I'm going to try to post here this month. :)

I've cooked meals for 6 this week. However, not everyone has been home this week for dinner so we have a lot of leftovers. We will use those up on Friday and Saturday. I've moved my Friday meal to next week.

Sunday - Lasagna and Tossed Salad
Monday - Quinoa Salad with Cucumbers and Tomatoes
Tuesday - Chili Con Carne with home made tortilla chips
Wednesday - Lentil Salad with Grapes
Thursday - Pasta Salad with Peas and Ham
Friday - Leftovers
Saturday - Leftovers

4DDF6A8C-C974-41E6-ACBF-56BB77365D7F.jpeg :p Yum!! I started the meat (ground Turkey and sausage), onion, and garlic. Instead of milk, I used tomato juice. I also puréed cooked sweet potato in that tomato juice … just because I had them and it adds some hidden veggies. (DH) I added the sauce to the meat and put in frig. On Sunday, I will get this out and layer noodles and sauce in 13x9 pan.

I remember I was going to cook something tonight but only remember now that I was going to serve french fries with it. Wonder if I could say we are having nacho fries and just toss some cheese on top. lol

Maybe fry some shrimp and scallops and toss old bay on the fries. With sliced tomatoes. Now where is that butler I always wanted……

Last week was a bust. I did a menu plan and tossed it out the window early-early morning (like 12:35 AM) on Monday. So, I'm simply re-purposing last week's menu (that never got posted) and adjusting it for a new week.

Aug. 15 - 22, 2021
Sunday -- burgers on the grill, potato salad
Monday -- lasagna, salad, garlic bread
Tuesday -- dinner with Widows group
Wednesday -- stuffed pepper, bean salad
Thursday -- late lunch with BH/St Joe Memories group; will have something light for dinner, i.e. veggies, salad, fruit, or similar
Friday -- pizza, salad
Saturday -- grilled chicken, veggie skewers, salad [at dock] OR dinner with sister & family
Sunday -- hot dogs on grill, roasted potatoes, sliced tomatoes [at dock] OR dinner with sister & family

May I ask what this is?
Savory mince is ground beef that is cooked with peas, corn, carrots, onions (whatever you like really) added to it. It is then flavoured with gravox gravy powder (not sure if you have that) that thickens it and it becomes like a meat pie/shepherds pie filling. We serve it sometimes on toast or as as dish with mashed potatoes and extra veggies. I will try and find out what your version of gravox might be.
