I've decided that Andrea J Lee's unwork is a wonderful concept and am trying to work it into my life. Basically it's the 20/80 principle where only 20% of your efforts produce 80% of results.
So for me, Fridays are going to be easy-peasy food. Last Friday we had McCain's beef lasagne (7 minutes in the microwave while I pack dishes or organise a cupboard) and it was delicious. This week we're doing something similar.
Monday
Stirfried beef, veggies and sweet potato. Yes, sweet potato. It is delicious in stir-fry.
Tuesday
Mimmos! - I've been craving for a creamy pasta so we are going to get my chicken and spinach pasta, then home for The Amazing Race. Perfect evening!
Wednesday
Chicken & mushroom casserole with rice
Thursday
Baked potatoes with spicy tomato kidney bean sauce
Friday
Pasta & sauce - the ones where you add milk and water and it's done!

I'm getting ready to post my menu too! Yours sounds great. I would never have thought of stir frying sweet potatoes. Do you bake them first?
Have a day Marcia!
Annie, after cutting them up, I microwave them for a minute just to soften them a bit and then I stirfry with the rest of the veg.
BTW, I do the same with pumpkin!
And it is delicious!
Marcia, you say you are 'craving' creamy pasta. Are you?....you know....lol
Lovely menu. Have a great week.

No, i'm not ;)
The 20/80 concept sounds interesting! Oh how I wish I could like sweet potatoes as I know they are so healthy and inexpensive. I've tried, but it just ain't gonna happen. At least I can get my babies to eat them in homemade baby food! Have a wonderful week!!
The pasta sounds great!
Have a great week!
yum! Your menu looks really great. Happy Monday!
Your menu plan looks great! I have not had sweet potatoes in a stir fry before but am going to try it soon. Have a great week!
Sweet potatoes in stir fry? That actually sounds pretty good! Your menu looks great!
Have a fabulous week!
Your menu sounds wonderful, thanks for sharing.
OH Marcia, Mimmo's....I MISS mimmo's, I'm definitely eating there when I come to Jo'burg next year LOL

Menu Plan
I'm trying to figure out why I wrote "have a day marcia"
I guess I was half asleep when I wrote that (lol).
I'm sure what I meant to say was...
have a wonderfully blessed spectacularly marvelous day Marcia!!!
Yummy!!!!! Delish! Y'all enjoy!
Looks like a great menu plan. I also love creamy pasta. Alfredo is my favorite. Also I love making a seafood pasta (may have to put that on my list for next week...lol).
Hey you, which Amazing Race are you watching? Ours here is finished now for the season.
Thanks also for your very encouraging comment over at Compass Life. You are awesome, you know that!!

Hi Marcia,
Spaghetti squash is a root vegetable that once boiled comes out stringly...like spaghetti. We use it often to replace noodles as my husband is diabetic. Here's a link that will explain it better...

Sounds like a great plan! And the menu sounds very easy - but tasty!
Have a great week!
