Whats For Dinner ~ Meal Plan Monday

Here we are at the start of another week. Its crazy how Mondays come around so fast. The next couple of days are going to very busy as its Thanksgiving week. On Saturday we picked up our Turkey, and everything we could possibly need for a Thanksgiving feast... Everything that is except an oven!!!. I had been struggling with it reaching temperature all last week, but finally, over the weekend it gave up completely. Not good! No one needs this kind of expense so close to Christmas.

So..even though I hate shopping on a Sunday..after church MrD and I shot off to look for a new stove. We found a couple within our price range.. but they couldnt deliver until after Thanksgiving. .sigh!. So we paid a bit extra and its being delivered this afternoon. Actually, apart from the price which was shocking (its been over 20 years since I bought one) I really like it.. especially as the unlike my old one..the grill/broiler is inside the oven and not at the bottom of the stove. No more kneeling on the floor when I make cheese on toast!! So MrD is gratedful that he wont have to eat a microwave dinner... and Im grateful I dont have an oven to clean before Thursday. Not quite what Thanksgiving gratitude is all about!

But still...Im looking forward to the week...especially as MrD has four whole days off. Annnd.. next weekend... the Christmas decorations will start to go up.  I love this time of the year.

So this weeks menu is a typical one for Thanksgiving week.. Simple meals up to the big day... then plenty of leftovers.
