One of my friends, who is an avid follower of my blog recently told me that although she loves my recipes, but that she would enjoy my blog even more if I could give her menus for a week. Most importantly she said that she would enjoy it I could say what side dishes she can make with each dish!
She also said that she would love to have a “Shopping List” with each menu! Quite a tall order!
Here is a menu for the first week of March!

That roulade looks delicious.
And the kerrie frikkadelle – been in the mood for those since about forever!!
The roulade was delicious and very easy to make!
Oh Zirkie, this has been a tall order for you and WoW you have done it perfectly—well done
Thank you, dear Usha!
Your blog is so professional, wonderful.
Still miss making an idiot of myself with your quizzes
Thank you Sidey. I will tell my blog developer – she will be very proud. 🙂
I might put up a quiz on Friday!
yaay, please let me know
Will let you know!
I like all of them except that I would prefer something other than couscous with the chalk pops.
LOL, Col. I suppose you don’t like chickpeas?
It is a standing joke that once when I had to do the grocery shopping all I came back with was chickpeas (they were on a very special special)!
You do grocery shopping? Wow, I am impressed, Col. My husband will only do it when I am really sick and only with a list and if one of the children goes with!
I cannot thank you enough for this. I will be buying groceries this afternoon and guess what I will be making tonight?
Great Michelle!
This is a clever idea, I’m really bad a planning meals for the week ahead. A habit I should really try and get into.
Years ago I used to work out meals for a month!! I must admit it was great to only go to the supermarket and butchery once a month, but nowadays I am tooooo lazy, and only do it for a week at a time!
What a tall order indeed, but you have pulled it off brilliantly! Love the recipe with the bananas- yummo 🙂
I must admit that with all the positive feedback received I feel a bit more inspired to do this regurarly! 🙂
Impresive Dottie!
Nice menus Pinky 🙂
Thanks Hopey!
Wow, sure your friend got lots of request. But turn out, I think it’s quite nice. I’m enjoying your menu and the shopping list definitely helps. 🙂 Thank you, and thanks to your friend too. 😉
🙂 My friend and friends can be very tiring!! …. but it is always a pleasure!
Thanks Sue, I am missing your recipes!!
