Menu Plan Monday - 28th September

Well, what a week it was last week! Didn't get a menu plan done, as I was cooking at a camp of about 100 people! (Mostly kids.) I do the special diet cooking for our church youth camps, (plus help with the other cooking) and we had a lot of fun, but I was pretty exhausted by the end of it! (And ended up in bed with a migraine for a day and a half - probably partly from the stress of trying to organize moving, plus the late nights and all...)

I just had to share this photo of Cassia licking the beater after we made chocolate cake - how's this for a beater!!! (I used my Thermomix for all the dairy-free, nut-free, wheat-free cooking, but for the other 80 people who ate 'normal' food, we had some heavy duty kitchen machines to help with the preparation!)

Unfortunately the house we hoped to be moved into by now didn't work out, so we've got to wait another two weeks then we'll be moving to another. (I'm so tired of all this moving stuff... specially when my dh keeps unpacking boxes I've packed to look for something he wants - aaaarrrgghh!!) Anyway, at least we've got more time to sort through the stuff we're packing - I'm getting rid of lots of junk and feeling much more organized. I definitely need a menu plan on weeks like this - gets a bit crazy at meal times otherwise.

If you'd like some ideas for organizing your home, and planning your meals, check out I'm an Organizing Junkie, and Menu Plan Monday. I'm sure you'll find it very helpful. There's also a place on the Thermomix forum where you can post your menu plans, and check out others' plans.

By the way, my 'Blender-Batter Berry Cake' is in a recipe competition on the Thermomix recipe blog - if you like this recipe (or my blog!), leave a comment there on my behalf! :) Have a great week.
