Menu Plan Monday - 14th September

Okay, okay - I know it's not Monday, but I just couldn't get to the computer yesterday to write out my menu plan! Better late than never. At least it's all planned out using my friend Bel's very helpful 'Weekly Schedule' plan... she is a great organizer! (Check out her Home Cooking and Home Grown blogs.)

I'm rather busy this week, with a Thermomix cooking class and a demo, a homeschool outing, scrapbooking, going to a friend's for dinner, homeschooling, and sorting and packing for our move (which has to be done this week)... and I also need to get some baking done for a camp I'm cooking at next week (I'm the 'special diets' cook!)... so I've kept it pretty basic this week. If you'd like some menu planning ideas, go to Menu Plan Monday at orgjunkie.com; and if you have a Thermomix (or wish you did!) check out the many recipes and ideas at the Thermomix forum.

Have a great week!
