Meals for the next 3 Days!!

With Covid19 numbers increasing in our city & other places I have decided to curb side grocery shop for a awhile. So, that takes some planning.. which leads me to make some recipes this week with groceries I have in the house already! Here are 3 meals I am going to make the next few days..

Usually I decide what to make for dinner & would run to the grocery store but now I am not going to do that. I am going to stock up on staples & then eat our way through them, then re-order. I have to take stock & place an order today.

We have a great independent grocery store here in Edmonton, The Italian Centre Shop, that will get an order ready in about 2 hours so I use that often if I need something fast! Otherwise I order and pick up a few days later. I am also trying to figure out how to use Instacart to order from Costco… there are some items not on the list…like butter!

This is what I am going to cook . tonight, Wednesday & Thursday of this week

Many people ask me "how did you do that?" "will you show me how?' So I decided to make a blog about what I cook and bake. I am in no way a professional cook, but I love to feed people and try new things as well as making the "old foods" My friends are wonderful cooks, each with their own 'specialty' and i will be having guest cooks here, showcasing their favourite things to cook as well!! I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe decide to make some of these foods yourself! I am always available to answer any questions you might have about anything you see here. Some of my recipes are unique to me but most are not. They are all recipes I have found in a variety of ways, some are old family recipes that date back decades and some are new ones!
