Meal Planning Sunday

In one of my few attempts to be organised - well at least more organised than previous months, I have taken to planning my family's dinners.  Breakfast and lunch is always a casual affair, so I figure all I have to worry about is dinner.

Monday:          Thai Fish Cakes with Bean Sprout Salad  
Tuesday:           Salmon and Pasta Bake (From Kat at the Organised Housewife)
Wednesday:      Beef, Capsicum and Eggplant Curry (Recipe Below)
Thursday:        Nasi Goreng (with chicken instead of Tofu)
Friday:             Pizza Night
Saturday:         Creamy Prawn and Tomato Fettucini (Recipe Below)
Sunday:            Caesar Salad (with Cos lettuce from our own garden....yum!!!) (Recipe Below)

Baking: Triple Treat Choc Muffins and Bacon and Cheese Pizza Scrolls.

Sorry I don't have pictures to go with the Recipes - I promise next time I will add them!!  I'm not that organised yet....lol..
