Thanks for the great response about meal planning. I’ll continue writing and linking to Mindful Menus. If you have a blog and meal plan, please join us!
Someone asked me how well I follow through with the plan. Last week, I made Monday and Tuesdays meals as planned, cooked up faux Reuben sandwich and tomato soup instead of dinner with Dad on Wednesday, and made homemade macaroni and cheese on Thursday instead of lentil barley soup. None of the changes required a trip to the grocery!
pumpkin soup with gretna grilling cheese croutons
On to this week:
Monday – Corn chowder and salad with sprouts
Tuesday – Tandoori chicken, palak paneer (homemade paneer), and rice
Wednesday – leftovers or dinner with Dad
Thursday – barley lentil soup, homemade sausage
Friday – spinach lasagna
I’m making an additional lasagna to deliver to a friends in a tragic situation. The father is terminally ill and mother is five weeks from delivering their third child. Their oldest son is in my daughter’s preschool class. If you live locally and want to offer support or can donate money to their need, please visit the Support Amber and John facebook page.
We had corn chowder today too with corn I froze last summer. Perfect on a wintry day like today.

Love your plan this week! Tandoori chicken – yummo! One of the great things about menu planning is that you rule the plan, it doesn’t rule you. You can switch it up as life dictates and still be successful at it. I am sorry to hear about your friends. May they feel loved and cared for during this difficult time by friends like you. Thanks for joining Mindful Menus!!! Love having you!!! PS Thanks for letting me know about the missing >. I must have removed it this weekend by accident.

Looks like a fantastic menu. homemade sausage – wow! That’s something I have never attempted to do. Seems difficult, is it?
