Sunday Meal Plan Nov 8-14

Meal Planning is a great way to save time and money every week!

Happy Sunday!! The weather here this week has been absolutely amazing. Friday, I took the time to head down by the lakefront with my bestie and we ended up walking almost 7kms around the lake. I will miss doing these walks when the snow comes!

This week has been pretty quiet. The kids are doing well with online learning (SO HAPPY) and I just kept busy with housework, work outs and working on my blog. Yesterday my SO and I snuck away to the cottage for the night and it was a wonderful much needed getaway!


We got quite a bit accomplished at the cottage this weekend. We cut down a dead tree and stored the wood for indoor heating this winter. I also spent 2 hrs raking all the leaves and pine needles that had fallen, in hopes of giving the grass a better chance at growth next Spring. Now that the crowds have dispersed, the wild life took the opportunity to come closer to civilisation. We saw a pair of doe on our road. So beautiful!!

This upcoming week will be a quiet one as well. I've been trying to do a bit of online shopping for Christmas (mostly for my daughter who is obsessed with the Kpop craze and BTS). I've found some awesome deals on some items I'm pretty sure she'll love.

Here is my plan for dinner this week

  • frozen pizza and salad (quick and easy after a night at the cottage and perfect for football)
  • Crock Pot Lasagna with roast asparagus
  • Old fashion tomato noodle soup with biscuits
  • Roast chicken, potatoes and mixed veggies
  • Chicken and Bacon Puff Pastry Pie
  • leftover night (Fridge clean out!)
  • Cheese Enchiladas with guacamole and nachos
I am sharing my post over at Menu Plan Monday

No Yeast Old Fashion Cinnamon Rolls

 These delicious cinnamon sticky rolls have been in my family for over 40 yrs. No yeast is required, so you can whip up a batch of these in no time. Still tender, sticky sweet and delicious! Ever since I can remember Mom would make these as a special treat. It wasn't too often, but every once in a while, we'd come home to these no yeast cinnamon rolls, as an after school snack. Growing up, this is what I thought cinnamon rolls were. I wasn't aware that there was a yeast version of cinnamon rolls. As much as I LOVE the yeast version, this no yeast version seems to make an appearance more frequently here at home.  Since there is no yeast in the dough, it does not need to rise for 30 minutes before being rolled out and baked. When I worked in the retirement home the residents were always excited when I made these cinnamon rolls. They said it reminded them of their childhood. It was amazing seeing how happy a simple recipe could make them. I don't make these very often and

50+ Creative Cottage Meal Ideas

When the warm weather hits many of us head to the cottage, to enjoy the sunshine and time near the water. Instead of always packing up burgers and hot dogs, I've rounded up over 50 creative meal ideas for delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Ever since I was little my family always enjoyed a few weeks camping at a near by provincial park, during the summer months. When us kids, became older and moved away, Mom and Dad bought a trailer which remained parked at a location, so we would often go and visit for a few weeks then too. My mom has always been an amazing cook and with her outside kitchen often made our family favourites, even at camp. Now that my SO and his family have a cottage, we are frequently there for most of the summer. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs seem to be our go to, so I wanted to collect new creative meals perfect to make while camping, or at the cottage.  Breakfast Recipes Healthy Banana Milkshake Thick, creamy banana milkshake made without ice cream, dairy, and

Sam & Cat Sloppy Waffles

 A nod to the popular preteen TV show Sam & Cat, these s loppy waffles pair classic sloppy joes with crisp waffles. Years ago, my daughter fell in love with a kids show called Sam and Cat. This show melds two shows the kids use to watch together. It stars Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) from iCarly and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) from Victorious. It's a witty and fun show and the kids loved the hijinks these two girls get into every week. In one particular episode, they get stuck inside a secret room, they find in their apartment (which use to be Cat's Nonna's before she moved to Elderly Acres). While they are stuck in the secret room, Cat mentions her idea of Sloppy Waffles, which pairs waffles and sloppy joes. Sam falls in love with the idea and once they are rescued by their friend Goomer, the show ends with the girls enjoying Sloppy Waffles. We recently watched the episode on Netflix, and the kids commented that we should try to make Sloppy Waffles. I thought it wa
