Menu Plannning Monday



I used to do this a fortnight at a time and found it saved loads of money and time to know in advance what we were eating each night. Thought I would give it another crack!

Whilst surfing the internets world of blogs I came accross Im an organizing Junkie and saw she does the planning and is encourageing others. I also thought this way I would at least remember to post something once a week!

Monday Menu planning

Monday - Shepherd pie with peas and baked beans

Tuesday - FEC Chicken Schnitzel with salad (FEC - Flour/Egg/Breadcrumbs)

Wednesday - Sausages, chops and potato bake

Thursday - Chicken parcels (One of my teenagers will do this)

Friday - Homemade Pizza

Saturday - Chicken rissoles and salad

Sunday - Hopefully takeaway of some sort.

We leave for Queensland early on Monday (14th) morning which will be around a 10 hour drive so that is why Sunday night will be takeaway, one less thing to worry about.

Otherwise, spent a pretty lazy Sunday at home. Didn't really find out how hot it got until I went out at 5 to the supermarket and it was still in the mid 30's Im sure. Renee spent most of the day on Sims2 which will no doubt end tomorrow as I had a text message from Bec and she wants to come home from her dads a day early!!

Great to see you've joined MPM. It definitely helps with the finances plus the agony of deciding what's for dinner. I post mine on the fridge and when the kids ask what's for dinner - I just tell them to go have a look.
Hope you enjoy your holidays in Queensland.

I am a planner from Oz as well. I do plan fortnightly, aim to grocery shop fortnightly and do the market shop for fruit and veg each week. I am a newbie at posting at MPM as well. Nice to meet you.

hey ... I'm in Australia too. Queensland, actually !!

How do you make your chicken rissoles ?

Hi, thanks for popping over!

Chicken rissoles? Well, it differs each time lol. Chicken mince, an egg, worcestershire sauce, onion/shallots, salt and pepper and really anything else you can find plus either bread crumbs or mashed potato cooked earlier (if I remember to cook them earlier). Mix all together and shape into ball/roundish type arrangements. I then fry in a frypan. Sometimes I put in some sweet chilli sauce too and even have added Tarragon. All the kids eat them.
