Weekly Menu Planning - May 2025

Cooking for 3 in Ontario.

Mon:
I have local asparagus and ramps so I’ll be using those tonight. I think in this salad:

I haven’t decided on the protein yet. Maybe Greek beef meatballs or biftekia. I have made this biftekia recipe several times:

It’s funny. I was asked if I make any of the dishes I post recipes for. I know I am guilty of posting a lot of recipes. I like sharing recipes, and I like reading recipes. I am on a restrictive diet and I have to avoid sugar and salt, so I often am posting photos of baked goods I will never buy and recipes for cakes I’ll never make or eat.

I posted and read a lot about Irish Spice Bags a while back. I’ve been avoiding binging on junk food and fast food, so who knows when or if I’ll ever order an Irish Spice Bag. Or a deep-fried Mars Bar. I’ll still chat about things online even if I am trying to stay on the Healthy Wagon in real life.

I don’t always post results of recipes I do try, because I don’t always take photos of what I make, and sometimes what I make looks like a dog’s breakfast.

I make or prepare dried or canned beans 3 times a week. They are on the table every night.

Unless I’m making a special new recipe I follow closely, I don’t post photos of the beans I make. My usual beans are Greek or Italian- style with tomato and herbs, maple/ brown sugar/ molasses baked beans, or curry powder / coconut/ dried apricot beans. I make these a lot and none of you need to see photos of my Tue night winged beans. LOL
