Weekly Menu Planning - February 2026

The week leading up to Fat Tue/ Pancake Day is one of my favourite food weeks, right up there with the week between Xmas and NYD, and Thanksgiving.

It’s also probably one week I typically plan better than most. (Maybe not this year, though)

Today, Fat Thu, is Paczki Day in Europe, the day the Poles line up for Paczki. I will probably hit the closest Polish bakery this afternoon to purchase a couple rosehip Paczki and plum Paczki.

Tonight, Thursday, I am going to repurpose some roasted chicken thighs, some andouille sausage, and frozen shrimp into a jambalaya. Maybe this one posted by shrinkrap

I also have leftover corn on hand, which I will turn into a Maque Choux.

Friday:

tuna cakes

mac + cheese

I’m going to visit the Polish neighborhood on Saturday, to check out if any better Paczki options are available this year.

Saturday:

Greek-style beef meatballs

Scalloped potatoes

Sunday:

roast chicken, scrounge

Monday:

scrounge, might add some pizza

Tuesday:

savoury crêpes or savoury meat-filled palacsinta
