I've been pretty slack lately, and haven't gotten around to menu planning properly - must be because I'm in holiday mode! So I've got to get back to it - I start to go a bit crazy when I don't menu plan, because everyone starts hassling me for food and there's nothing organized, no bread baked, no meat thawed out... yeah, not good.
I hope you've all had a nice holiday, with lots of good food and fun with friends and family! We had a bit of a strange Christmas - an unexpected cyclone came through on Christmas morning, the power went out from 6.30am to 2.30pm, and the septic flooded so we couldn't use the toilet or kitchen sink, so we had no way to cook Christmas dinner, and had to wash dishes in a bucket... fun, fun, fun! So much for the lovely Blueberry and Cinnamon Scrolls I had ready to pop in the oven for breakfast... and we didn't have much else to eat (no bread or cereal or anything), so the kids ate things out of their Christmas stocking, then we went down to Grandma's house and had breakfast there. Luckily I'd made her a loaf of fruit bread for her breakfast, so we went and shared it, as well as some scrambled eggs cooked on the camp cooker! And a kind friend whose power was still on let us cook the slow baked bbq ribs in her oven for lunch (and the veges were cooked on the gas camp cooker), so we survived. The ribs were really yummy (thanks Helene!!) and we had a lovely day after all. :)
This week I'm holding an "Allergy Alternatives Thermomix Demonstration" on Friday evening, if any of you locals are interested - I still have room for one or two more... the menu is below. Please let me know if you'd like to come. A few people in Perth have asked if I could possibly do one of these demonstrations over there when I visit in February; so if you're in Perth and are interested, let me know and we'll see if we can work it out somehow.
Anyway, here's my menu plan for this week - there's lots more menu planning ideas at "I'm an Organizing Junkie" on Menu Plan Monday. Have a great week!
