I think I succeeded in not repeating any meals, besides, that is, the Sunday afternoon “help yourself to a sandwich” and Friday night’s regular frozen pizza or macaroni and cheese. I have to have some success in trying new things, and the non-repetitive menu was rather satisfying overall. My husband traveled a few times, so that was when I resorted to leftovers or “lazy” things. Here are the main things we ate in February:

• Pumpkin soup and Cheddar Shortcakes
• Chicken burgers (pre-cooked), potatoes, and vegetables
• Macaroni and Cheese (at least twice)
• Frozen Pizza ( at least twice)
• Hawaiin Haystacks with rice
• Chicken pot pie stew and biscuits
• Mozzarella meatballs and pasta with sauce
• Texas Beef Tacos
• Chicken Scallopini
• Tomato Soup and quesadillas
• Spaghetti with Italian sausage and Biscuits
• Risotto with parmesan and peas

Here’s to an even more creative March!

I was trying to think outside the box when I’ve planned my meals this month. Each week I gave myself a new recipe to try, but I didn’t want to be overwhelmed, so I went with ones that sounded easy.

First I tried Hawaiian Haystacks, and Raisin (my three-year-old) loved them! His favorite aspects was the ability to build it himself, but he also loved the pineapple and chow mein noodles, which made it fun.

If you don’t know, it’s a chicken mixture on a bed of rice, with what ever toppings you want.

Toppings we had: tomatoes, spring onions, pineapple, coconut, chow mein noodles, almonds, cheese.

I used a recipe I found online and the cannned Cream of Chicken soup made it far too salty. I’ll try it again sometime without using canned products, but I must admit, it made it nice and easy!
