i never post anymore but I should start again since it's monday! I am working on cleaning out the rest of my lamb and beef from last year so I can buy another, so I'm doing a TON of cooking lately and freezing meals too.

monday 15th: Some kind of sandwiches on the homemade sourdough hogies I made yesterday, and a quick tomato creamy soup.
tues 16th: West African Jollof rice which is like a hearty stew with lots of spices, veggies and rice (kind of the same idea as a spanish rice dish) and yams. And of course fried Plantains

wed-fri I have meals planned but not sure which days.

wed: probalby mini deep dish pizzas for all. DH likes "stinky pizza" with loads of garlic, fresh and sundried tomatoes, and onion...and cheese of course
For kids, pecorino and fresh mozza, and they love either pesto or red sauce, I let them pick. I'll make a salad and croutons with it

2 other meals are swedish meatballs in which I made a huge batch of monday since I had the meat thawed, and froze so we will have those with something on the side

and then some kidn of pasta. I haven't decided which but my kids will help me make the noodles for it. Probably gorgonzola cream sauce with lots of veggies in it. Seems when we make homemade noodles and cream sauce anyone will eat tons of veggies!!

For desserts I have ice cream homemade in the freezer, and blackberry sauce, and a chocolate cake sometime mid week.

[wife&mommy]

Here is ours

Lasagna, Green Beans, Salad, Garlic Bread
Roast with potatoes & carrots (or maybe mashed potatoes?)
Breakfast for dinner (DH's choice)
BBQ Chicken, Potato Salad, Peas & Carrots
Chicken, Broccoli, & Cashew Stir Fry
Chili
Feta & Spinach Stuffed Chicken, Sweet Potatoes
