

Stuffed chicken, cauliflower cheese, and probably a salad.

Sunday

It was supposed to be warmed up leftover ham, but I think I will get Harvey on the BBQ once again and do some Bacon Wrapped filets, as well as tin foil potatoes and carrots.

So there you have it. Changing meals on the fly, and combating the heat.


Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Menu Monday


 There will be a slight change in menu plans for this week. We had a rather large meal at lunch time and so I will not be cooking tonight. It will be a forage for yourself type of meal.

Monday

Forage through the fridge for each of us to have a rather smaller supper.

Tuesday

Hotdogs, baked beans, and the fries I never made with the fish.

Wednesday

Soup and sandwiches. I have got Cream of Mushroom out of the freezer and will add some egg salad sandwiches to be eaten.

Thursday

Leftover chicken made into taco meat, served in soft tacos. Sour cream, cheese, lettuce and tomato as well as salsa from the fridge. The salsa definitely needs using.

Friday

Not really sure, I might make a lentil curry, or we can have glace and eggs.

Saturday

Leftovers from Thursday.

Sunday

BBQ hamburgers, and foil packet carrots, potato and onion. 


Off now to get some more unpacking done from our visit with Kris. We had a lovely time and man where Dutch Growers moved their greenhouses to is absolutely amazing. Harvey has said we will need to go there next year to get our plants.


Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Monday, May 11, 2026

Menu Monday

 

I have already made a few changes to the menu for the week. Mainly because we won't be going up to visit Kris until Saturday, and the pork strips I removed from the freezer did not look in the least appealing. Lots of freezer burn.

Monday

A bag of leftover pork thinly sliced, added to some stir fry vegetables and I decided to use the plum sauce instead of stir fry sauce. Served over rice.

Tuesday

Soup and sandwiches. I have some chicken vegetable soup and will make some tuna salad sandwiches, or tuna salad buns.

Wednesday

Leftover Stir Fry and leftover rice.

Thursday

Leftover ham warmed up and homemade fries. I will probably make peas to go with and perhaps some cuke slices and the remaining cherry tomatoes.

Friday

Salmon patties, noodles, and green beans.

Saturday

At Kris's place for the next couple of days. 


So there you have it, and with the weather finally warming up I am hoping to get some main dish salads, and more BBQ meals into the rotation.


Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

Menu Monday

I am working on how the blog will be set up from now on. I think I will probably post Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. There could be a weekend post if something exciting happens, or if I have any news.

Other than Menu Monday, I am still not sure what the other days will hold. I do know there will be frugal tips, frugal cooking ideas, project completions, and my journey towards a simple life. 

I was asked why I make so many mittens for the school my son teaches at. It is a K to Grade 12 school and it is in a rather depressed area of Alberta. Yes, there is oil but there have been many layoffs over the years, and lots of the coal mines shut down many years ago. This is one reason and the other is after having worked in schools here, children are always losing their mittens up to a certain age. I want their little fingers to stay nice and warm.

I am also amazed that so many of you read my little blog and have given me a reason to keep on blogging. At one point I was considering taking a long break, but now I figure 4 times a week will be enough for awhile. Perhaps once I have reached a point where I have reached that simple life, I will go back to blogging a bit more often.

On to menu plans for the week, and considering we had a few snowflakes meandering down from the sky this morning, I am pretty happy I did not plan on any BBQ meals this week.

Monday

Hamburger soup, and buns or crackers.

Tuesday

Leftover chili served over pasta. 

Wednesday

Leftover Roast beef slices made into a casserole. Served with a salad.

Thursday

Leftover beef casserole from Wednesday along with leftover salad.

Friday

Salmon Fillets, rice, and mixed veggies.

Saturday

Chicken Pasta Bake. This is a ready meal pulled from the freezer downstairs. I think we will probably have some green beans with this. The weather should be better and I hope to get the perennial bed dug over and some of the weeds out. 

Sunday

Baked chicken thighs, homemade fries, and peas. 


As you can all see I am still making my way through various bits and bobs from the freezers. Also anything left over will be frozen to be used later in another meal, or perhaps taken up when we visit with Kris to share or for him to have for another meal when we are not there. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Menu Monday

 


The last week of the month of April is here. Even with the rather crappy weather we have had this month seems to have passed by quickly.

So what are we eating this week, lots of leftovers of course and items from the chest freezer made a bit ago.

Monday
Leftover sausage casserole, and because of all the veggies in it I will not be making a side.

Tuesday
Leftover Roast Beef from Sunday. I will probably thinly slice it, add mushrooms, sauté some onion, add some gravy (make a bit more and add that along with the leftover gravy), and a bit of sour cream. This time instead of noodles I will serve it over mashed potatoes. Perhaps a side of the leftover cauliflower and broccoli in a cheesy sauce. 

