Menu Plan Monday 03/10/25


Happy Jet lag savings week everyone! That time change hit me hard when my alarm went off this morning, but I've had a great day (thanks to BF) so I'm enjoying all this energy 😊

Monday : Korean BBQ Beef stir fry with brown rice

Tuesday : Garlic parsley chicken 'sausage' rolls, baked beans salad, carrot pineapple salad, potato salad

Wednesday : Same as Monday

Thursday : Same as Tuesday

Friday : Haven't decided yet

Saturday : Red Robin (DS)

Breakfasts :  Lime blueberry muffins, bacon, breakfast sausage, eggs or omelets, toast, chocolate brioche or raisin bread french toast, cereal, muesli

Lunch : Leftovers or protein from freezer with salad 

Dessert : Sams chocolate muffins

There's always fresh salad fixings and a variety of fresh fruit & veg available. 

We're having really nice temps and sunshine all week, so I decided to make salads for a change.

I've been using lime zest instead of lemon in our muffins and boy what a difference that makes. It started when I didn't have a lemon to zest for the muffins one day and used lime instead. It's so delicious! We are hooked 😊

I started buying organic chicken breasts at Aldi and what a huge difference that is. I've been so sick of the so-called non-GMO chicken at Sams that looks like a string of something (it doesn't even look like meat anymore). The best part is that there's no funky smell to the organic chicken. I'm guessing that smell is from the 'broth' that they inject into the meat. I sure as heck don't miss that junk. The organic chicken only costs $1.71 more per lb than the non-GMO Sams chicken. I'll gladly pay that price, cause I'm a food snob. I feel a whole lot better about eating the organic chicken. I've checked the price at Kroger and they charge $6.99 lb! Crazy! Aldi for the win!


Bon Appetit Peeps!

  1. Go Aldi! 😊 I love adding lime juice to my chicken as it helps to tenderize it and tastes great.

    1. I love limes Belinda! I've only used it with fajita chicken. I'm going to try it with my baked chicken breasts too. Thanks for the tip!

  2. An interesting change in using the lime. We don't allow anything to be injected into our chickens here in Canada as far as I know, but I will need to check and make sure.
    Your menu sounds wonderful.

    God bless.

    1. Thank you Jackie! I've always heard that Canadians have far better quality food than we have here, especially your bread. Will be interesting to learn what you discover about your meat.
