Easy Menu Plan
This morning in my “not quite awake yet” state I thought perhaps I’d attempt to regain some semblance of control and menu plan. Nothing too elaborate but a plan nonetheless. As it turned out, it looks like I only needed half a plan. But here it is, such that it is:
Monday - Fish Patties
Farmboy went fishing a few week’s back with his sister’s husband and they caught a heap of Snook which they then had smoked. Farmboy and Trailer Boy (our 4 year old) both liked the taste of cold smoked fish but the rest of us weren’t so sure. My SIL tells me it makes nice fish patties so I thought it was time to give that a go.
Tuesday - Quiche
We have like a bazzilion eggs in the fridge and I really need to do some baking. If only my body and brain would co-operate with my plans!!!! Quiche always goes down well and is an easy meal to prepare.
Wednesday - Chops
The last sheep we had butchered for our own use was a SAMM and is delicious!!! It’s like a cross between steak and lamb. Beautiful and tender but lower in fat and with a more steak-like texture. It’s a new breed for us and I’m quite excited about it. I’ve written a post about it on Lightening’s Garden.
Thursday - Football/Netball Training.
Kids eat there. Farmboy and I sometimes do (depending on how we’re feeling and what’s on the menu) and sometimes grab something easy when we get home.
Friday - Out
Kids will be at grandparents and we’ll grab something on the run.
Saturday - Pumpkin Soup
Planning to cut into the first of the Jap Pumpkins to make soup this week.
Sunday - Toasted Sandwiches
Menu Plan Monday is hosted at I’m an Organizing Junkie.

LOVE pumpkin soup….Yum!
Menu Plan is Up
Great minds must think alike! ha!
I was about to do some menu planing when I got sidetracked by the web yet again! So off I go to give my menu plan a go, ho ho ho!
I think menu planning will help definitely be of help while I am doing the 30 day challenge. Can’t believe it is about to start this week, but am looking forward to learning!
My menu plan is “what is in the fridge that I can cook quick and that MrsStuffy and JrStuffy will eat”. Sometimes this ends up as some Subway and a Happy Meal.
I have a new blender, bought it yesterday, *happy dance*, so I’ll be making pumpkin soup on Saturday too. Pumpkin & sweet potato to be precise. up till now I’ve made it by pushing the mix through a sieve to get the puree stage done. The blender will make it MUCH easier.
We’re having quiche this week, too. I don’t make eggs for dinner often enough!
Mmmmmm, SAMM. I don’t know what genetic modifications they did to the sheep to make them the size of a small horse, but the meat certainly is yummy. We cut it up more like a cow than a sheep and then we get the eye and scotch fillet as one piece. Cook it really fast in a hot heavy pan and leave to rest for a few minutes before carving - soooooo tender.
I’m intrigruiged by this SAMM you speak of….
Most def going to try this one soon! Is it lean meat ?
Sandra - LOVE your menu plan with all those lovely photographs!!!
Lynette - Hope your menu planning went okay.
Planning Queen - good thought. I think I read on your blog that you’re getting prepared for the 30-Day Challenge meal wise.
Stuffy - ROFLOL. Can you please send me a meatball sub? Subway keep advertising them here but they DON’T SELL THEM here (as in close enough to where I live that I can go out and get one). There should be a law against that!!!!
Don’t worry, I’ll be close to one on Friday and they’d better not be out of meatballs is all I gotta say….
River - That sounds like a hard way to make pumpkin soup (using a sieve). Enjoy your new blender.
And the pumpkin soup.
Dara - they’re a good ingredient, especially if you have or can get free range eggs.
Gnometree - LOL. Ours aren’t quite that big!
I’ll have to remember that with the butchering.
Horse - MUCH leaner than regular “fat lamb” in my experience so far.
