This week’s menu plan is full of simple dinner ideas for the cooler temperatures. If you are in need of a little comfort try our lasagna pierogis and baked Italian meatballs, or whip up our beer brats. And why not use up the last of the summer peaches in our delicious dessert.
My meal plan went out the window this week. I had it all written, and had done all the shopping, then realised I had read my calendar wrong and I that I had not one but two events right on dinnertime this week. This necessitated a quick menu rethink, taking into consideration what I had on hand and what meals would be OK to reheat. Time to drag out the gadgets.
Thank goodness for the slow cooker and a good chicken curry. And I would have been lost without my rice cooker and it’s automatic timer. I can’t rave about this machine enough.
Our autumn menu plan this week is full of simple dinner ideas for the cooler temperatures.

If the evenings are cooler in your area, then try lasagna pierogis or baked Italian meatballs. And use up the last of the summer peaches in our delicious dessert. Enjoy!

Cooking rice is one thing that I’ve never managed to master. It was only after the purchase of a rice cooker that it started to appear on our plates with any degree of regularity. Thank god for technology, I say.
