It has been a while since we have blogged, life and Ollie Rose has been busy and the blog always gets put the back pile on the thousand and one things to do list. 

I have barely baked or tried new things over the past two weeks, I think with my super bake for Brad’s trip away I was completely over cooking, however I really need to get back into it all again, so sat back down today and prepared my meal and plan and shopping list for the week.  And as I can think of nothing constructive to write about at the moment, my meal plan will have to suffice for blog posts.

THURSDAY - Chicken Cacciatore with polenta- am trying out a new recipe for this    http://aww.ninemsn.com.au/food/791028/chicken-cacciatore

FRIDAY – Sizzling Beef with rice

SATURDAY – Pork Cutlets with a leek, apple & pear sauce, beans, carrotts and potato

SUNDAY – Chicken scrolls with capsicum, spinach & feta and steamed vegies

MONDAY – Steak & Veg for us, and sausages for the kids

TUESDAY – Spaghetti with capsicum and salami

WEDNESDAY – Chicken & Leek Casserole with mashed potato

Baking – Peanut Cookies, Cheese & Corn Scones, Pumpkin Bread, Banana Muffins, Coconut Brownie Slice

I usually make a baking list so that I have ingredients, but rarely do I actually get around to making them all.  By making my list however, if I do manage to get the urge I at least know I have everything I need hiding in the cupboard.

At least now back on track with meal planning I won’t have 5 pm panic of what is for dinner.
