What's for dinner

Since coming out of hospital I've had my wings on again and been 'Flying' as per the lovely Flylady.  I've done little bits and pieces each day to match my energy and the consistency has really paid off.  The house is quite presentable, laundry is done, there is very little clutter, meals are planned and my grocery list matches my menu.   I've even been able to tackle a couple of cupboards and clean out my wardrobe too. Brilliant!  It made me realise that I have VERY. FEW. CLOTHES.  Really. I don't usually have heaps of clothes but having lost weight and moved down a size I have even fewer. I'll have to do a wardrobe post for you at a later date because today I'm putting my menu plan out there.  So, what is on the menu this week here at Heart's Landscapes?

• Garlic Lime Chicken with brown rice and a mix of greens and red capsicum
• Oven baked salmon, my rosemary smashed potatoes and mixed greens with garlic, honey and balsamic dressing.
• Chorizo and vegetable frittata with a large mainly green mixed salad.
• Cranberry and Orange Pork chops baked in oven, mash and steamed greens.
• Tacos with salad, avocado and possibly sour cream
• Maple herb steak (marinate steak in a squirt of maple syrup - enough to coat - and fresh herbs from garden), Michelle Trute's low fat macaroni cheese, salad and apple crumble with custard as a treat.
• My seafood marinara  - as previously posted here.  Fruit for dessert if we so desire.

Lunches options consist of :

• leftovers
• A salad of some type with fish or chicken or a vegetarian protein
• a Mission Mini wrap (wholemeal) with salad or hot veg such as capsicum, mushroom, spinach, eggplant etc with or without a protein.
• Soup as is or with a cheese scone or slice of bread.

Snack options:

• Fruit
• Small cheese such as Laughing Cow segment, Babybel, or cheese stringer
• Nuts (8-10 only)
• Yoghurt
• Fruit parfait (with yoghurt and muesli)
• Home baking
• Air popped popcorn

This weeks baking:

• Madeira cake and lemon poppy seed muffins (due to the overwhelming number of lemons on my tree), will freeze some or even all of the muffins.
• Jam drop biscuits from the classic Day to Day Cookery.

So, that's our food in a nutshell and it has already made my day seem so much .... easier.  I'm yet to do the baking.  Our lunches and snacks never change much so I won't post them again but I'll work on organising myself enough to post my menu plan each week so that I have a record of it and so you can take a peep too of course!

I'll do an update on my art tomorrow so you can see what is coming out of my pencil at present.

Stay well and happy everyone.