Wednesday
A package of the Buns filled with ground beef and cabbage I made in I believe November or December. Not sure if I will make a side or not.

Thursday
Leftovers from Tuesday this time served over noodles, with a side of green beans.

Friday
Lazy Perogy Casserole with fried onions, butter and sour cream.

Saturday
I plan on making a big pot of chili. Served with toast. To stretch the meat slightly I will probably add lots of beans.

Sunday
Pork roast, roasted potatoes, roasted carrots, and a salad. This is if I can find a decently priced pork roast. If not I will be getting Hubby to BBQ some bacon wrapped beef medalions and doing potatoes and carrots on the BBQ as well.

Oh here is a picture of what our weather was like at around supper time last night.

Yes that is snow, it is all gone now thank heavens. The rest of the week looks pretty good, except for Wednesday night. We could get a bit more snow. Boooo.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 
God bless.

 

Monday, April 20, 2026

Menu Monday

 

I went shopping today for all the great meat deals available this week. We are now pretty much stocked up for many weeks and months now. Except for roasts, whole chickens and hams. Which will be easier to find sales on. I am now hoping not to have to go shopping at all until probably the middle of the first full week of May. Keeping my fingers crossed for that.

I will also be working to get more cleared out of the chest freezer. There are lots of ready meals and soups that need to be used up and planting season is coming up. This is true even though the forecast for later this week is calling for snow. Rain first of course.

Now onto this weeks menu.


Monday

Leftover Jambalaya from Saturday and a salad.

Tuesday

Pork chops, mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and any leftover salad.

Wednesday

Sweet and sour meatballs, rice and a tossed salad.

Thursday

Soup and sandwiches. I will probably make egg salad sandwiches. 

Friday

Fish burgers, the remains of the tossed salad, and probably pickles and cheese as I have pickles that need to be used up.

Saturday

Small sausage casserole and as there are loads of veggies in this just some bread or buns to go with.

Sunday

A Roast beef, roasted potatoes, roasted carrots and a coleslaw to use up the cabbage.


Some of these meals are leftovers in the fridge freezer, some are new and some are using up things from the pantry and chest freezer. 

I am working on using things up even though I am stocking up at the same time.


Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

Menu Monday

 

Wow, it is the middle of the month, or close to it at any rate. One would think more April showers would be happening. While the next three days will have some rain, soon enough we will have lower temperatures and some of the white stuff. Really the type of weather that makes a person want to stay inside. 

So what are we eating this week. I am using a few things up from the fridge freezer and probably one item from the chest freezer. It all depends on if there are enough leftovers from one of my meals.

Monday

Ham and Pasta Bake. This has some extra veggies that I put into the casserole.

Tuesday

Sweet and Sour Ribs and I will pull out a package of frozen leftover rice from the fridge freezer. I will make carrots as a side dish. We do love carrots in this house.

Wednesday

Leftovers from Monday.

Thursday

Leftovers from Tuesday if there is enough for a meal. I may end up pulling a ready made meal from the chest freezer. I may make a salad.

Friday

Salmon patties, homemade hashbrowns (from the chest freezer), and peas. Leftover salad.

Saturday

Jambalaya which will use up some of the smoked garlic sausage from the fridge freezer, the last of the shrimp, and I will make another salad of some kind.

Sunday

Roast chicken, roast potatoes, and roast carrots. Served with any leftover salad.


This will take care of a few items in the fridge, fridge freezer, and the chest freezer as well.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.

I hope that all of you had as wonderful an Easter as we did. Kris and our Grandcat made it home around 2 on Good Friday. A bit of excitement as his car was making a dragging noise when he got into the city. Turns out the plastic that was around his front drivers side tire had broken away and was dragging and rubbing on his tire. Yesterday he cut it away, and no noise. He is however going to try and pick up the piece at Princess Auto, and if they don't have it will order it online. He has a garage so will be able to install it himself with the help of YouTube videos. 

I did send a fairly comprehensive care package home with him as well. 

So what are the menus for this week.

Monday
Leftover roast beef from the fridge freezer made into a casserole. Served with the leftover salad from yesterday. There will be enough for another meal later this week (okay on Wednesday).

Tuesday
Leftover chicken made into I think taco meat. I will try my hand at making my own tortillas as well. There will probably be enough leftover for another meal as well, probably Thursday.

Wednesday
Leftovers from Monday.

Thursday
Leftovers from Tuesday.

Friday
Leftover tuna casserole. Sliced veggies and dip, or I will boil up some carrots from the garden that I have frozen in the chest freezer.

Saturday
Hotdogs, baked beans, pasta or fries.

Sunday
Pork roast, roasted potatoes, roasted carrots.


And here is a picture of our Grandcat. My phone is actually sending pictures to my computer once again. Keep your fingers crossed that continues. I do have some photos on the camera that need to be transferred over.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 
God bless.
