Weekly Menu (2025)

[Morning Glory]

I didn’t get the leg of lamb but I got the shoulder of the lamb, i think it’s cheaper and quicker to cook, so I’m going to try that tomorrow.

Its delicious but needs slow cooking. I'd say several hours. Maybe its quicker than leg but I'm not sure.

I might put the roast on the minute I get up. My husband gets hungry at 11:00AM because he is up early. My lamb is about 5 pounds.

I bought some Castilla squash and now I’m researching recipes for that vegetable. Maybe au gratin with my leftover croutons.
I like to eat orange colored vegetables.

Ok, I think I just forget about the squash dish with the lamb, I will do some sort of potato dish with the lamb.
I’m saving the squash to do miso glaze the following day with the balsamic chicken.

I could never do a weekly menu. I'd be bored out of my mind on Tuesday thinking " I don't want spag bol tomorrow, and definitely no tikka masala on Friday" so I'd push off to the Sushi place.

I use my weekly menu as strictly a jumping off point.
There's no hard nor fast rules ...

Yes my weekly menu is evolving. It’s now roasted shoulder lamb with onions, potato, carrots. I will not make a separate potato dish, I stick with simplicity, haha. I also just make red cabbage, red apple, red onions(3 reds), and garbanzo beans salad. Maybe throwing a bit of dill because I like dill and I only paid 20c for a bunch. I may make some mint sauce because I also bought mint for 20c. My daughter likes mint sauce with everything.

We're still having shrimp quesadillas on Saturday, right?

Maybe not, I bought some Arabic bread, so i might use the bread for something with shrimp.

My take on a weekly menu is to go to the supermarket on a Saturday, and buy loads of stuff that looks good, fresh, cheap, interesting, or just plain different.
Depending on what I've got, I'll start putting dishes together and, yes, planning - but in my head. Changes are immediate, frequent, and often quixotic!

Lebanese Fattoush. First thing that came to mind.

Here is a picture of this bread, it’s from New York and cholesterol free.

I'm not much of a menu planner.
I buy what I see and like and can afford.
Then I start thinking what to cook with it. Yes, it's a bit upside down or inside out
