at our house...

I am attempting to get organised. 

Not sure if it is the change in the weather or that I have this head cold that will not go away and leave us alone (we have now all had it and I am a little over it - so head cold - your bags are packed!) But at the moment I cant seem to get myself organised.

I have fallen off the Domestic Guru cleaning wagon and the house is humm - well you get the picture. 
I sat down the other night and decided that I have to be a little more organised.  The days are getting shorter and cooler and dinner has to be on the table a little earlier than what is allowed during the warm months of Summer.  So I headed to the bedside table to collect the recipe magazines.

To my surprise there were 4 there waiting to be read and cooked out of.  How did that happen?  Four - The shopping trolley did it honest- or maybe deep down I knew that I needed to find a few new recipes to cook and make into family favourites.

So I have a list - and I am going to stick to it.  That also includes having the ingredients for them and not having to run out to the shop.  Oh and knowing what is in the pantry - maybe that can be another job on the list of 'to do's' this week.

Monday:  Roast (a family fav) with veges and steamed Broccoli

Tuesday:  Tomato and Chicken Korma Curry (slow cooker mini book)

Wednesday:  State of Orgin Night - Calzones (good taste)

Thursday:  Shepherds Pie (family Fav)

Friday:  Creamy Mustard Prawns (Better Homes and Gardens)

Saturday: Burmo's Beef (Family Fav)

Sunday:  Silverside with Veges

Freezer:  Pumpkin Spice Cake and Sausage Rolls

Baking:  Banana ad Maple Bread, Carrot and Zucchini Slice

  2. Thanks for joining in this week. I really need to get back to the organised cooking thing as well. Not so many things I can cook when I only start thinking about dinner an hour before it needs to be on the table - oops. I used to be good but lacking some cooking motivation. Maybe I need some more magazines - LOL! Your week of dinners sound brilliant. Well done. Lou.
